Twenty restaurants. Three need you.
A chain owner’s first question isn’t “how much did we do” — it’s which restaurant needs me today. Syphor names them before 7:00, every morning, across every location you run and whatever POS each one happens to have.
Any bar that stops short of its own copper mark is worth a phone call — the mark is where that restaurant normally lands on a Friday, and it is its own, not the group’s. Open a whole morning to see what one of these opens into.
Demonstration data. An invented group of twenty restaurants. The measures, the comparisons and the way each restaurant is ranked against its own normal are the ones the product returns.
Your best and your worst
are the same size.
They are not the same business.
A single store asks how it did. A group has a bigger question underneath: why does one restaurant run at 27.1% labor while a restaurant the same size runs 30.8% — and what is that difference worth over a year? That gap is already in your timecards. Nobody reads it, because reading it means comparing twenty restaurants every week.
Phoenix
184 guests, $5,300, tickets at 12.6 minutes. The GM cuts a closer at 9 when the book is thin. It has worked for eleven weeks.
Dallas
196 guests, $5,500, tickets at 18.2 minutes. Nobody flagged it, because Dallas had a good sales night.
OF THE SAME SIZE
AT ONE RESTAURANT DOING $1.45M
OVER THEIR OWN TARGET
Syphor will not promise you’ll close that gap — some of it is the space, the competition and the shift. What it promises is that you see it every Monday, named, in dollars, until somebody does something about it. Flip the chart above to LABOR and the whole picture rearranges: three of your best restaurants on sales are among your worst on cost.
Six on one POS. Ten on another.
Four on a third. One brief.
Groups don’t grow tidily. You bought two restaurants that came with somebody else’s system, you opened three on the system your first GM liked, and now nobody can see the group as one thing without a spreadsheet and a Tuesday. Syphor reads each restaurant on whatever it already runs. Nothing gets replaced, nothing gets standardized, and no restaurant has to wait for the others. Nor does its trial. Each restaurant’s own thirty days start at its own first brief, so a restaurant still waiting on its point of sale is not burning anybody else’s. Corporate starts when the fifth is live.
Nothing gets ripped out
Every restaurant keeps the POS it has, the menu it has and the staff it trained. Syphor reads; it never writes. Your restaurants cannot tell it is there.
Restaurant 21 is a form, not a project
Adding a location means telling us what it runs. We connect it, load its history — as far back as its point of sale kept, and its first brief lands the next morning — already inside the group view.
One language across all of them
A cover is a cover, a void is a void, labor is labor — whichever system it came off. That is the part nobody wants to build twice, and the reason a mixed group can be read at all.
Your smallest restaurant isn’t last every morning.
Rank twenty restaurants by size and the biggest wins every day, the smallest loses every day, and by week two nobody reads it — least of all the manager who was never going to win. Syphor ranks every restaurant against its own normal, so a 90-seat café beating itself by 8% outranks a flagship that slipped 3%. The raw ranking still exists; it lands weekly at corporate, where it belongs.
Corporate gets the group.
Everyone else gets their own.
A group tool that only corporate reads is a group tool nobody acts on. Every person you add gets the same brief, scoped to what they run and written in the language of their job — and you are never charged per person.
The owner
All twenty restaurants, the three that need attention named at the top, and the money line across the group. The chart on this page is their front page.
Regional / DO
Only their restaurants, ranked the same way — so a director with six sees six, not twenty, and can’t hide behind the group average.
The GM
Their restaurant only: last night, tonight’s book, who’s on, what to fix by 4pm. They see their own open questions before you ask them.
The chef
Ticket times, what sold, what died on the pass, and where they sit against the other kitchens in the group.
Finance / the bookkeeper
Prime cost, labor against target by revenue center, and the month against last month — across every location, in one number.
One restaurant learns.
They all learn.
Every Tuesday Syphor takes the last thirty days and compares your restaurants against each other — drinks, appetizers, desserts, average check, labor, voids and discounts. Anything more than 15% away from the group’s middle is flagged: ahead is one to copy, behind is one to fix. Thirty days, not last night — one good Friday is not a play.
It compares them to each other
Your restaurants against your own restaurants, and against nobody else’s. There is no industry average in this anywhere.
Thirty days, not one night
A single good Friday is weather, or a game, or luck. Thirty days is a habit, and a habit is the only thing worth copying.
What it is worth if the rest copy it
Every play carries the arithmetic behind it, and the page shows how the number was reached. It is not profit — sales the group did not take carry their own cost, and we say so on the play.
You decide what happens to it
A play is a thing to try, marked new, watching or adopted. Syphor never changes anything in your restaurants.
Do the multiplication.
We did it for you.
That’s the labor gap between two restaurants of the same size in the group above — one restaurant, one measure, one year. It is the same bar as everywhere else on this site: $6.54 a day, per restaurant. Twenty restaurants, one corporate page, and each of them has to find $6.54 a day. Thirty days to find out. If it finds nothing, you owe nothing.
You probably won’t close all of it. Close half of it at two restaurants and you land in the same place. Close none of it and you still paid $199 a restaurant to know it was there — which is the part you cannot do today.
No per-seat fees. Twenty GMs, five chefs, a bookkeeper and two directors cost exactly nothing extra. Thirty-day trial, card on file, nothing charged until day 31.
A group that grew while this was running. What Syphor found across Toasted was in the kitchen, not the sales.
