· Built for Restaurant Groups
CIQ supports restaurant groups operating across multiple brands, locations, revenue channels, and point-of-sale systems. It is also fully compatible with single-tenant restaurants.
· Configuration-Driven Multi-Tenant and Single-Tenant Support
CIQ uses a configuration-driven design to adapt the platform to each restaurant’s operating structure including restaurants, locations, revenue channels, meal periods and operating hours. Food groups and menu items. KPI forecasts, analytics and metrics per revenue channels and meals.
· Make faster, smarter daily decisions
CIQ transforms complex restaurant data into clear, actionable diagnostics, helping operators address priorities today instead of waiting for next week’s report.
· Save 3 to 4 Hours Per Day
CIQ saves managers several hours each day by eliminating the labor-intensive work of consolidating disconnected spreadsheets and manual reports.
· Daily POS and 3rd Party API Integrations
CIQ continuously ingests data from POS, labor, menu, staffing, and external partner systems, creating a reliable daily operating record without manual intervention.
· Daily Planning Brief
CIQ’s Daily Planning Brief helps restaurant operators prepare for the day with a coordinated view of expected demand, labor costs, and staffing needs. Meal-level forecasts for revenue, orders, and guests—supported by external demand factors such as city events and tourism—help managers anticipate busy and slower service periods.
Labor forecasts and staffing recommendations give teams a practical basis for aligning schedules and preparation with expected business, helping reduce avoidable costs while protecting service coverage and the guest experience.
CIQ brings priorities across sales, labor, server performance, and menu planning into one actionable briefing, reducing the time managers spend reviewing separate reports. Prioritized alerts, recommended actions, and meal preparation guidance help teams focus coaching, promote selected menu items, adjust kitchen workloads, and clarify responsibilities before the next shift.
This shared daily plan can improve coordination between managers, kitchen staff, and service teams, supporting more consistent execution, less waste, and stronger profitability.
· Increase Revenue and Margins
CIQ’s Sales Performance dashboard helps restaurant operators understand what is driving revenue and where attention is needed. By bringing sales, orders, guest counts, and average guest spending into one view, CIQ helps managers distinguish changes in customer traffic from changes in spending.
Separate meal views, combined with daily, week-to-date, and month-to-date comparisons, make it easier to spot declining performance.
CIQ turns sales results into actionable guidance through diagnostics, prioritized recommendations, and actual-to-forecast comparisons. Managers can confirm whether strong sales reflect sustained demand before changing staffing or purchasing. A 30-day trend chart tracks revenue, orders, and guest counts over time, supporting faster decisions, better resource allocation, and stronger performance.
· POS Agnostic Data Model
CIQ’s POS-agnostic data model integrates with any number of POS vendor APIs. Customers can therefore use CIQ seamlessly across locations running different POS systems.
This flexibility gives restaurant groups a consistent view of performance without requiring every location to use the same technology.
· Improve Labor Cost Management
CIQ’s Labor Performance dashboard helps operators manage a major expense without compromising service. It combines front-of-house, back-of-house, and total labor costs with labor as a percentage of sales to show staffing efficiency across meals.
Daily, week-to-date, and month-to-date comparisons highlight shifts in cost and productivity, helping managers spot overstaffing, investigate increases, and make better scheduling decisions.
CIQ converts labor data into actionable guidance with performance diagnostics, prioritized recommendations, and actual-to-forecast comparisons. A 30-day trend chart separates one-time fluctuations from recurring patterns and shows whether staffing changes are working.
By identifying cost issues and coverage gaps, CIQ helps restaurants control labor expense, maintain peak-period staffing, and improve profitability without compromising the guest experience.
· AI - RAG Vector Database
A Pinecone-powered RAG vector layer enables retrieval-augmented generation workflows, so CIQ can support context-aware AI assistants, semantic search, and grounded recommendations. This helps operators receive more relevant, reliable insights based on their restaurant’s data and operating context.
· Identify Top and Bottom Menu Items and Groups.
CIQ’s Menu Performance dashboard helps restaurant operators understand which offerings attract demand and generate revenue. Performance is analyzed by menu item, food group, and wines, giving managers visibility into both individual products and broader sales patterns.
Separate meal views highlight differences in guest preferences, helping operators refine menu selections, target promotions, and guide server recommendations to support higher sales and a more appealing dining experience.
Rankings by quantity sold and revenue reveal high-volume favorites alongside the strongest revenue contributors. Average selling prices, sales share, and prior-period comparisons help managers identify emerging successes and offerings that need attention.
These insights can support more informed menu placement, pricing reviews, and food and wine recommendations, while helping purchasing and kitchen teams align inventory and preparation with observed demand.
CIQ combines performance diagnostics with 30-day trend charts to help managers recognize sustained changes in product popularity and sales contribution. By tracking menu items, food groups, and wines over time, operators can evaluate promotional results, anticipate purchasing needs, and adjust preparation priorities.
This visibility can help reduce avoidable waste, improve product availability, and strengthen menu decisions that support revenue growth and overall profitability.

· Maximize Server Productivity
CIQ’s Server Performance dashboard helps restaurant operators strengthen sales productivity and identify opportunities to develop their service teams. Individual scorecards bring together hours worked, sales, orders, guest counts, and productivity measures, including sales per hour and spending per guest and check.
Separate meal views help managers assess performance within each service period, recognize strong contributors, and identify where targeted coaching could support higher guest spending and more effective use of labor.
Separate meal views, combined with daily, week-to-date, and month-to-date comparisons, make it easier to spot declining performance.
CIQ turns performance data into practical management actions by highlighting top performers, coaching opportunities, and productivity concerns. Prior-week trends and benchmark comparisons help managers spot improvements or declines and focus training where it may deliver the greatest benefit.
Prioritized recommendations support timely coaching, while successful servers provide examples for peer learning. These insights can help operators build a more consistent sales approach, track employee development, and improve revenue potential across the team.
