The restaurant operating system

Restaurants already have the data. Owners need the answer.

OPSAVOR is building the operating system for independent and small multi-unit restaurant owners: one place for the schedule, orders, invoices, payroll, cash and sales, with Savy and the owner’s decision queue at the center.

Savy is software. It drafts and explains; a person decides.

The interactive demo uses fictional restaurants and sample data. It does not connect to any real business or move money.

Ask Savy

Middletown Oyster Bar · sample restaurant

Am I meeting my goals?

Labor last week: 28.4% of sales against your 30% goal. On track, 1.6 points below, with the payroll review still open. This week’s schedule plans $3,558.00 of wages against a $4,200.00 budget: $642.00 under, with 1 open shift not yet costed.

Full answer in the demo

Answers come from the demo’s sample records, not a live AI. Your own question opens in the demo.

Why it matters

Thin margins leave no room for surprises.

The answers an owner needs are spread across the POS, payroll, supplier email, the bank and spreadsheets. By the time the picture comes together, the overpaid invoice, the missed credit or the labor overrun has already cost money.

Four questions

Everything in OPSAVOR answers one of four questions.

In dollars and dates, for the selected restaurant, with the evidence one tap away.

What am I spending?

Planned wages, open supplier orders and bills due, each on its own basis, so an order never looks like a payment.

  • Schedule
  • Ordering
  • Cash
See it in the demo

Am I meeting my goals?

Sales, labor, food cost and cash against the targets the owner sets. Anything not yet known stays unknown instead of looking good.

  • Daily Pulse
  • Monday briefing
See it in the demo

What needs my attention?

One decision queue gathers what needs the owner from every part of the restaurant, each with its reason, amount and the person responsible.

  • Approval Inbox
  • Daily Pulse
See it in the demo

What should I do next?

Savy names the most urgent decision and opens the exact record, so the owner acts instead of searching.

Three tiers, one core

Every restaurant starts with OPSAVOR Core. Books and Finance build on it. See the plans below. Each tier arrives in stages; we agree on usable scope before billing starts.

OPSAVOR Core

The owner’s daily answers from their own records. Daily Pulse and the Monday briefing, one decision queue, invoices checked against what was ordered and what arrived, price changes flagged, credits followed until they are real, and the schedule priced against the owner’s labor goal, with a staff app that shows each person only their own shifts, requests and chats.

In the demo · sample data

OPSAVOR Books

Complete, reliable records and the financial back office: invoices, receiving, credits, sales-to-bank and payroll reconciliation, the inventory basis and the period close. A missing source stays a blocker.

OPSAVOR Finance

Built on Books: budgets, cash planning, affordability, contribution, break-even and location comparison. Plans and estimates never count as actual profit or bank cash.

The first 20 paying locations can lock in their founding rate for 12 months from activation—even if standard prices increase after launch. After the protected period, the then-current standard rate applies, with at least 60 days’ advance notice. Features above describe each plan’s intended scope; availability is confirmed before activation.

Support that fits your operation

Standard email and in-app support is included. Optional Priority Support is $99/month per organization for up to 3 locations, plus $25/month for each additional location. It includes priority handling, scheduled callbacks and one 30-minute admin coaching session each month.

Coverage: Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm Eastern, excluding published holidays. Initial response targets: 1 business day standard; 4 business hours Priority. These targets cover the initial response, not a fixed resolution time. Support is not available 24/7. Priority availability is confirmed at activation.

A clear path to activation

Implementation covers kickoff, users and permissions, supported data setup, sample imports, training and an agreed activation checklist. Pay 50% at kickoff and 50% when the checklist is complete. Additional work is $125/hour only with your written approval; product defect fixes do not consume setup hours.

For groups, standard subscription discounts are 5% for 3–5 locations, 10% for 6–10 and 15% for 11–15. Larger groups receive a quote. Discounts do not stack with founding rates; multi-location implementation is scoped separately.

What is separate from your subscription?

Taxes, third-party provider charges, messaging charges, custom integrations, hardware, historical data cleanup and managed accounting are separate. Payroll and tax filing, moving money and fractional CFO services are not included. No paid overage or extra work is added without your approval. Supported connections, available features and service terms are agreed in writing before activation.

Inside the product

Every screen starts with the answer.

Real screens from the interactive demo, running on a fictional restaurant.

Daily Pulse and Monday Executive Briefing

Start every day, and every week, with the answer.

Daily Pulse leads with the decision that matters most, then sales and labor against the owner’s goals. On Monday, the Executive Briefing explains last week and names what still needs checking before profit is final.

