Ask your restaurant anything.

Connect an AI assistant such as Claude to Fresh and ask in plain words: what sold today, what is running low, which dishes nobody orders, which orders were late. It reads the same figures as your screens, and it cannot change a thing.

Questions you can ask

• “Show me today’s sales.” Sales, orders, covers, average ticket, the busiest hour and how guests paid.
• “What is the current stock of meat?” Any ingredient or category, and what is low or out.
• “Which items are fast moving, and which are dead?” Fast, slow and unsold dishes, with their margin.
• “How many orders were delayed today?” Orders past their due time, and tickets the kitchen took too long over.
• “What is happening on the floor right now?” Open orders, tables, tonight’s bookings and alerts.
• “Who is our best salesperson this month?” The team ranked by the orders they took.
• “Which purchase orders are still waiting?” And how this week compares with the last.

Ask about today, yesterday, the last 7 or 30 days, this week, this or last month, or any dates you name. “Today” is your restaurant’s own day.

The same numbers as your screens

The assistant does no sums of its own. Every answer comes from the same reports as your Reports and Insights screens, so what it tells you always agrees with what you see in Fresh.

Read-only, by design

Nothing the assistant can do changes, adds or removes anything the restaurant sells, cooks or charges. It looks; it never touches. The one thing it may write is a menu draft from photos, which sits apart until a person checks it and adds it.

Never more than the person who connected it

An owner or manager connects it from Settings › AI assistants, signs in as themselves and ticks what it may see: sales, menu, stock, kitchen, floor, purchasing, team, and cash and refunds (which only the owner can share). That is checked again on every question: change their role, take away a section or disconnect it, and the assistant’s access changes on its next question.

It is never given customers’ phone numbers or email addresses, and the team ranking has no pay. Sign-in uses OAuth, and Fresh keeps only a fingerprint of each key, never the key itself.

Your old menu in minutes

Typing in a hundred dishes is the slowest part of changing POS. Instead, photograph your printed menu, menu board or the old system’s item list. Give the photos to your assistant (“put this menu into my POS”), or use Import from photos in the Menu Manager. Fresh turns them into a draft: categories, dishes, descriptions, prices, sizes as a size choice, extras, and dietary and allergen notes. Watch the video.

You check every line

The draft opens on a review screen. Each line is marked new, already on the menu, on the menu at another price or needs a look when a price was hard to read. Add to menu stays off until nothing ticked needs a look, and an existing dish’s price changes only if you tick it. Changed your mind? Undo import works for 24 hours. Watch the video.

Connect it in three steps

1. In Fresh, Settings › AI assistants shows the address to give your assistant.
2. In Claude, Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector, and paste it.
3. Sign in to Fresh, tick what it may see, and press Allow.

It works with Claude on the web, Claude Code and other apps that support MCP connectors. Disconnect it from the same Settings page at any time.
