OPERATIONS INTELLIGENCE

Four locations, a thousand orders a day, every inventory call made by gut. Now one dashboard runs all four on data, and the owner can see which dish actually earns.

STUDY · 04

Four locations. Four POS systems. No single view.

We built this as a working prototype, inspired by the real bottleneck of a regional QSR chain. If this sounds like your business, we can build and ship your version in about 12 days.

Sound like your business? QSR chains. Multi-location restaurants. Any food brand running on gut feel and a POS dump. The pattern is the same.

THE OWNER

Faisal sleeps at 3 AM
so the spit can rest.

Faisal opened the first Zaatar Republic above a tailor in Sharjah in 2019. Slow-roasted lamb, bread pressed in-house, toum whipped twice a day. People queued. He opened a second branch. Then two more.

Four locations. A thousand orders a day. Three managers to call and a WhatsApp group that never stops. Every inventory decision made by gut. So we built him the dashboard.

THE BUSINESS

Daily orders across all branches

Unknown

Actual margin per dish

Best-seller might be the worst earner. No data to prove it.

His garlic sauce chicken wrap is the most popular item on the menu. It might also be losing money.

Without unit economics, Faisal is flying blind. He knows the monthly profit. He cannot tell you which dish earns and which dish bleeds.

Smart Pricing Opportunity

Falafel Box has 60% margin but lowest sales. Recommended: Launch “Falafel Friday” combo at 25 AED (current 15 AED box + drink + fries). Projected margin: 45% on higher volume.

Data In

POS systems, delivery platforms, and supplier invoices feed into one place. No manual entry.

AI Analyzes

Demand patterns, waste, margins, pricing gaps. Updated every hour.

Decisions Out

How much chicken to order. What to promote. When to run an offer. Faisal decides on data, not a guess.
