Introducing Sage — by MenuPulse

MenuPulse's AI engine
that learns your restaurant.

Most restaurant software — R365, MarginEdge — shows you data and leaves you to figure it out. MenuPulse built Sage to do the thinking: it reads your data, learns your patterns, and surfaces specific actions every morning.

🌿

Sage learns your restaurant

Every scan, every decision, every outcome — Sage remembers. After 90 days it knows your usage patterns, your pricing sensitivities, and which suggestions you actually act on. No other restaurant software does this.

📋

Sage briefs you every morning

At 4:00am, Sage delivers a prioritized daily brief — specific orders to place, prep to start, menu actions to take, and alerts to watch. Not a report. A plan. Built for this restaurant, today.

🎯

Sage gets smarter over time

When you action a suggestion, Sage tracks the outcome. When you skip something repeatedly, Sage stops suggesting it. The longer you use it, the more accurately it reflects how you actually run your operation.

Everything connected

Every part of your operation.
One system that thinks.

Each module feeds the others. Your reviews inform your menu. Your costs inform your pricing. Your forecast drives your orders.

⭐

Review Intelligence

Fetches 100 Google reviews automatically. Extracts dish mentions, sentiment themes, and service patterns. Generates response templates and tracks your score monthly.
Google MapsMonthly auto-pullResponse templates
💰

Menu Costing & Pour Cost

Upload your order guide, photograph your menu — AI extracts every dish and ingredient. Real food cost percentages, not estimates. Tracks prices over time as your distributor costs change — and pour cost by beverage category, so bar variance stops hiding inside food cost.

Menu Optimizer

Combines your cost data and review insights to generate a complete menu engineering strategy — repricing, name rewrites, star items, and what to cut. Exports a PDF report.

📈

Sales Forecast

Weighted moving average model builds a 14-day covers and revenue forecast. Add booked events and seasonal multipliers. Automatically flags when prep needs to scale up. Connect your POS to forecast from your own sales — without one the module runs in preview mode on sample data.

Inventory

Count inventory by location and category. Track par levels, count history, and variance reports. Auto-populated from your order guide — no manual data entry.

📊

Restaurant Analytics

P-mix analysis, menu engineering matrix, true food cost by volume — all powered by your Toast POS data. Server rankings, revenue opportunity, and underperformer alerts. Requires a connected POS; without one the module shows sample data in preview mode.

Scheduling

Build the week against your forecast, not last week's guess. Roles, rates, availability and daypart coverage, with staffing recommended from forecasted covers. Auto-fill the week, copy last week, publish when it's ready.
