Journal for independent restaurants and catering teams

Every workflow keeps human approval in place: a person confirms every table, catering quote, and deposit request.
Put Mia, Cody, and Nora to work with your manager in charge
In the Restaurant workspace, we set up Mia to handle the front desk and phone line, Cody to draft catering quotes from your menu notes, and Nora to draft deposit reminders. Nothing goes out until your manager approves it. Read the sample workday in A lunch for 40 guests on Friday. Because every kitchen runs catering deposits, reservations, and shift handoffs differently, multi-employee custom workflows belong to Custom Build or Enterprise, while the Pilot includes one AI employee with one preset skill.
