FOUR THINGS YOUR POS WILL NEVER DO

What Toast records,
KruaAI decides before service.

Your POS stores transactions. KruaAI reads them, watches stock, and tells you what to do tonight — in the chat your team already uses.

01LABOUR

Cut labour waste, shift by shift

KruaAI reads sales velocity off Toast/Clover/Square hour-by-hour and flags overstaffing before the slow Tuesday hits. One fewer line cook on a slow night = $96 back in margin.

32% → 27%labour cost · pilot, 12 weeks
02WASTE

Save shrimp before it spoils

Tracks ingredient velocity per dish. Tells you which prep to push tonight, what to freeze before close, and what to cut from tomorrow's order — before $40 of shrimp hits the bin.

03ADMIN

10 hours of paperwork in 30 minutes

Snap a receipt — KruaAI reads price, quantity, supplier, logs to inventory and per-dish COGS. Owner asks 'how was last night?' in WhatsApp. Reply in 2 seconds. Done.

04POS LAYER

Free your data, keep your POS

Toast, Clover, Square stack subscription + processing + add-on fees and lock your data behind their dashboard. KruaAI reads it, makes it think — flat monthly, no per-transaction, no commission.

Flat $no GP. no per-txn. no add-on tax.

WHY NOT JUST USE TOAST ALONE?

Your POS records. KruaAI
thinks with the data.

Toast, Clover, and Square are great at point-of-sale. They were not designed to be the brain of your operation — and they were not designed for bilingual Thai-American teams.

Owner asks in WhatsApp. Thai cooks send receipts in LINE. KruaAI reads both, replies in the language each person typed in. The brain is the same — the surface is whatever your team already uses.

REAL NUMBERS · REAL THAI-AMERICAN KITCHENS

Pilots, not promises.

These numbers are from operating restaurants running KruaAI on top of their existing POS. We will add new pilots as they pass 8+ weeks of data.

Every owner question
answered before you decide.

No. KruaAI runs on top of your existing POS using a read-only integration. You keep the hardware, the menu, the staff training, and the customer-facing flow. We just read the data and add the brain.
Most pilots are live within a day. Connecting Toast, Clover, or Square via their API takes about 5 minutes. Historical data backfills overnight, and you can start asking questions in WhatsApp the next morning.
Flat monthly per outlet. No per-transaction fee. No commission. No add-on tax. We share exact pricing on the demo call once we know your outlet count and POS — most pilots pay back the subscription within the first 4–6 weeks via labour and waste savings.
Your POS data is read via the official Toast/Clover/Square API and stored encrypted in our infrastructure. We never write back to your POS, never share data across customers, and never sell it. We sign a standard mutual NDA at pilot start.
Yes. Owners can ask in English, cooks can send receipts and questions in Thai. KruaAI replies in whichever language each person typed in. The same conversation can switch mid-thread.
Thai-speaking staff can use LINE end-to-end. Receipt photos, stock questions, and shift checklists all work in Thai. The owner sees translated summaries in WhatsApp if they prefer.
Month-to-month. No long-term contract, no setup fees, no termination penalty. If you cancel we delete your data within 30 days on request.
A bookkeeper logs receipts after the fact. KruaAI tells you tonight that you're overstaffed for tomorrow, that shrimp is sitting, and that Pad Thai cost is up 8% this month — while you can still act on it.

Stop guessing.
