A restaurant dashboard that runs itself
A restaurant dashboard that runs itself collects sales, covers, labor, reservations, reviews and event inquiries into one page that refreshes each morning. It shows the owner what happened last night and what needs a decision today. It is built on your own accounts, so the data stays yours.
Talk through your restaurant with the person who builds it
A free 30-minute call. You leave knowing which part of your restaurant to hand to AI first, what we would build, and roughly how long it takes.
One page for the morning
Open it before the first delivery arrives. Last night’s sales against the same weekday, labor against sales, no-shows, and anything flagged in new reviews are all in one place. No logging into five tools.
It can also compare like with like. A Tuesday means little against a Saturday, but this Tuesday against the last six Tuesdays shows whether the new menu or the patio opening changed anything.
A list of people, not just numbers
The same system can keep a list of regulars, event leads and press contacts, with notes and the next step. A birthday dinner lead and a wine rep are in the same place with a reminder attached.
Built for how you run
A steakhouse and a ramen counter watch different things. Westward builds it around the numbers you already look at, then a person checks it against your real books before you rely on it.
Picture this
Examples of what it can look like. Illustrations, not clients.
Tuesday morning the page shows that covers were up on Saturday while labor stayed flat, and lists two new reviews to answer.
An event inquiry from last week still has no reply, so it sits at the top of your list.
A weekly email summarizes the numbers so a partner who is not on site can follow along.

Questions
Does it connect to my POS?
Often yes, but it depends on what your system allows. We check on the first call.
Who owns the data?
You do. The accounts stay yours.
How long does it take to build?
A first version takes about a month. You see it working on your own numbers before anything else is added.
