Most clients are live within a month. 1. 1 ### Learn how you operate We study how your floor and locations run before anything is switched on. 2. 2 ### Connect your POS Read-only. We sync with the systems you already run. 3. 3 ### Model each location Each location gets its own model, trained on its own sales patterns. 4. 4 ### Managers get prompted Plain-language WhatsApp prompts, timed to the shift or business day. FAQ ## Questions about YooDoo Other tools went unused. Why is this different? Nothing new is asked of managers. Prompts are short, in plain language, and take one tap to confirm or adjust. Managers keep the final say. Our POS data is messy. Will this still work? Yes. The models are built for real operational data, gaps and inconsistencies included. We calibrate each location separately, so perfect data is not a prerequisite. How soon will we see results? Prompts start as soon as your POS is connected. Every response is measured against what actually happened, so results build up location by location. Can we pilot this with 2 to 3 locations first? Yes. A global food brand began with a pilot. We will help you pick the right locations for a meaningful test. Is YooDoo required? No. YooDoo is a separate brand and one way to receive the output. Every service is also sold on its own and delivered into your existing systems. Can we see what managers do with it? Yes. Every response is measured against what happened, and corporate sees every store. ## See what your managers would receive tomorrow morning.
