Your data lives in 5–10 disconnected systems. Your team decides by gut while margins leak daily. That’s the tradeoff Sundae removes.

THE PROBLEM
Every restaurant group we work with faces the same blind spots.
Replaces the delay between data and action: Excel exports · POS dashboards · BI dashboards · analyst queue · weekly review meetings
Same data. Faster decision. Better action.
Restaurants used to choose between speed, quality, and cost. Sundae was built to deliver all three at once — that's the entire point.
Connect your stack fast. Pulse updates through the shift, and Sundae Intelligence answers with sources instead of sending teams back into the report queue.
Sundae ships with 179+ governed restaurant data models, peer-anchored benchmarks, and source-cited AI answers — so teams are not building from a blank BI canvas.
BI licenses are only the visible cost. The real spend is analysts, integrations, custom models, dashboard upkeep, and delayed decisions. Sundae is restaurant-ready from day one, with Report Lite free to start.
That's not a tradeoff. That's your operating advantage.
WHAT YOU RETIRE
Generic BI was built for analysts. Sundae was built for the people running restaurants.
One platform. Restaurant-native from day one.

Compare locations against anonymized peers by format, market, and performance metric. The network gets more useful as more restaurants join.
Not another dashboard. A restaurant intelligence layer.
Sundae connects performance, plan, market context, and next action — so teams can move before the shift is over.
Lunch revenue is pacing 14% behind plan.

Average check is steady, so the issue is traffic — not pricing.

By the time the weekly recap lands, the bad shift is over and the margin is gone.
Pulse shows you which location needs help right now — pacing, labor, leakage, all updated through the shift.
QSR, casual dining, fine dining, cloud kitchens, and hospitality groups inform the intelligence layer restaurants actually need — from single-shop operators to multi-brand portfolios.
Patterns we hear from operators and see across restaurant reporting workflows. Anonymized and generalized.
Teams wait 2–3 days for reports, exports, or analyst follow-ups. By the time the answer arrives, the shift has already happened.
Sundae Intelligence gives teams source-cited answers in seconds, across the systems they already use.
Voids, comps, discounts, and POS exceptions are small on their own. Left unreviewed, they can create between 1–3% of revenue and margin leakage.
Pulse flags exception patterns during the shift, attributed to the server, daypart, location, or behavior driving them.
Margin variance is often explained at month-end, after the costs are already booked.
Insights connects revenue, labor, food cost, discounts, and pricing so teams can see the cause while it is still actionable.
