SpotOn debuts new proactive AI profit solution

In case you missed it last week, SpotOn announced Profit AI, a tool that uses AI to analyze various data (POS sales, employee scheduling, P&L, etc) along with external signals like weather, to proactively serve up insights for restaurant operators on profit opportunities.

It differs from other AI solutions out there like Square’s Managerbot and ToastIQ in that it’s not dependent on an owner or operator to know what to ask. Rather, it runs in the background and serves up proactive insights on the most impactful decisions you can make for your restaurant’s bottom line right from your SpotOn dashboard. For example, Breakfast Brothers restaurant in Dallas increased beverage spend by 5% after Profit AI made a specific recommendation to add single-serve mimosas to their menu alongside pitchers.  

This launch expands on SpotOn’s other AI and machine-learning offerings, including Profit Assist, Marketing Assist, and AI menu editor. It’s exciting to see it all come together in one place in a very practical way that actually helps operators and their teams.

Profit AI is still in closed beta while the company solicits real-life feedback from users. If you’re one of the beta users, I’d love to hear what you think.
