Brewster Almanac
The platform's one paid upgrade: the plan for additional tools, built and now in early access. Its first tool is Brewster Intelligence, which keeps an eye on your takings, refunds and stock records every day. When something is off, a plain note is waiting in Brewster the next morning with one thing to try, and there is a follow-up on the number the note was about. Not on sale yet.

Brewster Intelligence: shifts and stock takes
Not live in any venue yet. Brewster Intelligence is learning to notice when a problem keeps lining up with the same shifts or people, weighed fairly against how much each person worked, and to explain a stock take that doesn't add up using what happened since the last count: the deliveries booked in, the stock used and the shifts worked. It will show owners and admins a pattern, never a verdict, so the next step can be a conversation, a fix to training or a process, or a roster change.
Shift patterns, weighed by hours worked · Stock take gaps explained · Owners and admins only
Brewster Intelligence: the whole venue
The aim is one picture of the whole venue. We plan for Brewster Intelligence to notice when stock take gaps keep following deliveries from the same supplier, so you can take it up with them, and to spot the machine that keeps breaking down, starting with a place in Brewster to log repairs and replacements. Today a note waits for you in Brewster; the aim is for Intelligence to come and find you when something needs you, while normal trading days stay quiet.
Short deliveries from the same supplier · A repair log, then repeat breakdowns · Comes to find you when something needs you
