AI Agents
F&B integrates 3 AI Agents that monitor food cost, kitchen throughput, and waste patterns:

|---|---|---|
| Food Cost Monitor | Compares theoretical food cost (based on recipes and sold quantities) against actual ingredient consumption; flags items with high variance | Daily |
| Kitchen Throughput Agent | Analyzes order volume vs kitchen capacity by time slot; identifies service bottlenecks and recommends menu or process adjustments | Daily |
| Waste Reduction Agent | Identifies ingredients with consistently high waste rates and recommends portion adjustments, prep schedule changes, or menu modifications | Weekly |
To enable or configure agents, go to Automation → AI Agents → F&B.
