Intelligence Operating System for Multi-Unit Restaurants
One Ontology. One Truth.
Ontology, plainly: one shared definition of every menu item, labor hour, and location — the same facts everywhere your data lives.
LAB Platform unifies POS, accounting, labor, inventory, and reservations into a single governed model — so your AI and your dashboards never disagree, and your GMs get the next move before the shift starts, not a report after the quarter ends.
- Now in active pilot with a premium multi-unit dining group under a signed Letter of Intent — a 3-to-15 location expansion path already underway.
Protect Margin
Catch food, beverage, and labor cost drift before it erodes the P&L — not after the month closes.
Grow Topline
Turn reservation and demand signals into staffing and menu moves your GMs can act on same-shift.
Compounding IP
Every location that comes online makes the model sharper — a moat that grows with your footprint.
How It Works
Data in. Decisions out.
One integrated system, three layers — each built on the one beneath it. Raw operational data enters the foundation and leaves the top as the next move.
LAYER 01
Data Foundation
LAB Convergence™
One truth, many systems — the governed data spine everything above runs on.
Input
POS, accounting, labor, inventory, and reservations — across every location.
Function
Reconciles fragmented systems into one normalized, governed model.
Output
A single source of truth — one ontology the whole platform shares.
LAYER 02
Applied AI
LAB Intelligence™
Your IP, your intelligence, inside your operation — a company-specific model trained on your proprietary data.
Input
The unified data spine, plus your operating context and history.
Function
Reasons over your data in your own operational language.
Output
Forecasts, anomaly flags, and answers — not generic model guesses.
LAYER 03
Decision layer
LAB Visualize™
Your line of sight into the operation — enterprise-grade analytics engineered into live views built for decisions, not reports.
Input
The intelligence layer’s forecasts, flags, and answers.
Function
Turns them into live operational views built to drive action.
Output
The next move — before the shift starts, in the GM’s hands.
- Closing the Loop — Next
Visualize is built to extend from views into action: approvable, auditable write-backs to scheduling, ordering, and pricing systems — so the next move doesn’t just get surfaced, it gets executed under GM sign-off.
Governed by Design
Security isn’t a fourth layer bolted on top — it’s woven through Convergence, Intelligence, and Visualize alike, for every human and every AI agent that touches your data.
Role-Based Access
Every user — human or AI — is scoped to exactly the locations and data they’re cleared to see.
Full Audit Trail
Every forecast, view, and write-back is logged and traceable — by user, by system, by moment.
Your Data, Your Control
Financials and labor data live in a governed environment you control — not a shared black box.
Sample Snapshot
LAB Index™
What you receive, every week — six KPIs, your property indexed against an anonymous curated comp set. Board-ready. Every Wednesday.
What It Is
The benchmark the industry has been missing.
LAB Index™ delivers weekly anonymous comp-set benchmarking across six core KPIs — indexed against a curated peer set so you know exactly where your property stands in the market, not just against last year. Modeled after the institutional benchmarking infrastructure lodging has had for decades. Built for restaurants, nightlife, and hotel F&B. Until now, this didn’t exist.
Core KPIs
Six metrics. One market position.
01
RevPASH ★
Revenue Per Available Seat Hour — the primary efficiency metric.
02
Spend
What a guest spends on average per visit — your check position relative to the comp set.
03
Prime Cost %
Combined food, beverage, and labor — your cost structure in context.
04
Market Penetration
Your share of covers in the competitive market.
05
CPLH
Covers Per Labor Hour — the productivity multiplier that drives margin.
06
Covers
Total guests served on a weekly basis — your volume position relative to the comp set.
★ RevPASH is the cornerstone metric. Every other KPI is read in relation to it.
