How it works

From reporting
to running it for you

Other back-office tools tell you what already happened. YieldAI tells you what to do next — and, when you're ready, does it. At your pace. Per workflow.

The autonomy ladder

Three stages. You choose how far to climb.

Every workflow lives independently on the ladder. Ordering can be on Autopilot while scheduling stays on Suggest. Change either, anytime.

Once you trust the engine on a workflow, promote it. YieldAI now drafts the artifact — the PO, the schedule, the prep list — and waits for your sign-off. The busywork disappears; the judgment stays with you.

Ordering
Pre-drafted purchase orders by supplier, sent to your inbox at 4pm Thursday. Edit quantities, hit send.
Scheduling
Full week pre-built against your forecast. Drag-and-drop tweaks, then publish to Homebase/7Shifts.
Prep
Tomorrow's prep list staged in the kitchen UI at end-of-day. Lead cook approves and it prints at 6am.

The data engine

The more history it sees, the smarter it gets.

YieldAI ingests every transaction, every shift, every invoice, every count — and uses them to feed a single brain that runs every workflow.

Every order

improves the demand model.

Every shift

teaches it your labor patterns.

Every count

sharpens variance and reorder points.

Trust & control

Autopilot earns its access.

Autonomy is a privilege, not a default. Every layer of YieldAI is built so that you can review, override, or roll back — and so that nothing can run away from you.

Guardrails you set

Per-workflow caps: max PO size, max labor variance, approved supplier list. Autopilot can never exceed them.

Full audit trail

Every suggestion, approval, edit, and autonomous action is logged with the data that drove it. Replayable forever.

Per-workflow control

Ordering on Autopilot, scheduling on Co-pilot, prep on Suggest — and change any of them in a single click.

Replayable, always

Every autonomous decision YieldAI makes is logged with the inputs it used and the rule that fired. Open the activity log to see exactly why a PO was placed at 4:02pm or why Tuesday's schedule got 4 hours cut. Nothing is a black box.
