The AI business manager for multi-unit operators

Your P&L, read every morning. Before the day starts.

Co-GM connects to the systems your venues already run on, diagnoses what actually happened, and hands each operator a short brief: what happened yesterday, what to do today, and the dollars at stake.

Works with the tools you already use. No new dashboard to check.

Your three things today
1
Cut 5 hours tonight — schedule is over forecast demand; two staff already in OT.
2
Brief the captain on the 6pm party — upsell levers worth $1.3–2.0K.
3
Reconcile the vendor credit — item billed, never delivered.
The problem

Financial performance has always been a rearview exercise.

Month-end close. Quarterly reviews. Post-mortems weeks after the period ended. By the time the patterns surface, the chance to act is gone with them. Great operators end up reacting instead of deciding — and the leaks that never hit a report never get fixed.

How it works

Read up. Surface early. Act on the floor.

One engine reads every system a venue runs on and turns it into a decision, delivered at the altitude each role actually works at.

Connect the systems

POS, labor and scheduling, accounting and the GL, vendor invoices, ordering, the event book, brand-standards photos. Co-GM reads what's already there.

Diagnose the day

It finds what moved and why — the labor leak, the mix shift, the missed vendor credit, the forecast about to slip — and separates signal from noise.

Deliver the brief

Each morning, the right person gets what happened, what to do today, and the dollars at stake. The action lands on the floor, where outcomes are made.

One engine, every altitude

The store gets a co-pilot. Everyone above gets the rollup.

Same data, same engine, surfaced at the right altitude for each role — so leadership sees the real-time picture instead of last month's deck.

What it watches

The leaks the period close can't see.

Co-GM watches the lines where multi-unit operators quietly lose money — and flags them in the morning brief, not the post-mortem.

⏱️

Labor vs. demand

Hours by role against the revenue that drives them, flagged inside the shift, not at close.

📦

Ordering & COGS

Par levels, waste, and price creep — surfaced the moment a vendor increase hits an invoice.

🧾

Vendor credits

Every delivery matched to its invoice. Missing items, breakage, and errors caught at receiving.

📈

Revenue & forecast

Daily pace vs. budget by category, with the mix shifts that hide inside a healthy topline.

Brand standards

Peak-time photos scored against the brand book, visible from the floor to the exec team.

🛠️

Equipment & facilities

Drift and wear caught early, with the quiet window to fix it staged into the brief.

Who it's for

Built for operators who run real businesses.

The talent pipeline in hospitality and franchising produces great operators, not always great business leaders. Co-GM closes that gap.

Experiential hospitality

Multi-venue groups

Events, bar, and floor across a portfolio — where the event book and labor mix decide the month.

Franchise F&B

Bakery-café & QSR

Fresh-baked perishables, a shared cake board, brand standards, and daily production tuned to sell-through.

Multi-unit owners

Franchisees & operators

A portfolio to run with one brief — comp, labor, catering pipeline, and loyalty, store by store.
