Bistro sits on every screen of your Business Portal. Ask it what’s low, what you owe a supplier, which table needs attention, how yesterday’s sales compare, or why a steward can’t reprint a bill — and it answers from your own data, with a link to the right screen.
An assistant for owners and admins that will not make things up. Every number Bistro gives comes from your restaurant’s data in that moment; if a question is unclear, matches more than one thing or needs data it doesn’t have, it says so and points you to the screen instead of guessing. When it can help do something, it shows a proposal card — you confirm, and the change is checked again and logged. It never takes payments, refunds, voids, cancellations, price changes or deletes.

Ask from any screen
Tap Ask Bistro at the bottom-right of any portal page. Bistro knows which screen you are on and suggests questions for it, and the conversation follows you as you move around. On a phone it opens as a bottom sheet.
Answers from your data — and the why
Ask “what is running low?”, “what do I owe this supplier?”, “which tables need attention?” or “how were sales this week?”. Bistro looks it up in your restaurant’s data and explains the reason behind the number — why a table is flagged, why a dish is unavailable, why a staff member was blocked.
It never guesses
If a question could mean two things, a name matches more than one item, or the data isn’t there, Bistro says what it couldn’t work out and links the screen where you can check. It would rather say “I can’t tell” than give you a wrong number.
You confirm every action
Bistro can propose things like recording wastage, drafting a purchase or reorder, suggesting a recipe, making a prep batch or changing one operational setting — each as a card showing exactly what will change. Nothing happens until you tap Confirm, and every action is logged.
Hands off the money
Bistro never takes payments, gives refunds, voids or cancels orders, changes prices or deletes anything. For those it gives you a link to the right screen.

Who it’s for
Frequently asked
What can I ask Bistro?
Questions about stock, batches, recipes, prep and suppliers; Live Floor and orders; sales and reports; and settings — including why a staff member can or can’t do something. On every plan you can also ask how to do things on the screen you are on.
Can Bistro make mistakes?
Bistro is built to refuse rather than guess. Every number it gives comes from your data in that moment; if the question is unclear or the data isn’t there, it tells you what it couldn’t determine and links the screen to check.
Can Bistro change things in my restaurant?
Only with your confirmation. It shows a proposal card with exactly what will change; you tap Confirm, and the change is checked again and logged. It never handles payments, refunds, voids, cancellations, price changes or deletes.
Who can use Bistro?
Restaurant admins only. Stewards, billers and chefs don’t see it.
