Geo market intelligence

Insights no single venue could generate alone.

Brewster aggregates anonymised, privacy-safe order signals across South African hospitality venues. The result is market intelligence that tells you not just how your venue is performing, but how it compares to the broader local market. No individual venue data is ever shared. All signals are aggregated, geo-anonymised, and stripped of identifiers before analysis.

What's inside

Intelligence that works while you sleep

Every night, Brewster analyses your order patterns alongside anonymised aggregate data from South African hospitality venues to surface opportunities you would never spot manually.

01

AI weekly insight reports

Plain-English intelligence reports generated each week - promotion suggestions, missed opportunities, waste highlights, and revenue comparisons against similar South African venues.

02

Geo market intelligence

Understand how your venue performs relative to your local market. Anonymised signals from nearby venues reveal demand patterns, peak windows, and pricing benchmarks you cannot see in isolation.

03

Sales forecasting

AI-generated revenue projections based on your order history, day-of-week patterns, and seasonal trends observed across the Brewster network. Plan stock and staffing with confidence.

04

Revenue dashboard

Daily, weekly, and monthly revenue at a glance. Filter by order type - pickup, in-store, or table - to understand exactly what is driving growth and where to double down.

05

Peak hour prediction

Understand when your venue is busiest and how that compares to market averages. AI-powered staffing suggestions based on your historical rush patterns and geo-benchmarks.

06

Menu performance AI

Surface which items generate the most revenue, which have the best margin, and which are dragging down your average order value - with AI-suggested menu optimisations.

07

Waste and spoilage AI

Combine wastage logs with sales velocity data to identify where you are losing margin. AI flags overstock risks and suggests order quantities based on your sell-through history.

08

Anomaly alerts

Get notified when something unexpected happens - a revenue spike, a sudden drop in a popular item, or a new peak hour you have not staffed for. Catch it early, act fast.

Analytics questions

Do I have to set up reports before I see anything?

No. The revenue dashboard and peak-hour view build from the orders you are already taking, so the numbers appear as you trade rather than after a configuration exercise.

What is in the weekly insight report?

A short written read on the week - what moved, what slipped and what is worth attention - generated from your own order data. It is free on every plan, so the reporting is not the thing you have to upgrade for.

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.

What triggers an anomaly alert?

A pattern that breaks from your own history - a sharp change in takings, discounting or voids against how that day usually looks. It is a prompt to check, not an accusation, and it comes with the numbers behind it.

Is geo market intelligence built from other venues' data?

It reports on market-level patterns in your area, never another venue's individual trade. No other business on Brewster can see your figures, and you cannot see theirs.
