Hidden winners
Dishes your customers rate highly but rarely order, with a nudge to put them on a special or move them up the menu.
Included on every plan
See what's making you money and what's quietly costing you.
Brewster turns what you already run through it into takings, busiest hours, best sellers and waste figures, and every Sunday the free AI Advisor briefing tells you the two or three things worth acting on. All included on every plan.
The weekly AI Advisor briefing
A short read every Sunday. Free on every plan.
The AI Advisor reads your week and writes you a plain-language briefing with the few things actually worth acting on. A taste of what it picks up:
Menu items losing money
Dishes selling at or below what they cost to make, once your recipe costs are in Brewster.
Promotion ideas
Specials to lift slow sellers and clear stock before it spoils, each with a suggested discount.
Regulars gone quiet
How many regulars haven't been back lately and how often they used to come, so you know when it's time to win them back.
The numbers behind every shift, included.
Everything builds from the orders you already take through Brewster. No spreadsheets, no setup and nothing extra on your bill.
Weekly AI Advisor briefing
A short, plain-language read on last week with the two or three things worth acting on: promotions to try, dishes quietly doing well, waste to watch and items losing money. Free on every plan.
Takings at a glance
Takings, average spend, repeat customers, and your best and slowest sellers over the last 7, 30 or 90 days. See what is driving the till without building a single report.
Your busiest hours
See when your venue is busiest, hour by hour and day by day, so rosters and prep follow real trade rather than gut feel.
Menu performance
Which dishes bring in the money and which quietly lose it once your recipe costs are in, so price and menu changes rest on real numbers.
Waste and spoilage
Your waste log read against what actually sells, so you can see where margin is ending up in the bin. The weekly briefing calls out waste trends and stock at risk of spoiling.
A heads-up on unusual days
When takings jump or drop, a popular item suddenly stalls or a new rush appears, owners and admins get a heads-up the next morning with the numbers behind it.
The step up: Brewster Almanac
A heads-up says a day was off. Brewster Intelligence says what to try next.
Brewster Intelligence, part of the Brewster Almanac plan for additional tools, keeps an eye on your takings, refunds and stock records every day. When something needs you, it explains what happened in plain words the next morning, suggests one thing to try and follows up on the number the note was about. You decide; nothing changes on its own.
Almanac is in early access, not on sale yet. R129 a month per venue once it opens, and joining early access costs nothing. Prices in ZAR. VAT applies where applicable.
Analytics questions
Do I have to set up reports before I see anything?
No. Your takings and busiest hours build from the orders you are already taking, so the numbers appear as you trade, with nothing to set up first.
What is in the weekly AI Advisor briefing?
A short, plain-language read on last week - what moved, what slipped and the two or three things worth acting on - written from your own trading. It is free on every plan. If you want Brewster to keep an eye on every day and suggest what to try when one falls short, that is Brewster Intelligence. It is part of Brewster Almanac, the plan for additional tools: in early access now, free to join, and R129 a month per venue once it opens.
How does menu performance analysis work?
It looks at each item on both sales and margin, which is the pairing that matters: a top seller with thin margin and a quiet item with a strong one need different decisions, and volume alone hides that. Margins come from the recipe costs you enter.
What sets off a heads-up on an unusual day?
A day that breaks from your own recent pattern: takings well up or down, a popular item suddenly selling far less, or a new busy hour. It is a prompt to take a look, and it comes with the numbers behind it.
Can I compare my venue with others nearby?
Once enough similar venues near you are on Brewster, yes: you will see how your average spend, busiest hour and takings compare with your area, never another venue's own figures. Until then it stays off rather than guess. No other business on Brewster can see your figures, and you cannot see theirs.
Know what's making you money, every week.
Your first AI Advisor briefing arrives after your first week of trading, free on every plan.