  • The most urgent decision first, with its reason and deadline
  • Sales and labor so far, compared with the goal
  • Every number opens its evidence
Daily Pulse in the OPSAVOR demo for a sample restaurant: Savy’s next action is the Harborline linen contract, with a notice deadline on Aug 29 and $45.00 a month above the original terms, followed by an invoice follow-up.

Team, scheduling, labor and payroll review

See what the schedule will cost before it goes out.

Planned wages are compared with the weekly budget and each department’s goal. A schedule over goal needs the owner’s approval, and payroll exceptions are decided before payroll is approved.

  • Wages, open shifts and overtime in one number
  • Department goals for servers, bar and kitchen
  • Every call-out shows the cost of each cover
The Schedule screen in the OPSAVOR demo: planned weekly labor cost of $3,558 against a $4,200 budget, with coverage incomplete because one open shift is not yet costed.

Purchasing, vendor ordering and inventory

Order with a limit, receive with a check.

The chef and bar manager prepare orders and the owner approves anything over a department’s limit. Deliveries are checked against what was ordered, and counts show what was used.

  • Orders over a department’s limit wait for the owner
  • Short deliveries become credit requests
  • Counts and waste explain ingredient usage
The Ordering screen in the OPSAVOR demo: $984.00 expected on five open vendor orders, with five orders needing review before sending.

Invoices, expenses and Books

Check invoices against deliveries before anyone pays.

Managers enter invoices and expenses; OPSAVOR checks them against deliveries and flags duplicates and price changes. Sales are matched to bank deposits, and the books close only when every source is reconciled.

  • Duplicate invoices flagged before payment
  • A supplier credit counts once, when it is confirmed
  • A close checklist names every missing source
Invoices & Expenses in the OPSAVOR demo: a received Valley Produce photo waiting to be checked, and a Prime Meats invoice that needs owner approval.

Finance and cash planning

See the cash gap before payday.

Cleared cash, expected deposits and bills due are laid out by date. Payment plans sit beside the forecast without rewriting it, and approving payroll never marks it paid.

  • Cleared cash kept separate from expected deposits
  • Payment planning beside an unchanged baseline
  • Thirteen weeks of cash ahead
Cash & Settlements, a concept workspace in the OPSAVOR demo: payroll of $14,500.00 is due Aug 19 and cleared cash is $2,500.00 short, with expected deposits not yet available.

How it works

Connect. Understand. Act.

From the systems a restaurant already runs, to one clear decision for the owner.

  1. Connect

    OPSAVOR is designed to read from the POS, time and payroll, supplier email, the bank and accounting with the owner’s permission, keeping the original document beside every number.

    Planned · the demo uses sample records
  2. Understand

    The intelligence core turns exceptions into decisions. Every number is labeled actual, scheduled, expected, estimated or unknown, and unknown never counts as zero.

    In the demo
  3. Act

    Managers do the work and the owner decides. Anything that reaches the outside world waits for a person to confirm, and OPSAVOR never moves money on its own.

    In the demo · outside actions simulated

Savy and the decision queue

One place decides what deserves the owner’s attention.

Every workspace feeds one decision queue. Each item carries its reason, its amount, the person responsible and one next step that opens the exact record. Savy explains it in plain language, with the period, the location and the basis of every number.

  • Answers stay within the selected restaurant
  • The proof behind every answer is one tap away
  • Says “not supplied” instead of guessing

How Savy works today: in the demo, Savy’s answers are generated by rules from the sample records. The production Savy is planned to answer from each restaurant’s connected records, with sources.

How Savy answers

Every answer shows its work.

Savy answers the owner’s four questions the same way every time, so the owner can check it in seconds.

  1. What changed

    The change, in plain words, for this restaurant and this period.

  2. Why it matters

    What it costs or saves against the owner’s own goal.

  3. What supports it

    The records behind it, one tap away, each marked recorded, estimated or missing.

  4. What to consider

    The options, with the consequence of each stated before anyone decides.

  5. Who approves

    A named person approves the exact version. Savy never posts, sends, orders or pays on its own.

  6. What happened after

    The outcome is recorded, so the next answer starts from what actually happened.

Notifications, yes. Every post, message, approval, order and payment waits for a person.

In the demo · sample data

The demo’s answers come from rules on sample records; the production Savy is in development.

Numbers an owner can trust

Every number says what it is.

Received, entered, matched, approved, sent, paid and settled stay separate, and every figure carries its basis.

