Run a tighter shift — together. FlowState QSR brings your whole restaurant onto one screen: the schedule, the team chat, the checklists, the numbers, and an AI copilot that actually knows how your store runs. Set up your store in minutes, add your crew, and every shift gets easier from there. BUILT FOR THE PACE OF QUICK SERVICE Scheduling that writes itself Build the week by hand or let the AI autoscheduler draft it from everyone's availability, then publish in a tap. Crew see their shifts, request changes, and get reminders — no more paper on the wall. One place to talk Channels, direct messages, announcements, and shout-outs keep the whole team in sync — with reactions, read receipts, and a shift channel that resets every day. Run the shift A live crew hub shows what's happening right now: who's on, what's next, and what needs attention. Checklists, opening and closing routines, and a knowledge base put the right answer in every hand. See the numbers that matter Track waste in real dollars, watch labor against your plan, log car counts, and spot trends before they cost you. Owners get a multi-store rollup across every location. Stay compliant, automatically Labor Shield flags minor-labor and break-rule issues before they happen. Certifications, discipline, and feedback all live in one auditable place. Truck Day, on rails Point your phone at the delivery invoice and the AI sorts every line into the right category, flags shorts and damage, and drops unit costs straight onto your waste list. An AI copilot that knows your store Ask a question, draft a message, or get a read on the day — the assistant works from your store's own playbook, not generic advice. WHO IT'S FOR Owners, operators, general managers, shift leaders, and crew at quick-service and fast-casual restaurants — a single store or a whole portfolio. Owner, leader, and team-member views each show exactly what that person needs, and keep sensitive data (wages, dates of birth, discipline) private to leadership.
