The Restaurant Daily Brief

The Daily Brief is an AI-generated summary that appears on your restaurant hub each morning. It analyses yesterday's trading data and produces a plain-English report covering revenue vs target, covers served, average ticket, best-selling dishes, waste costs, and a single recommended action for today. It is generated automatically — you do not need to request it.

The brief generates automatically at 23:30 each night, based on the full day's trading data. When you open the restaurant hub the following morning, the brief is ready. If you open the hub before 23:30, you will see the previous day's brief. You can also force a regeneration at any time using the refresh button on the brief card.

The brief includes a health score (0–100) based on performance against your targets, a three-column summary grid (Revenue, Covers, Avg Ticket), an AI-written paragraph identifying what drove performance and what to watch, and a single recommended action. The health score ring colour changes with performance — green for strong days, amber for average, red for days that need attention.

Alongside the brief, anomaly chips flag unusual patterns detected in yesterday's data. These might be a dish that sold unusually poorly, a waste cost spike, an unexpected revenue drop in a specific service period, or a staffing cost that looks high relative to covers. Each chip is colour-coded by severity (critical, warning, info) and can be dismissed once actioned.

Read the brief before morning briefing with your team. The recommended action gives you one concrete thing to focus on — whether that is adjusting a price, 86-ing a slow dish, or reviewing a staff rota. The brief does not replace your judgement — it gives you the data to inform it faster. Over time, acting on brief recommendations moves your health score upward.
