The old way

Your restaurant tech stack has its own tech stack.

POS+inventory+accounting+phones+loyalty+online orders=who owns this problem?

Table Needs is what happens when those systems share a brain.

One restaurant, one operating system

Deep enough for the brand office.
Fast enough for Friday night.

Most “all-in-one” platforms mean one login to a collection of acquisitions and integrations. Ours means the order can update the kitchen, the ingredient, the guest, the books—and the answer when you ask what happened.

The unfair advantage

Inventory that knows a tomato becomes salsa before it becomes a taco.

This is not a spreadsheet with a nicer login. Table Needs models ingredients, prep, nested recipes, yields, lots, vendors, counts, waste, and actual sales together.

  • Live plate costs through every variation and modifier
  • Receiving, lots, depletion, valuation, and count audits
  • Usage-based reorders, invoices, and automatic menu engineering

Known before hello

The guest relationship should not disappear when the check closes.

Calls, two-way text, loyalty, ordering, offers, and brand apps share the same guest. A phone number can become a recognized regular—and an order already in motion.

Close the loop

The books know what happened.
Expo AI knows why.

Native accounting turns restaurant events into financial truth. Expo is the AI assistant that can investigate profit, cash, sales, food cost, discounts, refunds, recipes, invoices, and orders without six exports and a patient analyst.

Were we profitable last month—and why?
No. Net margin was −1.7%.

Food cost rose 3.4 points, led by chicken and fryer oil across three locations.

Expo checked accounting, inventory, sales, and discounts.

Starts simple. Stays powerful.

The same system should make sense at store one and store one hundred.

No “enterprise edition” that replaces the product your operators already learned. Add organizational depth as the brand grows while the restaurant-facing experience stays direct.

Hardware, not the headline

Built for the counter. Ready to leave it.

Choose a clean countertop setup or take orders and payments wherever service goes. The hardware exists to disappear into the work.
