Decision Logic is advancing real-time restaurant management with Vitals and ShiftFlow, two tools designed to help managers identify and address operational issues during active shifts. Vitals provides 34 near-real-time metrics covering performance, labor, productivity and operational risk, allowing managers to monitor sales forecasts, overtime, productivity, voids and discounts. ShiftFlow complements these insights with a mobile workflow that organizes scheduled and unexpected tasks, including inventories, line checks, maintenance and closing activities. Together, the tools move restaurant management from retrospective reporting toward immediate action.
For restaurant operators, this approach can help standardize management practices across multiple locations while keeping managers on the floor rather than in back offices. ShiftFlow can also support faster onboarding by giving new managers structured guidance around recurring responsibilities. By connecting performance visibility with task execution, Decision Logic can help restaurant brands improve consistency, respond to problems earlier and strengthen accountability across locations.
