RTN Start-Up Alley at MURTEC 2022: Meet The Top 17

Agot AI: Agot transforms restaurant operations from reactive to proactive. No need to wait for orders to properly allocate labor, no need to react to a customer order complaint, no need to rely on lagging performance indicators. With Agot, brands can: foresee customer demand and place labor to exceed speed of service goals; correct errors before they reach the customer; leverage real-time metrics to immediately impact performance. Every brand knows that if the best manager could be placed in all the stores overseeing the preparation of every order that customer satisfaction, worker satisfaction, and financial performance would skyrocket. Agot delivers that transformation.

BYOD: Our AI, Mabel, is focused on solving operational problems in real time. Though she mines historical data and uses predictive analysis, she is truly focused on interventional behaviors. Mabel helps operators schedule, tighten their labor, react to customers, and generally manage their restaurants better - and all in realtime. With an employee pool 1 million people smaller than in 2019, restaurant operators are stretched too thin. With Mabel, issues don't fall through the cracks, customers aren't overlooked, staff is actively managed, and operators have time to get back to business.

Chalkboards POS: Chalkboards empowers Restaurants to take over modern customer engagement with a new POS that has a comprehensive set of modern technologies already embedded. Restaurants can promote their high profit items with unified signage, enjoy built-in loyalty, and redirect feedback to themselves instead of Yelp. With new tools like 'Table-touch' discounts, restaurants can entice their best customers to visit more. GreenDining feature will let a restaurant have a flash-sale for over-preps. All these and more right from the POS, in easy-to-use form. We re-imagine the POS from the inside out, with modern customer engagement at its core instead of an after-though.

CheckPlease: By allowing guests to pay whenever they're ready on their own device without having to download an app or needing to wait for their server. This will allow guests the convenience to leave a table whenever they are ready. This also allows for restaurants to turn tables over faster and the restaurants' staff to work more efficiently with recent staff shortages since this will assist with a time consuming part of their job, the payment process. CheckPlease integrates with the restaurant's POS and payment processor/gateway in order to make this experience as seamless as possible.

COGS-Well: Most inventory systems require users to do all of the initial system setup and take weeks months to install. COGS-Well does most of the initial setup work, including the inventory item database and will typically have new users up and running in just a few days. OGS-Well also eliminates manual entry of inventory items received by importing invoices. Our team of Receiving Auditors handles new inventory items, vendors, packaging changes, and missing pack sizes, and at no added cost. Other inventory systems require multiple hours of staff time per week. In COGS-Well, inventory receiving requires zero staff time.

Curbit: By making the pickup experience easy, brands will become more directly connected to their guests vs leakage to the 3DP. With smoother guest interactions, the labor force will become more stable vs the stress of having daily interactions with unsatisfied customers waiting longer than necessary or picking up cold food. Operational decisions will be driven by consumable business intelligence designed to maximize throughput.

Grip Places: By attracting new customers and killing the harmful star rating system. It’s Simple. Live Video Speaks a Thousand Words. How many times have you wondered what a place is like before you went and then found out wasn’t your scene? We feel your pain. We believe live streaming cameras are the solution by letting you see the vibe of a place with your own eyes in real-time before you even leave the house. No more guessing games or having to read subjective star ratings and reviews. Simply view it live, decide, and go.

Hellometer: QSR is all about speed (it’s in the name). Historically, the tools to measure it are incomplete and inaccurate. Hellometer is the world’s first AI timer; our computer-vision technology uses cameras to monitor and ensure each guest has a great experience. For the first time, Hellometer allows operators to track dining room service speeds. Before us, there has never been accurate technology to do it. In drive-thrus, from the second guests enter the lot, Hellometers shows you where and when speed is losing you revenue.

Hi Auto: Hi Auto is the Virtual Assistant for Restaurants. Our first skill is automated order taking for the Drive-Thru. We free up the restaurant staff to prepare the order and engage the customer at the window while we are handling the voice order taking at the menu board. This is a big help during the hiring crisis. Hi Auto also helps with the inconsistency of human employees - it's never rude, no show, sick and it consistently upsells based on your script increasing average order size.

Paerpay: Powerful contactless payments, without switching POS systems. The best contactless payment experience for restaurants and their guests. Save time and money, while offering modern payment options. No apps, downloads, or new hardware needed. Paerpay helps restaurants adopt all modern forms of contactless payments and checkout-free payment experiences without changing their payment architecture, downloading apps, or hardware.
