Questions owners ask
Does the costing workbook handle yields?
Yes. Every ingredient has a yield, so trimmed brisket and peeled avocados cost what they really cost per plate.
Do the logs follow the Texas food rules?
Yes. The temperatures follow the Texas Food Establishment Rules, and each log names the rule it covers.
Can the AI office take orders during the rush?
Yes. It takes phone and WhatsApp orders, reads them back and sends them to your team by text or email.
Is the menu template really bilingual?
Every layout puts English and Spanish side by side, ready to edit and print.
