"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 !
