"I used to spend my Monday mornings building spreadsheets. Now I have a cockpit"

The Context


Sophie, the operations director for a group of 6 restaurants, has always been deeply involved in the day-to-day performance tracking.

She wants to keep a close eye on the numbers, spot trends, and anticipate issues.


But in practice, every Monday is the same routine :


  • Each manager sends their Excel file.

  • She copies, corrects, merges, and compares them… for 3 to 4 hours.

  • And in the end, she relies on gut instinct, simply because she doesn’t have enough time to truly interpret the data.





The Problem


The issue isn’t a lack of data. It’s the mental overload of cross-checking, validating, and making sense of it.

Sophie is in overdrive. She’s losing time, but more importantly, she’s losing strategic clarity.


She knows some locations are overperforming and others are underperforming, but she doesn’t have the right lens to watch the whole picture unfold.





Enter Fyre


By connecting her POS systems to Fyre, Sophie gets an automated, visual weekly report.


No more emails. No more floating spreadsheets. All KPIs are centralized in one place, with clear alerts whenever a metric goes off track.


All available in 5 minutes, right on her phone, even before she gets to the office.





What Fyre Reveals


Every Monday, Sophie receives :


  • A top/flop of products by location

  • Margin shifts compared to last week

  • Sales broken down by time slot

  • Average ticket and basket value differences

  • Automated suggestions for corrective actions


She no longer has to dig for problems: Fyre highlights them, prioritizes them, and suggests fixes.





Actions Taken


Sophie uses this dashboard as the starting point for her weekly meetings with restaurant managers.

Each location has its own clear summary.

No more vague conversations, now it’s all about concrete adjustments.


She also shares a monthly visual recap with her executive team to showcase progress (or raise red flags).





Results


  • Sophie saves nearly 3 hours every week

  • No more juggling 6 Excel files

  • Faster actions, because issues are visible

  • A clearer performance culture across the team





💡 Key Takeaway


➡️ Data is worthless if it’s unreadable.

➡️ Fyre doesn’t just give you numbers, it gives you a decision cockpit.


And in the restaurant business, that’s the difference between reacting and truly steering.


Then act with Fyre !
