The three problems that break independent margin

Every independent operator has these three holes in their back office. We close them all.

The pain

Surprise food cost at month end

Counts happen once a month, invoices stack up in a folder, and you find out you lost 4 points after the damage is done.

What YieldAI does

Real-time food cost

YieldAI matches invoices to canonical ingredients, watches PAR drift daily, and flags variance in hours — not 30 days late.

The pain

Overstaffed Tuesdays, understaffed Saturdays

You draft the schedule on Sunday from gut feel. Labor % swings wildly. Staff are upset both ways.

What YieldAI does

Schedules from the forecast

YieldAI drafts the full week against an item-level demand forecast. Hits your labor target. Respects availability. You hit publish.

The pain

Ordering from gut feel, not data

You eyeball walk-in stock, call the rep, and overshoot half the time. Waste in the trash, cash trapped on the shelves.

What YieldAI does

PAR levels that learn

YieldAI sets PAR from real consumption, drafts the PO from current stock + forecast demand, and flags when you're trending out.
