AI writes the draft. A person still hits send. That one rule is why our restaurants' posts, emails, and texts sound like us and not like a robot.

An operator spent $15,000 on a new POS to fix slow tickets. A $200 table move at the expo station fixed it. This year's AI pitch is the same trap. Find the problem first.

Most restaurants don't need an AI strategy. They need the Friday report to stop being someone's job. Start with a prompt. Then a workflow. Build a tool last.
