1. The Jetty forecast 268 covers tonight, up 22% on a normal Tuesday. A 40-cover corporate booking lands at 7pm. Recommend rostering one extra runner and prepping +18 barramundi portions; current par leaves you 6 short by 8:30pm.
2. Lumen Rooftop Bar: clear 23°C evening. Rooftop demand spikes on fine nights. Forecast +31% on cocktails. Pre-batch the Negroni and Spritz service; gin stock covers tonight but reorders Thursday.
3. Saltbush Bistro running hot on food cost (34.1%). Eye fillet wastage is the driver. AI suggests running the braised-beef special to move the cheaper cut and pull food cost back toward 30%.

Only Saltbush Bistro needs attention tonight (food cost). All other venues are green on cost and staffed for forecast covers.
What is thisLive stock-on-hand across every venue store and cool-room: par levels, days of cover, waste and cost of goods, in one place instead of clipboards.
What AI does hereCounts down stock against forecast covers, drafts tonight’s reorder before you run out, and flags waste and variance (theoretical vs actual) the moment a line drifts.
Saves the head chefTypically saves the head chef ~5h per week on stocktakes and ordering, and recovers food-cost points lost to over-ordering and waste.

Auto-reorder drafted (7 lines): Against tonight’s 268-cover forecast at The Jetty, you run out of barramundi by 8:30pm and king prawns by 7:45pm. Suggested order: 26kg barramundi, 24kg prawns, 6 btl Hendrick’s, 7 case pinot grigio, 6kg burrata, $3,910 across 3 suppliers, cut-off 5pm. Review & send below.
Variance flag, Saltbush Bistro: Eye fillet theoretical usage is 17kg, actual is 23kg this week. That 6kg gap (≈$540) is trim waste or over-portioning. Recommend a portion-control check and weighing station audit.
Waste pattern: Sourdough waste runs highest on Sunday nights (avg 9 loaves binned). Recommend cutting Sunday’s bake by 25% and diverting day-old loaves to the Saltbush bruschetta special, saving ~$120/week.

Sales & Demand Insight
⚡ AI-Powered
Fine-weather lift: On clear evenings (23°C+), Lumen Rooftop covers run 31% above baseline. Tonight is clear, so the model has lifted its cocktail forecast and pre-batching is recommended.
Menu engineering: Whole barramundi and rock oysters are your “stars” (high sales, high margin). The seafood linguine is a “dog”: low volume, 49% margin. Recommend re-costing or replacing it on the next menu print.
Average spend: Group spend-per-head is up $3.10 to $77.90, driven by wine attachment at Marea (+11%). The AI suggests training the same wine-pairing prompts into The Jetty’s floor team.
What is thisWages as a share of revenue, shift coverage and this week’s roster across every venue, with the wage forecast tracked against expected sales.

Tonight, The Jetty: 268 covers forecast with a 40-cover corporate at 7pm. The current roster is one runner short from 6:30–9:30pm. Recommend filling the open Saturday runner shift and adding a casual for the corporate window. Cost: ~$210; protects service times.
Saltbush Bistro over-staffed: Tuesday–Thursday dinners are rostered for 142–160 covers but trending 110–125. Dropping one kitchen-hand shift midweek pulls wage % from 31.2% toward 28.5% with no service impact.
Weekend coverage: 4 open shifts across the group this weekend (2 runners, 1 bartender, 1 KP). All have qualified casuals available; auto-offer messages drafted, pending your approval.
What is thisEvery supplier in one register: what they deliver, when, current pricing and reliability, with par-based orders raised automatically against stock.

Barramundi up 6% this week: Gold Coast Seafood is now $32/kg vs your $30 benchmark. On 26kg/night that’s +$52/day. Market driver: rough weather cut supply. Recommend running the special on snapper (steady at $24/kg) for 2–3 nights.
Produce creep: Tweed Valley citrus and herbs are tracking 4% over the 90-day average. The AI has flagged a quote request to a second produce supplier for comparison, pending your go-ahead.
Locked-in win: Coastal Wine Merchants held pinot grigio flat under your volume agreement while market prices rose 7%. Estimated saving this quarter: $1,180. Agreement renews August; reminder set.

Ask anything about your venues in plain English. The AI searches across all venue data: covers, revenue, food cost, waste, rosters, suppliers and stock.
Which venue is over on food cost?
Saltbush Bistro is the one over: 34.1% food cost against your 30% target. The driver is eye-fillet waste (6kg variance this week, ≈$540). Running the braised-beef special to move the cheaper cut pulls it back toward 30%.
