Your POS already knows which regulars are drifting. Restaurant Intel tells you.
Every check your POS records says who came in and what they spent. Restaurant Intel turns that export into the few numbers an owner can act on each week, for $250 a month.
Built to pay for itself, and to show you whether it has
The plan is built to pay for itself, and to show you whether it has. Win-back offers go only to guests worth bringing back, an offer deeper than your margin is blocked before it goes out, and every campaign is measured against a randomised holdout of guests who received nothing. The difference between the two groups is what the campaign actually returned, and you see it next to the $250.
Every guest figure shows what it rests on
Most restaurant transactions are anonymous: a guest who paid cash on a second visit looks like a guest who never came back. Every guest-level figure in Restaurant Intel is shown beside the share of guests your POS actually identifies, so a retention rate never claims more than the data supports.
From the export your POS already produces

- CampaignsEach campaign measured against a randomised holdout, so you see what it actually returned.
- Approval queueNothing goes to a guest until you approve it.
Cash

Upload the export, check the mapping, done
You export from your POS and upload the file; the import wizard maps the columns and shows you every row it could not read. It reads the standard exports of the four systems below, and it always shows its mapping because exports vary by reseller. Guest emails and phone numbers are kept for your own marketing with consent tracked. They are never shared.
$250 a month
The data plan is Restaurant Intel on its own, every screen listed above. You run it yourself. Nothing goes to a guest until you approve it.
If you want a person reading the numbers with you, Restaurant Intel can be added to any CFO tier. You get the weekly cash forecast with a reviewed note and the monthly pack, in the same portal as your restaurant data. See the CFO tiers.

Questions owners ask
Which POS systems work?
The standard exports from these four:
- Toast
- Square
- Clover
- Lightspeed
If yours is not on the list, send a sample export and I will tell you whether it maps.
Do I need QuickBooks?
No. Restaurant Intel runs from the POS export alone. The cash view is sharper if you enter your payroll dates and regular bills, which takes a few minutes once.
How many locations?
One or several. Each location is set up on its own, and the dashboards show them together or apart.
Will it send anything to my guests on its own?
No. Win-back drafts wait in an approval queue, and nothing reaches a guest until you approve it.
Is there a contract?
No. Pay monthly and cancel any month, or pay annually for twelve months at the price of ten. Your data exports with you.
