SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Daily Pulse helps small shop and restaurant owners stop flying blind by generating a fast, trustworthy daily business snapshot that highlights what changed since target and recent history.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Daily flash P&L snapshot: Produces a structured report including sales, covers/transactions, average check/ticket, labor cost %, and COGS %.
  • Anomaly detection with actionable alerts: Flags critical and warning conditions (e.g., sales below target, labor or COGS outside thresholds) and ties them to specific next actions.
  • Trend context (7-day + MTD): Adds rolling week movement and month-to-date vs budget/projection so the owner can decide what to do today.

Quick Start

Ask the AI: "How did we do yesterday, and what are the red flags and action items for today?"
