Restaurant software for multi-unit groups and chains
Sturgeon's Enterprise plan puts every location on one platform: sales, labor, and guests rolled up across the group, and locations compared side by side. Your group's data is never pooled with other businesses or used to train shared models.
Where the day goes wrong
Five rooms, five versions of the truth
Each location reports in its own way, from its own spreadsheet, on its own schedule. Comparing them takes someone's week.
Problems that hide in the average
A group-wide number can look fine while one location's labor or food cost drifts. You need to see the outlier before it becomes the norm.
Standards that depend on who is closing
Opening lists, line checks, and sign-offs get done differently from room to room, and nobody outside the room knows which.
What Sturgeon does about it
- AI consultantAn AI consultant for your restaurant, not a chatbotStu answers from each location's live sales, labor, purchasing, and guest data: who is heading into overtime, which vendor raised prices, what to order.
- Food cost & wasteRestaurant food cost you can trust: recipes, waste, and live inventoryFood cost computed daily from recipes, POS sales, invoice prices, and logged waste, so a location that drifts shows up the same week.
- Checklists & tasksRestaurant checklists and tasks that find their ownerThe same opening lists, line checks, and nightly sign-off in every room, with clock-ins reconciled against the schedule before payroll.
- Review managementRestaurant review management that knows who wrote the reviewReviews from every location in one inbox, each matched to the visit, with replies drafted and waiting for approval.
- BookkeepingRestaurant bookkeeping that reconciles itselfInvoices read, categorized, and matched to the payment in the bank feed, so the books stay reconciled through the year.
The Daily Flash rolls up sales, labor, and guest data across locations while letting you drill into any single restaurant.

Questions
How does Sturgeon work across multiple locations?
Sturgeon rolls up sales, labor, and guest data across locations while letting you drill into any single restaurant. Operators running two to a dozen rooms use the same Daily Flash to compare performance side by side.
How much does the Enterprise plan cost?
Enterprise pricing isn't published. Contact us to talk about your group and we will go through it against your own locations.
Is my group's data kept private?
Yes. Your data is never pooled with other businesses, never used to train shared models, and never sold.
Does it work with the tools each location already uses?
Sturgeon connects to Toast, Square, Clover, 7shifts, Sling, MarginEdge, OpenTable, Resy, and SevenRooms through OAuth and API keys, so each location keeps the systems it runs today.