  • Unknown is not zeroA missing cost or count keeps the result incomplete. It never earns a good score.
  • An order is not a paymentA sent order is a bill to come. Payment is a separate event with its own evidence.
  • A deposit slip is not a bank matchCash counts as banked only when a bank line matches it.
  • Approving payroll is not paying itPrepared, approved, submitted and settled stay separate.
  • A credit request is not money backIt counts once, when the supplier’s credit or a bank line matches it.
  • People confirm outside actionsOrders, schedules, payments and replies wait for a person. OPSAVOR never moves money on its own.

Current stage and roadmap

About OPSAVOR

Built from the other side of the restaurant table

A founder’s story. An owner’s perspective. A bigger vision.

OPSAVOR began with a question that came from working inside a restaurant: with so much information available, why was it still so hard for an owner to know what to do next?

For Joseph “Joey” Prifitera, that question was personal. His experience in his family’s restaurant business shaped the idea behind OPSAVOR. His father brought roughly three decades of restaurant experience, and Joey saw firsthand the work behind every service—the people, the decisions and the responsibility that continues long after the last guest leaves.

Watch Joey’s story2:24AI-presented. Joey’s words and experience.

He also saw the gap between having reports and understanding the business. Sales lived in one system. Payroll in another. Invoices, expenses and schedules added more pieces. The information existed, but bringing it together still fell on the owner, alongside everything else required to keep the restaurant running.

Joey began building OPSAVOR from that experience. He wanted a clearer answer to the questions an owner carries every day: What am I spending? Am I meeting my goals? What needs me? What should I do next?

From firsthand frustration to a company with purpose

The first step was making the idea tangible. Joey created an early product demonstration so the vision could be explored, questioned and improved. It gave the team something concrete to work toward and restaurant owners something they could react to.

That vision has grown beyond a single report. OPSAVOR is being built to bring daily performance, team and labor, purchasing, inventory, invoices, Books and Finance into a connected operating picture. Savy sits at its center, designed to explain what changed, show the evidence and help the owner identify the next decision.

The ambition is substantial. Earning trust starts with the details: making missing information visible, keeping estimates separate from confirmed facts and leaving important decisions in the hands of the people responsible for the business.

Built for the people carrying the responsibility

A restaurant represents more than its sales. It holds years of work, family commitments, employees’ livelihoods and the relationships built with the people who return to its tables.

Joey’s ambition is to give the people behind those businesses greater clarity and confidence. He wants owners to spend less time piecing together the past and more time deciding what comes next—with the information to support that decision.

Today, he leads OPSAVOR’s product vision, customer relationships, partnerships and growth, working with the team to turn an operator’s experience into a useful, dependable product. The interactive demo shows the direction through sample data; connected capabilities are being built and validated in stages.

The work ahead is to earn a place in the owner’s day, one useful answer and one better-informed decision at a time.

FAQ

Good questions, straight answers.

Anything else? Get in touch

Can my restaurant use OPSAVOR today?

Not yet. OPSAVOR is at the product-preview stage: the interactive demo shows how it works with fictional restaurants, and the production platform is in development. Restaurants interested in an early pilot can share feedback with us.

Is the demo running on a real restaurant’s data?

No. The demo uses three fictional restaurants and sample records. It does not connect to any real business, send messages or move money.

Does OPSAVOR replace my POS, payroll or accounting system?

No. OPSAVOR is designed to read from the systems a restaurant already runs and keep the original evidence beside every number. Payroll, payments and the accounting ledger stay where they are.

Is Savy an AI assistant?

In the demo, Savy’s answers are generated by rules from the same sample records the screens use. It is not a connected, live AI service. The production Savy is planned to answer from each restaurant’s permitted records, cite its sources and say when information is missing.

Does OPSAVOR send orders, run payroll or move money?

Not in the demo. Those actions are simulated there. In the product, anything that reaches the outside world waits for a person to confirm: OPSAVOR never moves money or runs payroll on its own, and any future payment step would need its own approval and authorized provider.

What does OPSAVOR cost?

Core is $149, Books $299 and Finance $449 per location/month. Founding rates are $99/$199/$299 for the first 20 paying locations, locked for 12 months from activation even if standard prices increase after launch. One-time implementation is $499/$999/$1,499. Standard support is included; optional Priority Support starts at $99/month for up to 3 locations. Activation scope is agreed in writing.

Does Savy do anything on its own?

No. Savy notices, explains and drafts. A person confirms every post, message, approval, order and payment, in the exact version that goes out.

What does OPSAVOR connect to?

In the private preview, owners upload the reports they already have: sales recaps from the POS, payroll summaries and supplier invoices. Connections that read directly from those systems come later, and OPSAVOR only reads; it never changes them.

Can my staff use it?

Yes. Staff get their own app for shifts, swaps, time off, chats and announcements. They never see wages, sales or costs. Try the practice copy of the staff app.
