What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off
Automation for the routine. A person on every decision that matters.
The reliable spine
The non-AI spine is the sweep logic: theoretical-versus-actual food cost, pour-cost variance, commission and deduction checks against the agreed terms, and procurement price-drift and duplicate detection, each with a line-level trail.
Where AI helps
AI reads the messy source records, scanned bills, settlement statements and recipe sheets, and matches them so each suspected leak can be tied back to its bill, booking or settlement; it never owns the number, the approval, the promise or the decision.
Who signs off
A named person signs off anything touching money, stock, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.
