One system forthe whole franchise
A multi-store operations platform — head office, stores and staff on one system: scheduling, HR, checklists, recipe costing, supplier invoices, inventory, ordering and reports. Designed, built and run by AIO.

Example numbers from the demo brand shown on this page — not a client’s.
Multi-store operators run on a patchwork: a scheduling app, the POS, spreadsheets for recipe costs, paper checklists, group chats — and an accountant who sees the numbers a month late.
- 01Food cost is a guess until month-end
- 02Every store opens and closes its own way
- 03Supplier price changes are noticed months later
- 04Schedules are written without sales in mind
What we built
Schedules against expected sales
Hours, labour cost, forecast sales and coverage gaps sit above the board while the manager plans — and a draft can be filled automatically.
A phone app for staff
Each person sees their shift, what needs them now and the announcements to confirm — no group chat to scroll through.
Every menu item costed
Recipes built from real invoice prices, by size, with a loss allowance — so food cost is known before month-end.
Invoices read, price changes flagged
AI reads supplier invoices; only the lines whose price changed wait for a person to keep or apply.
A tablet on the store wall
Opening and closing lists, temperatures, counts and deliveries — done on the tablet with a PIN, with photos where it matters.
