Marc isn't a chatbot. He's your ops manager.
Every other AI tool in restaurants wants you to ask the right question. Marc watches the numbers overnight, drafts what needs doing, and waits for your tap, like a strong #2 who got there before you did.

Chat & drafted actions
Good evening. I've drafted 3 actions for your review and flagged 1 cost issue. Here's what I've been working on.
I reviewed service prep and noticed ribeye food cost trending above target for 6 days. I can pull a vendor comparison when you're ready.
Yes pull the comparison, and what's driving the chicken shortage?
Chicken shortage tracks to par vs. actual covers; I attached the ribeye quote below.

Purchase order
30 lb @ $18.20/lb vs Sysco $20.60/lb — saves ~$72 on this order.
Answers are easy. Action is the hard part.
Dashboards tell you something moved. Marc proposes the move: the PO revision, the prep pull-back, the note to the line about the fish plate, the Redbook entry the closing manager never typed. You stay the decision-maker. Marc carries the clipboard.
