Multi-Location Management

6 Different Software Tools. One Unified Portal.

Multi-unit restaurants use an average of 6 different back-of-house software tools. Each location runs its own POS reports, its own reservation system, its own marketing. The result: inconsistency, data silos, and operational blind spots. Our platform unifies everything — AI agents, reservations, orders, loyalty, analytics, and messaging — into a single portal across all your venues.

Every Location Is an Island

When each location runs its own systems, you get inconsistent data, fragmented customer experiences, and no way to compare performance. Your downtown location uses one reservation system while your suburban outpost uses another. Marketing campaigns go out at different times with different messaging. Your highest-performing location's practices never spread to the rest. And pulling a consolidated report means exporting CSVs from 6 different platforms.

Capabilities

Everything You Need to Run Multiple Locations

A unified operations platform that gives you full visibility and control across every venue.

Unified Dashboard

One screen showing revenue, calls, reservations, orders, and alerts across all locations. Drill down into any venue with one click. Compare performance side-by-side with customizable date ranges.

Cross-Location Analytics

See which locations are growing, which are declining, and why. Compare cover counts, average checks, customer retention, and AI agent performance. Identify top performers and replicate their success.

Centralized Settings

Push menu updates, hours changes, AI agent prompts, and marketing campaigns to all locations simultaneously. Or customize per venue. You control the balance between consistency and local flexibility.

Per-Venue AI Agents

Each location gets its own AI voice agent trained on its specific menu, hours, and policies. All agents share your brand voice and standards but handle location-specific questions correctly.

Location-Level Reporting

Automated daily, weekly, and monthly reports per location. Cover counts, revenue, labor metrics, customer satisfaction, AI call handling rates. Delivered to the right managers automatically.

Staff Management

Track staffing levels, turnover rates, and labor costs across venues. Identify locations that are consistently understaffed. Reduce the $5,864 per-hire cost through better retention insights — Toast/NRA, 2025.

Consistent Branding

Ensure every location delivers the same experience. Shared menu standards, consistent AI agent responses, unified loyalty programs, and coordinated marketing campaigns. One brand, many doors.

Role-Based Access

Owners see everything. Regional managers see their territory. Location managers see their venue. Staff sees what they need. Fine-grained permissions ensure the right people have the right access.

One Customer, One Profile, Every Location

When a guest visits your downtown location on Friday and your airport location on Monday, they have one unified profile. Their loyalty points, preferences, dietary restrictions, and visit history travel with them. Your AI agent at any location knows who they are. This isn't just convenience — it's the difference between a customer feeling like they're visiting a chain and feeling like they're visiting their restaurant.

  • Unified customer profiles across all locations automatically
  • Loyalty points earned at one location redeemable at any
  • AI agents at every venue share customer context
  • Cross-location analytics reveal where customers visit and why
