Work

Every engagement, live and operating.

Each one is running in a real operator’s environment against real data, paying rent in hours saved or clearer decisions. Client names are anonymized on request.

01MULTI-VENUE HOSPITALITY GROUP

27 venues, five vendors, one platform.

A multi-concept hospitality group running restaurants, bars, and event spaces across a metropolitan portfolio. Five subscription platforms, three POS systems, two schedulers, and a spreadsheet holding it all together.

BEFORE
  • Separate websites on Squarespace & WordPress
  • Staff records duplicated across 7shifts + POS
  • CRM in three different tools
  • Compliance tracked in Google Sheets
  • POS data never aggregated group-wide
AFTER
  • One site builder, 27 venue sub-sites, shared CMS
  • Unified employee directory with POS sync
  • Group CRM + per-venue events & proposals
  • Compliance dashboard across all accounts
  • POS → BigQuery pipelines, group-wide reporting

02INDEPENDENT OPERATOR

Custom forecasting on top of POS.

A single-location operator whose scheduler was a spreadsheet and whose labor budget was a best-guess. They wanted a forecast they could defend — and one the team would actually open on Monday morning.

BEFORE
  • Manual schedule each week from gut + last week
  • No weather, event, or seasonality inputs
  • Labor cost drift caught only at period-close
  • No guardrails on over/under-scheduling
AFTER
  • Forecasts built from 2+ years of POS sales history
  • Weather, local events, and seasonality in the model
  • Labor suggestion overlaid on the scheduler
  • Variance report auto-emailed each Monday

03REGIONAL RESTAURANT GROUP

Compliance & reviews, consolidated.

A regional group with food-service certifications expiring quietly, and a reputation management subscription that was sending noise but no action. We rebuilt both workflows on the platform’s existing rails.

BEFORE
  • Certs tracked in a binder, then a PDF, then nothing
  • Reviews in Birdeye, responses in three mailboxes
  • No one owned either process end-to-end
AFTER
  • Cert tracker with expiry alerts to managers
  • Review ingestion + drafted responses in one queue
  • Group-level compliance + sentiment dashboards

What carries across

The shape of a good engagement.

5→1
VENDORS CONSOLIDATED

Typical group folds a handful of subscription tools into Foundation plus the integrations already working.

2–4
WEEK PILOT

First pilot ships in two to four weeks with real data in the operator’s environment.

0
VENDORS RIPPED OUT

Existing POS, payroll, and payment tools stay where they are. Foundation plugs in through standardized adapters.

100%
OPERATED END-TO-END

Every engagement includes ongoing monitoring, roadmap, and on-call. We operate the software after it ships.

Running on more tools than you should?

One call. We’ll look at what you’re running, tell you what Foundation covers out of the box, and what a custom build would look like on top.
