AI Employees

Meet Your Restaurant AI Employees

AI employees don't just report on your restaurant — they run it with you. Five specialized agents, powered by the Restaurant Intelligence Layer, monitoring, deciding and acting around the clock.

AI Restaurant COO

Claw Manager

Your always-on chief operating officer. Watches every metric, finds every issue, recommends every action.

Business monitoringRevenue analysisDaily reportsDecision recommendationsAnomaly detectionShift optimization

CLAW MANAGER · LIVE INSIGHT

"Your dinner revenue dropped 12% compared to last Tuesday. I found three causes: a 22-minute wait time spike at 7pm, a key menu item 86'd for 90 minutes, and rain reducing walk-ins by 18%. I recommend two actions: pre-station the expo line on rainy evenings, and add a backup prep for the 86'd item."

Continuous business monitoringTracks revenue, covers, labor, waste and service metrics in real time across every location.
Root-cause analysisWhen metrics move, Claw Manager traces why — connecting data across POS, kitchen and weather.
Actionable recommendationsEvery insight comes with specific, prioritized actions — not just dashboards.

AI Growth Manager

Claw Marketing Agent

Your growth strategist. Segments customers, generates campaigns, optimizes retention and designs promotions that convert.

CLAW MARKETING · CAMPAIGN PROPOSAL

"I identified 342 inactive customers (no visit in 60+ days) who previously ordered your truffle pasta. Created a loyalty campaign: 'We Miss Your Table' — 20% off that dish for their next visit, delivered via email and SMS. Projected reactivation rate: 18–24%, incremental revenue: $4,200–$5,600."

Smart customer segmentationGroups diners by behavior, preference and value — not just recency and frequency.
Campaign generationWrites, schedules and A/B tests campaigns across email, SMS and social — automatically.
Retention & churn preventionSpots at-risk customers before they leave and triggers win-back sequences.

AI Business Analyst

Claw Analytics

Your data scientist. Turns raw operations data into sales intelligence, menu optimization and forecasts you can act on.

Sales intelligenceMenu optimizationForecastingPerformance analysisMargin analysisBenchmarking

CLAW ANALYTICS · MENU INSIGHT

"Your highest margin items (68%+) are under-promoted: they represent 12% of menu appearances but only 4% of marketing spend. Meanwhile your lowest-margin appetizer gets 31% of promo budget. Reallocating 15% of spend to high-margin items projects a 7-point gross margin lift this quarter."

Sales intelligence & forecastingDemand forecasts by daypart, dish and location — accounting for seasonality, weather and events.
Menu engineeringClassifies every item by popularity and margin — tells you what to promote, reprice or retire.
BenchmarkingCompares your performance against market benchmarks — anonymously, at the concept and region level.

AI Operations Co-pilot

Claw Ops Assistant

Your always-on operations co-pilot. Ask anything in plain language, get instant answers, daily action lists and real-time decision support — no dashboards required.

Conversational Q&ADaily action listInventory alertsCost trackingShift suggestionsVendor management

CLAW OPS · LIVE CONVERSATION

"How are we doing on labor cost this week compared to last week, and do I need to adjust tomorrow's schedule?"

"Labor cost is running 4.2% above target this week — driven by overtime on Friday and Saturday. For tomorrow, I recommend cutting 1 shift from the dinner line (forecast covers are down 8% due to rain) and moving one prep shift from AM to PM. This saves approximately $340 and keeps service levels within target. Want me to draft the schedule change for your approval?"

Conversational operations Q&AAsk any question about your restaurant in plain language — revenue, costs, inventory, staffing. Get instant, sourced answers without navigating dashboards.
Daily prioritized action listEvery morning, a ranked to-do list: what needs attention today, why it matters, and the recommended action. No more scanning 12 reports to find what's urgent.
Inventory & supply alertsPredicts stockouts 3–5 days in advance, suggests reorder timing and quantities, compares vendor prices, and flags waste patterns before they hit your P&L.

Better Together

Five agents. One operating rhythm.

