Expressway AI is the mobile app for Expressway, the inventory, scheduling and analytics platform restaurant operators have relied on since 1987. It is built for the people who run the stores, from the GM counting the walk-in to the multi-unit operator checking every store between visits. An Expressway account is required. Your company sets up your login and decides which stores and tools you can use. COUNT WHERE THE INVENTORY IS • Counts organized by storage area, in the order you actually walk • Works with no signal in the walk-in and syncs when you are back in range • Decimal quantities everywhere, because half a case is half a case • Every count lands in the same cycle as the office, with nothing to re-key KNOW YOUR NUMBERS • Sales and labor for every store, for yesterday, the week and the period • Compare against the same days last year, or any period you choose • Analyze: pick the metrics and see them by hour or by daypart • Insights and alerts that land in front of the person who can act on them SCHEDULING • The week's schedule, shifts and coverage for your stores • Your team and their roles, store by store • Time-off and shift trade requests, and announcements to the team ONE SET OF NUMBERS The app runs on the same data as Expressway on the web, so the phone and the office never disagree. Every change records who made it and when. Need an account or have a question? Visit expressway.ai.
