Frequently Asked Questions

Our platform integrates seamlessly with your existing POS system to automatically collect sales data in real-time. We analyse this data to track dish performance, identify ordering patterns, and provide detailed insights on menu item profitability. The system monitors metrics such as sales volume, profit margins, customer preferences, and seasonal trends to give you a comprehensive view of your menu's performance.

Our advanced algorithms process this information to generate actionable recommendations for menu optimisation, pricing adjustments, and inventory management. All data is presented through intuitive dashboards and customisable reports that make it easy to understand and act upon the insights.

We support integration with most major POS systems used in the restaurant industry, including Square, Toast, Lightspeed, Revel, TouchBistro, and many others. Our flexible API architecture allows us to connect with both cloud-based and on-premise POS solutions.

If you're using a less common POS system, our technical team can work with you to develop a custom integration. We also offer manual data import options for restaurants that prefer not to integrate directly with their POS system. Contact us to discuss your specific POS requirements and we'll confirm compatibility.

You'll begin seeing basic performance metrics and trends within 24-48 hours of integration, as soon as your POS data starts flowing into our system. Initial insights about top-performing dishes and basic sales patterns are available immediately.

More comprehensive analytics and actionable recommendations typically become available after 1-2 weeks of data collection, allowing our algorithms to identify meaningful patterns and trends. For the most robust insights and accurate forecasting, we recommend allowing 4-6 weeks of data collection, which provides sufficient information for seasonal adjustments and detailed menu engineering recommendations.