They don't work in silos. Manager, Marketing, Analytics, Ops and Concierge share the same intelligence layer — and they hand off work to each other automatically.

SCENARIO 01

Slow Tuesday detected

Claw Manager notices dinner covers are running 22% below forecast by 5pm. It flags the gap to Claw Marketing, which immediately segments nearby customers who haven't visited in 30+ days and launches a same-day "Tuesday Table" offer. Claw Analytics tracks redemption in real time and projects the campaign's ROI by close of service.

Manager detects → Marketing acts → Analytics measures

SCENARIO 02

Menu margin leak found

Claw Analytics identifies that the top-selling appetizer has dropped 11 margin points in 6 weeks due to ingredient cost inflation. It shares the finding with Claw Manager, who evaluates operational substitutions and portion adjustments. Claw Marketing then recommends repositioning the dish as a "signature" with a modest price increase — and A/B tests the new pricing with loyalty members.

Analytics finds → Manager evaluates → Marketing tests

SCENARIO 03

New location opening

Claw Analytics builds a demand forecast for the new location using the graph's market intelligence — cuisine trends, competitor density and local demographics. Claw Manager uses the forecast to build the opening-week staffing and prep schedule. Claw Marketing pre-segments the trade area, launches a pre-opening loyalty waitlist, and coordinates a soft-opening influencer campaign — all before day one.

Analytics forecasts → Manager plans → Marketing launches

SCENARIO 04

Cost & service real-time sync

Claw Ops Assistant flags that beef cost is up 12% this week and projects a margin hit. Simultaneously, Claw Concierge notices three customer comments about smaller steak portions. Ops Assistant traces the root cause: kitchen reduced portion sizes to offset cost without updating the menu. Claw Manager approves a targeted price adjustment on premium cuts instead. Claw Marketing updates menu copy and Concierge proactively reaches out to the affected customers with a complimentary side — turning a cost problem into a service recovery.

Ops detects → Concierge surfaces → Manager decides → Marketing & Concierge execute

SCENARIO 05

Multilingual recovery loop

A customer leaves a 1-star review in Mandarin complaining about a delayed delivery and cold food. Claw Concierge detects the language, drafts a sincere apology in Simplified Chinese, and offers a 20% discount on their next order — within policy limits. It flags the incident to Claw Ops Assistant, who traces the delay to a specific driver slot and a kitchen ticket bottleneck. Claw Manager implements a peak-time expediter role. Claw Concierge follows up with the customer three days later in Chinese. Claw Marketing adds the recovered customer to a VIP re-engagement segment. The customer returns and leaves a 4-star updated review.

Concierge responds → Ops traces → Manager fixes → Concierge follows up → Marketing retains

How They Work

Five agents. One intelligence layer.

Every AI employee draws on the same Restaurant Intelligence Layer — so your COO, marketer, analyst, operations co-pilot and concierge always agree on the facts.

STEP 01

Connect Your Data

POS, reservations, delivery, inventory and reviews flow into the Intelligence Layer — no rip-and-replace.

STEP 02

Intelligence Understands

The Food Graph and analytics layer turn raw data into structured, computable restaurant intelligence.

STEP 03

Agents Act

Claw Manager, Marketing and Analytics monitor, decide and execute — with you in control at every step.

Deployment & Control

AI employees with human oversight.

Every agent is configurable, auditable and under your control. Choose what they can do autonomously — and what requires your sign-off.

Three Autonomy Modes

Choose how much authority each agent has — per action type, per location, per time window.

Advise only — Agents generate insights and recommendations; humans approve every action.
Approved actions — Routine tasks (reports, scheduling suggestions) auto-execute; high-impact changes need approval.
Autonomous — Agents act within defined guardrails and budgets; you get notified, not asked.

Full Audit Trail

Everything an agent sees, decides and does is logged — searchable, exportable and compliant.

Time-stamped decision log — Every recommendation with the data and reasoning behind it.
Action execution history — What was done, when, by whom (agent or human), and the outcome.
One-click rollback — Reverse any agent-executed action instantly; no irreversible changes.
