One hundred restaurants, ten at a time.

How it starts.

1. 01

   You tell us when you want to go live

   The form below asks for the month. We bring restaurants live ten at a time, so the date you pick is the wave you join.

2. 02

   We send you the app

   AI-R Staff is on TestFlight for the beta, not the App Store. When your wave opens, one of us sends the invite to the email you give us, and the app installs on the iPads and iPhones you already own.

3. 03

   You start the plan below

   The plan lives in the app. It opens on the step you are on, tells you what it needs from you, and does the rest itself. Nothing here is a form to fill in alone.

A computer, then the iPad, then every iPhone.

1. Where you start

   Computer

   You ask for a seat here. The back office lives in the browser, on a PC or a Mac: your team, your menu, your settings and the books.

2. Where the plan runs

   iPad

   The invite installs AI-R Staff on the iPads you already own. The plan opens there, and so does the Today screen that runs the room once you go live.

3. Where it ends up

   iPhone

   The same app on the iPhones you already own. Staff take orders at the table, and you check last night's close from wherever you are.

Then the plan. 20 steps, in three phases.

Each phase is named for what you get at the end of it, not for the work it costs. This is the same road the app walks you down, in the same order, with the same numbers. Most of it is a conversation: you answer what only you can answer, and AI-R fills in the rest.

Banking and card processing comes third because the processor application takes the longest and nothing else waits on it. Recipes and plate costs sit in phase one because they are what turn your menu into food cost later. Food costs are there too, inside Features after the cut, rather than on the road.
