The operator problem

Your Data Should Tell Your Team What To Do Next.

Most multi-unit operators are not short on data. They are short on the connection between the numbers and the next shift.

Sales, labor, speed of service, and food cost each live in their own report, on their own schedule, read by different people. By the time the pattern is visible, the week that caused it is over.

Zairo closes that gap. It reads the operation every day and hands each role a specific, prioritized set of actions, so the manager, the area leader, and the operator are working the same plan.

  • Reports arrive late

    The daily numbers land after the opportunity to act on them has passed.

  • Scheduling is disconnected

    Schedules and labor decisions live in separate systems from the sales they should follow.

  • Comparing stores takes hours

    Area leaders spend their week lining up locations by hand instead of coaching.

  • Numbers without a plan

    Managers receive results but no clear, prioritized set of actions for the shift ahead.

The platform

One Operating System for the Shift, the Store, and the Margin.

Zairo brings scheduling, daily operational intelligence, labor visibility, food-cost analysis, reports, and team execution into a single system, so every level of the organization runs from the same plan.

Pillar 01

Plan the Shift

The problem
Schedules are built from habit and last week's memory, then labor misses when sales do not cooperate.
What Zairo does
  • AI scheduling sized to your labor target and sales forecast
  • Sales and labor forecasting, adjusted for local events and weather
  • Availability, time off, shift release, and coverage rules built in
The outcome
A posted week that follows demand hour by hour and lands on the labor goal.

Pillar 02

Run the Operation

The problem
Managers open the day with yesterday's totals and no specific priorities for the shift in front of them.
What Zairo does
  • Daily Blueprint: a morning brief with priorities for each store and role
  • Speed-of-service and KPI intelligence down to the weakest hour
  • Alerts and manager action plans when labor, SOS, or food cost drift
The outcome
Every manager knows what to fix, what to protect, and when, before the rush starts.

Pillar 03

Protect the Margin

The problem
Food cost is discovered at period end, and the reason is buried across invoices, counts, and stores.
What Zairo does
  • COGAR food-cost and yield analysis by item, store, and period
  • AI-powered invoice extraction and inventory intelligence
  • Multi-location performance comparison with drill-downs
The outcome
Variance is found while it can still be corrected, and the dollars behind it are visible.

See the Platform.

The same system serves the schedule, the daily operation, the food-cost review, and the multi-store view, each with its own screen in the operator portal.

A week that follows the forecast.

Zairo builds the schedule from projected sales, your labor goal, and who is actually available, then grades the result before you post it.

  • Forecast-driven optimization staffs each hour to projected demand and your sales-per-labor-hour goal.
  • Availability, time off, and shift release are handled in the same place managers post the week.
  • Publish by group and reach the team by email, in the portal, and in the mobile app.

Zairo on the go

The operation, in your pocket.

Authorized managers and team members can open their schedules, operational information, alerts, and other mobile features included with their organization's Zairo account.

Access requires an active company account. There is no self-signup in the app; your organization invites you.

Built for each level

One Plan, Three Views.

The same day's data reaches every role in the form that role can act on.

Restaurant Manager

Know today's priorities before the shift begins.

The morning brief names the hour to protect, the position to adjust, and the target to hold, so the manager runs the shift instead of reconstructing yesterday.

Area Leader

See which locations need attention and why.

Stores are ranked against the same targets, with the driver behind each miss already identified. Store visits start with the answer, not the search.

Owner / Operator

Protect labor, margin, and execution across the entire market.

Labor, food cost, and speed of service roll up by store, area, and market, with the trend and the dollars behind it visible without a spreadsheet.

Company

Built in the Restaurant, Not in a Boardroom.

Zairo was created by experienced QSR operators who have run multi-unit markets and lived with the numbers every morning.

The people who designed Zairo have set labor targets and missed them, watched a drive-thru fall apart at 12:30, chased food cost through a week of invoices, and rebuilt a schedule the night before it posted. They know what a manager can actually do with a number, and what an area leader needs to see before driving to a store.

