Square just announced ManagerBot this week.

What does it actually feel like to manage restaurants with an AI agent? I wrote about it.
The morning routine. The out of stocks. The espresso machine. Talking to your data instead of hunting for it.

I used to set aside every bicentennial quarter I found for a regular named Mr. Morris. Married his wife in '76. No system could've told me to do that. AI made it free to look like you care. Which means looking like you care is now worthless.The only thing left with any value is the thing the machine can't fake: actually caring. https://t.co/o2t5Alh2mX

AI this. AI that.
Anyone know the real reason we talk about AI so much?
Why restaurants are hard.

@nachunja Toast has a competitive offering, but they are two different philosophies. Toast IQ is smart about data, ManagerBot can do all that, but it is for you to shape it how you want for your business. And there is so much more.

@kale_tale13 @jack That's what is going to be so different with Manny, you can control how it works and build it to work the way you want. It is built on customizability and adaptability.

30 years in food service. Running multiple locations on Square.

Built an AI system that tracks food cost in real time using the Square POS API. No inventory counts. No subscription. Food cost dropped 5% in 60 days.
