Toast, Square, and Clover integration: an AI back office on top of your POS
Sturgeon connects to Toast, Square, or Clover, reads your sales and closed checks, and puts an AI consultant on top of them. Your POS stays your POS; Sturgeon turns what it records into forecasts, daily food cost, matched reviews, and drafted work.
What Sturgeon does with it
Sales that Stu answers from
Stu reads your sales from Toast, Square, or Clover next to your labor, purchasing, and guest data. Ask what to order for the weekend and he checks the covers forecast, what is in the walk-in, and what the vendor charged this week before he answers.
Inventory that deducts itself
When a dish sells in Toast, Square, or Clover, its ingredients come off stock on hand, and counts reconcile against what the walk-in actually holds. No clipboard, no end-of-night tally.
Reviews matched to the check
To identify an anonymous reviewer, Sturgeon searches the last 90 days of closed checks in your POS, along with reservations from OpenTable, Resy, and SevenRooms, and shows the likely visit with a confidence score.
Where it shows up in Sturgeon
- AI consultantStu: an AI consultant, not a chatbotAsk Stu who should close Friday, what to 86, which vendor is creeping on price. He runs 30+ tools over your live data, and he doesn't just answer. He drafts the PO and, once you approve it, sends it.
- Recipes & inventoryRecipes that deduct stock as they sellLive stock and real measures on every recipe. Scale to any yield, convert to any unit, and let inventory deduct itself as items sell. No clipboard.
- Food cost & wasteWaste logging that corrects food costLog spoilage, comps, and overprep as they happen. Sturgeon subtracts them from what you bought, so food cost reflects what actually earned revenue, not what you paid.
- AI conciergeAva: an AI concierge, on the phone and in the inboxA guest calls. Ava checks your policies and the book, then either seats them on the spot or hands the call to a person, with the follow-up already on someone's checklist. The inbox works the same way.
- Checklists & tasksShift checklists and task assignmentEvery follow-up, punch exception, and line check becomes a task someone can pick up on their phone, with the manager's sign-off at the end of the night. Clock-ins reconcile against the schedule before payroll ever sees them.
- Live floor & sectionsAutomatic server-to-table assignmentWhen a table seats, the server already covering the tables around it takes it, never past an even split, with VIPs going to the best-scored server. Sections stay coherent all night, and one tap re-balances the whole floor.
- Online ordersEvery delivery app in one queueDoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub land in one list, each with what was promised and when. Confirm, start, and mark ready from one place, and every order puts itself on the kitchen screen.
- Kitchen displayA kitchen display with ticket timersOne card per dish, in three lanes: sent, fired, ready. Dine-in, takeout, and the POS share the board. Allergens are impossible to miss, and a card's edge turns amber at ten minutes and red at twenty.
Questions
Does Sturgeon replace my POS?
No. Toast, Square, or Clover stays your POS. Sturgeon reads from it and unifies it with your labor, purchasing, reservation, and review data into one live dashboard, as an operating layer on top of your stack.
Which POS systems does Sturgeon work with?
Toast, Square, and Clover. Sales and closed checks come from whichever one you run, with nothing to migrate.
How does Sturgeon connect to my POS?
With OAuth and API keys, on day one of the rollout. There is no data-migration project and no engineers required.
What does Sturgeon do with my POS data?
It runs your own Sturgeon instance with it, and nothing else. Your data is never pooled with other businesses, never used to train shared models, and never sold.
