Get the intelligence layer your POS was never designed to provide
Bagel connects to your existing Square, Toast, or Lightspeed and surfaces the root cause behind every cost problem — then acts on it. 90 days, no commitment.
What Early Access includes
90 days of full access, direct founder relationship, and a locked-in rate when you convert.
90 Days, Zero Risk
Full access to the Bagel operating layer at no cost. If it does not change how you see your margins, walk away.
Founder Access
Work directly with the Bagel founding team. Your operation shapes which integrations and features we build next.
Priority Onboarding
We handle the connection to your Square, Toast, or Lightspeed. Most restaurants are live within a week.
Founding-Member Pricing
Early Access members lock in rates significantly below standard pricing for the lifetime of their account.
The AI operating layer for your restaurant
Bagel connects to your existing Square, Toast, or Lightspeed. No POS replacement. No hardware. No menu rebuilds. Just intelligence on top of what you already have.
Cross-system visibility
Your POS, labor data, inventory, and supplier history — connected in one place. Real-time prime cost, not month-end surprises.
Root cause, automatically
Bagel tells you which SKU, which vendor, which shift is behind every cost variance. Not just that margins moved — why.
Agentic execution
Invoice discrepancies get flagged. Schedules get adjusted. Vendors get contacted. Bagel closes the loop without you opening another app.
How it works
Apply
Tell us about your operation — your POS, number of locations, and the margin problems that cost you the most.
Connect
We link Bagel to your existing Square, Toast, or Lightspeed. No hardware installation, no menu rebuild. Most restaurants are live within a week.
Collaborate
Work directly with our team to validate what Bagel surfaces against your real numbers. Your feedback shapes what we build next.
Operate
Keep running Bagel alongside your current POS with full visibility into margins, labor, and cost variance — and a locked-in rate when the trial ends.
Who we're looking for
We keep Early Access small so every participant gets real access to our team and a meaningful voice in what we build.
- Running Square, Toast, or Lightspeed (single location or multi-unit)
- Spending time each week manually reconciling food cost or labor variance
- Want real-time margin visibility — not a monthly P&L that's already outdated
- Willing to share honest feedback every few weeks with our team
- Open to a genuine build-alongside partnership, not just a trial
You keep everything you have.
Bagel does not replace your POS, your scheduling tool, or your inventory system. It connects to them and adds the intelligence layer on top. Early Access members validate that this works on their real operation — and help us prioritize the integrations and features that matter most.
