Rostering, ordering, and reporting, all automated.

The business

AU79 Cafe operates multiple locations with a management team responsible for daily operations. Each manager was spending the first two hours of every shift on admin: checking the previous day's sales report, placing stock orders, sending out the day's roster to staff, and reviewing labour costs.

The tools were all in place: a till system, a scheduling platform, and a supplier ordering portal. But none of them talked to each other.

The problem

Every morning, each site manager was manually:

• •Pulling sales numbers from the till and building a daily report in a spreadsheet
• •Comparing stock levels (estimated) against sales and creating manual purchase orders
• •Sending the day's roster to staff individually via text or email
• •Compiling a weekly labour vs. revenue summary for head office

With three managers across multiple locations, this was 6+ hours of combined admin per day.

What we built

The result

From week one after launch, managers consistently reported saving their first 2 hours of each shift. The morning reporting workflow alone eliminated 45 minutes per manager per day.

Head office noted that the weekly labour summary became more accurate immediately. Small errors in manual compilation used to be common, and the automated version pulls directly from source data.
