The cost per dish was calculated once, eight months ago. Waste is eyeballed, suppliers are paid from memory and each location’s cash closes in a different spreadsheet. Orders and reservations come in on WhatsApp and get answered whenever there’s a spare minute.

How it rolls out

A roadmap for your company.

You don’t need to migrate everything on day one. This is how most companies in the industry move forward once they start with BOS.

PHASE 1 · GET ORGANIZED

What each dish costs.

Ingredients at current cost, every dish with its cost and price, and each location’s cash with the shift’s sales consolidated.

PHASE 2 · BUY SMARTER

Suppliers, waste and margin.

Purchase orders, what you owe each supplier and when it’s due, waste logged with a reason and the real margin of every dish against projected cash.

PHASE 3 · AURORA TAKES THE LEAD

It serves and alerts.

Conversa takes reservations and orders on WhatsApp; Aurora flags the dish that stopped earning margin when an ingredient goes up, and when it makes sense to pay each supplier.

The full picture

The kitchen is yours.
The numbers are right here.

BOS doesn’t replace your front-of-house system or your POS: it connects with them and builds the full picture of the business — cost per dish, waste, supplier debt, projected cash and customers served.

Cost per dish, always current

Every dish with its cost and price; what each supplier charges you flows into the calculation, with no copying by hand.

Every location with its own numbers

Every location with its cash, sales and margin — and a consolidated view for management.

Suppliers paid on time

Purchase orders, what you owe each supplier and when it’s due, and the real cost of every ingredient that enters the kitchen.

Reservations and orders on WhatsApp

Conversa takes reservations, delivery orders and menu questions 24/7 — when the customer writes, not when there’s a spare minute.

How yesterday went

Yesterday’s sales by location and shift, average ticket and a comparison with the same day last month — the first thing you see when you log in.

Which dish leaves you margin

What earns margin and what just takes up space on the menu: real margin per dish at each ingredient’s current cost.

Waste, measured

Every write-off is logged as a stock adjustment with its reason: waste is measured, not estimated.

When to pay and when to hold off

Supplier due dates against projected cash — when it makes sense to pay and when to hold off.

Each location’s team, no notebook

Records, vacation and leave for each location’s team, and payroll ready to pay from your accounting firm’s payroll run.

After-sales and loyalty

The dish goes out right.
And the customer comes back.

The customer who orders on WhatsApp or books a table leaves a trail. BOS keeps it so next time you don’t start from scratch.

Order after-sales

Complaints about delays or missing items with their status and owner, tied to the order and the location.

Customers who come back

Frequency by customer and by location; Conversa reaches out again to whoever stopped ordering.

Perks and loyalty

Promos and perks for regulars, triggered from the same contact base.

Technical capabilities

The foundations that protect
your company’s data.

1

Each business’s data is kept separate from every other account in the database itself, not just on screen. If something fails, access closes — it doesn’t open.

2

Role-based permissions, enforced at four points, from the screen to the database: each person sees and does only what’s theirs to do. Payroll and billing are stored separately, with stricter access.

3

Sign in with your Microsoft or Google account, with two-step verification, and every session is protected and renewed securely.

4

Infrastructure on Supabase (SOC 2 Type 2, encryption at rest, backups with point-in-time recovery) and Vercel (ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type II, DDoS/WAF mitigation) — certifications held by our infrastructure providers, not by BOS as a product.

5

Multi-company and per-location permissions: each manager sees their location, management sees the consolidated view, and one account’s data never crosses into another’s.

6

Connects with the systems you already use through a public API and signed automatic notifications (webhooks): it doesn’t force you to replace them — it runs the business around them.

No strings attached

Use what works for you. Nothing more.

Every module is customizable, and its features can be used partly or fully: none of them is mandatory. You can use BOS just as a task planner and leave the rest alone — it stays available, included in the same subscription, for the day you need it.

Frequently asked questions

What people always ask.

Does BOS replace my front-of-house system or my POS?
It doesn’t force you to. Your front-of-house system and POS can stay where they are — BOS connects and builds the full picture of the business: cost per dish, waste, suppliers, projected cash and margin per dish. If you’d rather BOS do it all, that works too.
Does it take a commission on what I sell?
No. The Commerce module charges no commission on sales at your location, on WhatsApp or in your own online store.
Does it work with several locations?
Yes: each location with its cash, sales and margin, with per-location permissions and a consolidated view for management.
What if I also run a retail store?
Yes, and it has its own page: BOS for Retail covers what that sector needs — stock by branch, price lists by channel and margin per product.
How long does implementation take?
Most start with ingredients, recipes and cash (Phase 1) and add suppliers, waste, Conversa and Aurora later.
