The Helmsight Daily Briefing connects your POS, scheduler, inventory, and reviews into one screen. Issues identified before they cost money. Every number proven with math.
Your GM opens Toast, then 7shifts, then the inventory sheet, then email, then Yelp. Before seeing the dining room.
Food cost was 4% over budget for 3 weeks. You found out when the P&L hit. That's $6,000 gone.
Your POS knows sales. Your scheduler knows labor. Your spreadsheet knows inventory. No single screen connects them.
You're overstaffed Tuesday lunch and understaffed Friday dinner. But the data to see that lives in 3 different apps.
Revenue, covers, average check, and daypart breakdown pulled from your POS. Compared to same day last week and 4-week average.
Who's scheduled, projected labor percentage, and overtime risks. Flags if you're overstaffed or understaffed vs. the sales forecast.
Rolling 7-day food cost compared to your target. Highlights invoice anomalies, waste spikes, and items trending over par.

If your $2M restaurant runs 5% net margin, you make $100K a year. Finding $145K in savings and revenue (the midpoint) increases your profit by 145%.
That's the same bottom-line impact as generating $2.9M in new revenue.
