  • 📊 Daily Brief — prior day summary, sent every morning before shift start
  • 🏆 Win Alerts — when your store posts a personal or market record

FAQ

Common
Questions.

What is Zairo?
Zairo is an AI-powered operations platform for QSR (quick service restaurant) chains. It turns your daily POS report into prep forecasts, drive-thru speed-of-service (SOS) scoring, labor and food-cost analysis, and a written battle plan — delivered to every leader before the shift starts.
How does Zairo work?
Forward your daily POS report email to reports@zairoai.com. Zairo's AI reads your sales, labor, SOS, and food-cost data, calculates prep quantities, scores every 15-minute SOS interval, and emails a personalized PDF brief to your owner, area leader, and general manager. No uploads, integrations, or IT department required.
Which POS systems and restaurant brands does Zairo support?
Zairo works with any QSR brand and POS format. It ships with a native Whataburger parser and self-learning AI that adapts to Taco Bell, McDonald's, Square, and virtually any report format — detected once and remembered forever.
Does Zairo connect to Square or my POS?
Yes. You can connect Square in one click during signup — no API keys or setup calls. Zairo then pulls your sales, labor, inventory, and team roster automatically and stays current with near-real-time webhook updates. Not on Square? You can still forward your daily report email or upload any report format.
Can Zairo build my staff schedule?
Yes. Zairo's AI scheduling builds a full weekly staff schedule with one click, sized to your labor target and sales forecast while guaranteeing 24/7 and manager coverage and respecting employee availability and time-off. You can edit it, publish to staff, manage shift swaps, and export to PDF or CSV at schedule.zairoai.com.
How much does Zairo cost?
Zairo is $499 per store per month and includes daily AI briefs, prep forecasting, SOS intelligence, SMS alerts, and the operator portal. You can start with a free trial — no credit card and no setup calls required.
What is drive-thru speed of service (SOS) scoring?
Speed of service (SOS) measures how fast your drive-thru serves each car. Zairo scores every 15-minute interval as a win or loss against your target, breaks performance down by day part, and pinpoints your weakest hour with a specific fix recommendation.
Does Zairo send SMS and text alerts?
Yes. Zairo sends three tiers of SMS: a morning brief with the prior day's summary, critical alerts when labor, SOS, or food cost miss target by 10% or more, and win alerts when a store sets a personal or market record. All bilingual in English and Spanish.
How long does Zairo take to set up?
Most operators are live in under five minutes. There is no software to install and no integration to build — you create an account and forward one daily report email, and your first AI brief follows automatically.
