First duties

What Iris usually takes on first.

Split the tips and prepare payroll

Iris pulls the hours and card tips, splits the pool under your house rules and enters it in payroll. You see the totals and the cash needed, and nothing runs until you approve it.

Code every vendor invoice and track the credits

She reads each invoice that comes with the truck, codes the lines to food, beer, wine or liquor, and tracks the credits for shorts. Bills wait for your okay before they're paid.

Flag supplier price changes

She compares each new invoice price with the last one and tells you which menu items it changes.

Dispute the delivery-app error charges

Each week she gathers the orders charged back as missing or wrong and files each dispute with the order record.

The work

What keeps a restaurant's office busy.

Error charges disputed one order at a time. Every week someone signs in to each delivery app and disputes the orders charged back as missing or wrong. Many owners give up and eat the charges.
Daily sales matched to four deposits. The register report is matched against the card batches, the cash deposit and each app's payout, which land on different days. Anything that never arrives is easy to miss.
Tips split by points every pay period. Someone pulls together hours, card tips and declared cash tips, splits the pool by points and types the totals into payroll. A manager can lose a full shift to it each week.
Vendor invoices keyed line by line. Paper invoices arrive with the truck, marked with shorts and credits, and each line is keyed into the books as food, beer, wine or liquor. Credits owed are forgotten once the invoice is filed.

Unlike the general-purpose AI employee bots on the market, Iris works in the software a restaurant's office already uses. How we're different
