Pali IQ

Why we built this

We believe the person running the floor deserves better than a spreadsheet and a gut feeling.

Ask your workforce data a question. Get an answer, not a dashboard.

Pali IQ is a conversational AI copilot for QSR and restaurant managers, grounded in your own shift and sales data, not guesses. Ask it what a dashboard would make you dig for.

Sound familiar?

Every week starts the same way.

  • You're piecing together a schedule from group texts and a spreadsheet.
  • A no-show blows up your Saturday dinner rush before you've had coffee.
  • You find out about an overtime violation after it's already on the timesheet.
  • Nobody can tell you if Wednesday needs 4 people or 6 until it's already wrong.

None of that is a staffing problem. It's a visibility problem.

How it works

A simple plan, not another system to learn.

  1. Staff set their own availability.
  2. Pali IQ builds the schedule around it automatically.
  3. Ask it about forecasts, coverage gaps, or compliance risk, whenever you need to.
  4. Get a weekly rundown of where you're over- or under-staffed, before it costs you.

Sample data

Sample conversation with the Pali IQ copilot

You ask: How busy will Saturday dinner be at Downtown?
Pali IQ answers: Based on the last 8 Saturdays, expect about 185 transactions between 5-8pm - roughly 22% above a typical weekday dinner rush. I'd add 2 extra crew on register from 5-7pm.
You ask: Who can cover the 5-9pm gap tomorrow?
Pali IQ answers: Jordan M. and Casey L. are both available and under 32 hours this week. Jordan has closed 5 times in the last month, so I'd start there.
You ask: Any overtime risk this week?
Pali IQ answers: Alex R. is projected at 41.5 hours after Thursday's shift - 1.5 over the weekly cap. Swapping Friday's opening shift with Sam T. brings them back to 38.

No more guessing

Ask for demand in plain language and get 15-minute interval predictions grounded in your actual sales history.

Gaps filled first

Spot coverage gaps before they become callouts, and rank the best available staff member to fill an open shift.

Compliance, automatic

Catch overtime risk and break violations automatically, backed by a searchable index of your labor rules.

Stop finding out about problems after they've already cost you a shift.

Start the week already staffed right.