That experience shapes every screen: the metrics are the ones operators already run on, the plan is written in the language of the shift, and nothing requires an analyst to interpret.

  • Operator-ledFounded and run by people with multi-unit QSR operating experience.
  • Kansas City, KSZairo LLC, an independent restaurant-technology company.
  • English and SpanishPortal, schedule, and alerts work for bilingual teams.

How it works

From Your Reports to Your Team's Next Action.

Three steps, guided by the Zairo team from the first conversation to the first brief.

  1. STEP 1

    Connect your data

    Connect through supported POS integrations or Zairo's flexible report-ingestion workflow. Our team configures stores, targets, and roles with you.

  2. STEP 2

    Zairo Intelligence analyzes

    Every day, sales, labor, speed of service, and food cost are scored against your targets, forecasts are updated, and the week's schedule is sized to demand.

  3. STEP 3

    Your team acts

    Managers, area leaders, and operators each receive their view in the portal, by email, by SMS, and in the mobile app, with the priorities already set.

Implementation, integrations, and security

Enterprise Confidence for Multi-Location Operators.

  • Guided onboarding

    Zairo staff scope, configure, and launch your account with you. Zairo guides setup and coordinates supported integrations with your team.

  • Flexible POS and report ingestion

    Square is a supported integration today. Daily reports arrive as PDF, Excel, or CSV through the report-ingestion workflow; further integrations are scoped per operator.

  • Role-based access

    Owners, area leaders, managers, and crew each see only the stores and data their role allows, with sessions revoked the moment access changes.

  • Secure data handling

    Traffic is encrypted in transit with TLS, security-relevant actions are audit-logged, and encrypted backups are stored off-site nightly. Details are in the privacy policy.

  • Multi-location architecture

    Stores, areas, and markets are first-class objects. Targets, standards, and reports roll up and drill down along the structure you already manage.

  • Responsive operator support

    Support is staffed by people who understand the operation. Reach them at support@zairoai.com or through the support page.

Questions operators ask

Before You Request a Demo.

What does Zairo replace or connect with?
Zairo sits on top of the POS and the daily reports you already produce. It connects to Square through a supported integration that our team configures during onboarding, and it ingests daily sales, labor, and speed-of-service reports in PDF, Excel, or CSV through Zairo's report-ingestion workflow. It replaces the spreadsheets, hand-built schedules, and end-of-day report reading in between your systems, not the POS or payroll platforms themselves.
Which restaurant groups is Zairo designed for?
Multi-unit QSR and fast-casual operators: franchise groups and independent operators running several locations, where owners, area leaders, and restaurant managers each need a different view of the same numbers. Single-location operators can use Zairo, but the platform is built around the multi-location structure.
How does implementation work?
Implementation is guided by Zairo's team. We scope your stores and targets with you, connect your POS or report feed, load your roster, and set up logins by role. There is no self-serve signup and nothing for your team to install beyond the optional mobile app. Most operators are live within days of signing.
Which POS and report formats are supported?
Square is a supported POS integration, connected for you during onboarding. Daily sales, labor, and speed-of-service reports can be delivered to Zairo as PDF, Excel, or CSV through the report-ingestion workflow. Additional POS integrations are scoped per operator, so tell us what you run when you request a demo.
How is pricing structured?
Zairo is priced per store, per month, on an annual operating agreement. The rate depends on how many stores you run and which modules you turn on, so pricing is quoted in writing before anything is signed rather than listed publicly. There is no self-serve plan and no free trial.
How is operational data protected?
Every person sees only the stores and data their role allows. All portal and API traffic runs over HTTPS with TLS, security-relevant actions are audit-logged, and encrypted database backups are stored off-site on a nightly schedule. Each operator's data is kept separate from every other operator's. The privacy policy at zairoai.com/privacy describes what is collected and how it is handled.
