The Bagel Platform
Your POS records transactions.
Bagel turns them into decisions.
Bagel connects to your existing Square, Toast, or Lightspeed and layers intelligence on top — linking your POS to inventory, labor, and supplier data so you always know where your margins are and what to do about it.
Connects to the POS you already use
No hardware. No menu rebuild. No POS migration. Bagel reads from your existing system and adds the intelligence layer on top.
Cross-system visibility in one place
Your POS sees sales. Your scheduling app sees labor. Your supplier portal sees orders. None of them talk to each other — which means you never have a complete picture when you need one.
Bagel connects all of them and shows you the full operational picture: sales, labor, food cost, and inventory variance — updated continuously, not at month-end.
- Real-time prime cost — food and labor combined, updated throughout the day
- Sales-to-labor ratio by shift, not just by week
- Inventory movement linked to recipe usage and POS sales
- Vendor order history and price drift over time
- Multi-location view with per-site drill-down

"Why did food cost jump 2.1% this week?"
Bagel
Beef tenderloin received at $28.40/lb against a contracted rate of $24.00/lb. 3 invoices affected. Suggests a pricing error or contract breach — recommend contacting Sysco before next order.
"What's driving the overtime risk on Friday?"
Bagel
Two servers are at 36 hours with Friday and Saturday shifts unassigned. At current pace, both hit overtime before close. Flagging now so you can adjust the schedule or reassign.
Root cause, not just the number
Most dashboards tell you that food cost is up. Bagel tells you which SKU, which vendor, which invoice, and what to do about it before the period closes.
Because Bagel connects your POS to your inventory, labor, and supplier data simultaneously, it can surface root causes that no single-system tool can reach.
- Variance flagged at the invoice level, not just the category level
- Labor drift traced to specific shifts, not just weekly totals
- Menu item profitability updated as ingredient costs change
- Anomaly alerts before they become P&L surprises
Agentic execution without switching apps
When Bagel surfaces a problem, it can resolve it — without you opening three more apps. Invoice discrepancies get flagged for review. Schedules get adjusted before overtime triggers. Vendors get contacted when pricing drifts.
Not automation for automation's sake. Agentic execution for the operational tasks that consume the most time and carry the most financial risk.
- Invoice review and discrepancy flagging with suggested resolution
- Schedule optimization based on forecasted demand and labor targets
- Automatic vendor communication when pricing falls outside contract
- Waste log reconciliation against theoretical usage
- Shift coverage alerts before gaps become a problem
Invoice price discrepancy
Beef tenderloin billed at $28.40/lb vs. contracted $24.00/lb. Flagged for review and draft dispute email prepared.
Overtime risk mitigated
Reassigned Friday PM shift from Maria (36h) to Jordan (28h). Labor projection now under target.
Salmon cost drift
Atlantic salmon up 8.2% vs. 30-day average. Watching for a second week before triggering vendor outreach.
What Bagel is not
Bagel does not replace your POS. It does not ask you to retrain your staff or reinstall hardware. It connects alongside what you already have and makes it smarter.
Not a POS replacement
Keep your Square, Toast, or Lightspeed. Bagel reads from it — it does not compete with it.
Not another dashboard
Bagel surfaces root causes and takes action. It is not a reporting tool that makes you do the work.
Not a long integration project
Most restaurants are connected and live within 1-2 weeks. No hardware, no rebuilds.
