One engineer, not another app
A named engineer connects the systems you already run, watches them daily, and writes your Monday brief. You never log into five tabs to figure out how the week went.
Atlas for Restaurants · Managed under a written SLA
Know what tonight will cost you before service starts.
Atlas connects your POS, reservations, payroll, and books, watches them daily, and puts last night, this week, and tonight on one screen: sales versus the same weekday, labor versus target, and tonight's book before service. Every Monday your engineer writes the one thing to do about it. One flat monthly price. One engineer who knows your restaurant. No new POS. No spreadsheets.

Last night, this week, and tonight on one screen. The Monday brief is the written next step.
What this is
Your numbers already know what to fix. Nobody reads them.
The signals live in silos: sales in the POS, labor in payroll, tonight's book in the reservation system, margins in the books. Atlas reads them together every day and tells you the one thing worth doing, before it costs you.
Last night, this week, tonight
Sales versus the same weekday, labor versus target, and hour-by-hour pacing for tonight — on one screen before service starts.
Your menu, finally legible
Every item ranked by how often it sells and the margin it carries: stars, plowhorses, puzzles, and dogs. What to promote, what to reprice, what to cut, from your actual sales.
Pricing
Two levels. One flat price.
Every level includes the workspace, the Monday brief, and a named engineer. Founding rates are locked for the life of the engagement and limited to the first 5 restaurants per level. 12-month term, never an hourly invoice.

The fine print, up front
Every promise, line by line.
This is the actual service agreement, not marketing copy. Every line is tracked in your workspace, and you can check how we're doing against it at any time.
The agreement
Both levels
| What we promise | Connected | Automated |
|---|---|---|
| You hear back within | Next business day | Same business day |
| Problem found → you’re told within | Next business day | Same business day |
| Actions that work | 95%+ (data ingestion and brief delivery) | 95%+ (data ingestion, brief delivery, and guest outreach actions) |
| Duplicate records | Zero duplicate sales records | Zero duplicate sales or guest records |
| Records double-checked | Quarterly | Monthly |
| Monthly report delivered | By 5th business day | By 5th business day |
| What-the-assistant-did report | Not included | By 5th business day |
| Review call with your engineer | Monthly | Monthly |
| Named engineer | Assigned | Assigned |
| How you reach us | Email and phone |
Miss a line, and 10% comes off that month’s bill, up to 30% in a single month. It is applied automatically, without you having to argue for it.
The workspace
One login. Every number that matters.
Behind the Monday brief sits a live workspace. Each view carries an honest as-of timestamp. A module that is not connected yet is absent, not faked.
Sales
Last night versus the same weekday, plus this week’s totals, average check, and channel and payment mix.
Menu
Every item plotted by how often it sells and the margin it carries: stars, plowhorses, puzzles, and dogs, with what to promote, reprice, or cut.
Labor
Labor cost against target, nightly, next to the sales each shift produced — when payroll is connected.
Reservations
Tonight’s covers, hour-by-hour pacing, and a Higher/Watch watchlist by party size and time. No guest names or phones.
Books
P&L versus budget when accounting is connected. The tab is absent, not faked, until that source is live.
What's covered
What counts as “one of your systems”
Anything we log into, keep working, and watch for you. If your POS or reservation system only exports CSVs, you send the file and Atlas ingests it. Switching systems is never a prerequisite.
Counts as one system
- KwickPOS or Square
- TableAgent
- Xero
- Gusto
Does not count
- Your own website, because website care already covers it
- The workspace and Monday brief; they come with every level
- Anything we look at once during setup and never watch again
Need a website too? Builds are scoped as onboarding projects with written pricing and never get quietly absorbed into your monthly plan.
FAQ
Common questions
Do I have to switch my POS?
No. We work with what you run today. If your POS has an API, we connect it. If it only does CSV exports, like KwickPOS or TableAgent, you send us the export and we handle the rest; your numbers still land in your workspace. Switching systems is never a prerequisite.
What actually shows up every morning?
A live board: last night versus the same weekday, labor this week versus target when payroll is connected, and tonight’s book with pacing and risk bands. Every Monday your engineer writes a brief with the one thing worth doing next. Behind that sits Performance: sales, menu engineering, and only the other tabs whose systems are actually connected.
What is menu engineering?
Every item on your menu, ranked by how often it sells and how much margin it carries, then sorted into four buckets: stars, plowhorses, puzzles, and dogs. It tells you what to promote, what to reprice, what to feature, and what to cut. Most operators have never seen their menu this way.
What if I do not have payroll or books connected yet?
Those modules stay off the workspace until the matching system is connected. You still get sales, menu, and reservations from POS and the reservation book, plus the Monday brief. Labor and P&L appear with honest as-of timestamps once Gusto or Xero is live — never as a placeholder number.
Do you show guest names or phone numbers?
No. The watchlist is party size, seating time, and a Higher or Watch band. Atlas does not display guest identity, contact details, or a calibrated no-show probability in the restaurant workspace.
What happens if you miss a promise?
Response times and delivery dates are written into your agreement and tracked in your workspace. If we miss one, you get 10% of that month’s fee off your next bill, applied automatically, up to 30% in a single month. You never have to ask.
Is my sales data safe?
Your data lives in your own isolated workspace. Credentials are stored sealed, never shared across clients, and access can be withdrawn any time. We do not sell or share your numbers, and nothing about your restaurant is used to benchmark competitors.
What are the terms?
12 months to start, then month-to-month. You pay monthly in advance; the first month plus the onboarding fee are due when you sign. Founding rates are locked for the life of the engagement and limited to the first five restaurants per level.

One short call. Bring a sales export if you want; we'll show you the workspace, tell you which level fits, and put every promise in writing before you sign anything.
