Restaurants have been paying too much for disconnected software, delivery fees, and missed calls for years. Upload your menu and see AIR assemble POS, ordering, phones, website, loyalty, pricing, and restaurant intelligence around your restaurant.
Startup proof
Chan Nara: test case #1
Maestro / Claude Desktop
“What should I fix before Friday night service?”
AIR can answer from the dashboard or Claude Desktop, with desktop access prepared from your account when you want it.
Maestro, did the last DoorDash order print?
Maestro, what time did Robbie clock in today?
Maestro, what were sales last month?
Maestro, is OpenTable worth $600/month here?
Maestro, how do I calculate Pad See Ew plate cost?
Maestro, which menu items still need photos?
Maestro, upload these 14 photos to the menu.

The wedge incumbents cannot copy
Against Toast, Square, Clover, SpotOn, and Lightspeed, the wedge is not another feature checklist. Restaurant churn usually starts when the real bill shows up: processor economics, proprietary terminals, add-on modules, implementation fees, and contract terms. AIR is built to win by staying easy to leave.

Software
Flat $/mo
Pick the AIR plan that fits the restaurant. The bill should be understandable before a sales call.
Processing
Pass-through at cost
Use Square or Stripe at cost. AIR does not hide margin inside card rates.
Hardware
Buy it yourself
Run on iPads and standard restaurant hardware. Own the devices and replace them on your timeline.
AIR should make your restaurant easier to operate, not harder to leave. Menus, guests, orders, settings, and reporting data need a clean export path so an owner never has to negotiate for their own history.
See pricing assumptionsLive tests check the actual order, payment, printer, SMS, phone, deployment, and KitchenHub paths.
A system only turns green when AIR can prove it recently worked, not when a dashboard looks quiet.
If something breaks, the owner sees the incident and the fix path instead of guessing which vendor to call.
1
Drop a PDF, CSV, photo, or POS export. AIR turns it into a working restaurant system.
2
POS, website, ordering, phones, loyalty, pricing, and reporting light up around the same data.
3
Use Maestro in AIR or Claude Desktop when you want the same operator brain on your own machine.
Verified is green
Tech Desk checks phones, online ordering, payments, printers, integrations, deploys, and scheduled jobs. Green means a heartbeat or live test proved the path works; unresolved incidents get escalated before service feels the pain.

The honest path
AIR is early, honest, and being tested in a real restaurant now. The demo shows what your restaurant looks like inside the system before anyone asks you to switch.
Day 1
POS, table map, ordering, printer checks, staff tools, website, and basic settings are the cutover work.
Day 14
Chan Nara is the first live test: real menu, real orders, real delivery channels, real health checks, and real operator feedback.
Days 30-90
Plate cost, inventory, marketing, phone AI, and reports get stronger as AIR watches what actually happens.
The 90-day vacation challenge
Day 1 is normal cutover work. Days 30-90 are where the data starts buying back owner time.
