KOB watches what you’re paying

Cost Watch starts with supplier emails. Photo OCR is the fallback. Unit-cost flags appear when invoice lines exist — never invented savings.

KOB learns how you run the restaurant

Here is a draft reply to the wait complaint. Send it, and offer a voucher?

You

Send it — no voucher.

Sent. Should I avoid offering vouchers for complaints going forward?

Thursday is quiet. I can send last month’s Thursday guests a 20% offer.

You

Never discount busy nights without asking me first. Keep Thursday as-is.

Got it — confirm before I save that as a house rule?

One manager. The tools you already have.

Labels match readiness: LIVE, BETA, CONNECTING, or COMING NEXT. No “Live now” without a real adapter.

    Public hours, rating, review count — watched every morning

    LIVE
  • Website hours / menu check

    Compare public site to Google. Write-back needs reconnect.
