Aptic for restaurants and cafes

Make every busy night pay.

A full dining room does not always mean a good night. Aptic compares sales, staff costs, ingredients, and discounts, and shows which shifts, dishes, and promotions help you earn more.

Three questions worth answering.

Aptic's offices answer them from your own records, then act on the answer within your settings.

Did that promotion bring anyone new?

Or did it hand a discount to the regulars who were coming anyway, on the nights that were already full?

What does each shift cost?

Compare staff costs with sales for each part of the day.

Which dishes earn the most?

Compare best sellers with profit after ingredients and waste.

More customers. Less spent per visit.

What these numbers suggest when read together.

Illustrative example
  • Point of sale

    Midweek customers up 12%, spend per person down 14%

  • Promotion

    61% of discount codes redeemed by existing loyalty members

  • Staff schedule

    Weekend full-price customers down 6%, staff hours unchanged

Recommended next step

Regular customers may be switching from full-price weekends to discounted weekdays. Test offering the discount only to new or returning lapsed customers.

Why this recommendation?

Confidence: Medium. Sales and loyalty data support the idea. Another cycle is needed to check seasonal effects.

Compare the whole week before judging the offer.

What Aptic reads in a restaurant.

You choose what Aptic can see. Reading a source does not authorize changes.

  • Sales: orders, dishes, times of day, and discounts
  • Scheduling and payroll: hours worked and staff costs
  • Bookings, loyalty and reviews: who came, who came back, what they said
  • Purchasing: ingredient costs, waste, and supplier price changes

We work with the people you already have.

Aptic does not replace the people who create for your business. We work with your team, designer, or creative agency on design, copy, and other creative work that people make, and with the professionals you already use, like your accountant or attorney. When you need someone new, we can introduce partners we work with.

Straight answers

Common questions.

Will Aptic change our staff schedules?

Aptic recommends schedule changes based on sales and staff costs. Changes happen only within the permissions and autonomy you set.

Does it work with our point of sale?

Aptic works with common point-of-sale, scheduling, and accounting tools, and with exports where there is no direct connection. See Integrations for details.

How do you know if a promotion worked?

Aptic compares results with what was expected, states how confident it is, and says plainly when a result is unclear or seasons could explain it.
