How to Automate Your Restaurant's End-of-Day Reporting

It's 11 PM. You're tired, you smell like the fryer, and the last thing you want to do is spend 45 minutes in a spreadsheet comparing three different reports to see if your labor cost was decent.

The EOD (End-of-Day) report is the single most important daily habit for a profitable restaurant, yet it's the most manual and painful. You're pulling a sales report from Toast, a timesheet report from Gusto, and a deposit summary from Sage. By connecting EPIC AI to all three, you can get a single, perfect report sent to your phone before you even lock the doors.

The "Single Source of Truth" EOD

The Problem: Your sales data is in Toast, but your labor cost is in Gusto, and your final bank deposits are in Sage. You have to manually cross-reference them to find the truth.

The Solution: Have EPIC AI do the work.

Prompt: "Every night at midnight, do the following:
1. Pull Total Sales, Labor Cost, and Comp % from Toast.
2. Pull Total Wages Paid from Gusto.
3. Pull the confirmed Bank Deposit from Sage.
4. Compare Toast Labor % to Gusto Wages.
5. Flag any variance between Sales and Deposit.
6. Send a summary to the #owners Slack channel."

Automate P-Mix vs. Inventory

The Problem: You know you sold 50 steaks, but you don't know if you *used* 50, 55, or 60. This is how food cost gets out of control.

The Solution: Connect your POS to your inventory sheets (even if it's just a Google Sheet).

Prompt: "Cross-reference last night's P-Mix report from Toast with the 'Steak' inventory in my Google Sheet. We sold 50 units. If the inventory depletion was more than 52 units, alert me."

Go Beyond Data: Get Answers

The Problem: Your EOD report just shows you numbers, not what to do about them.

The Solution: Ask for insights.

Prompt: "Yesterday's labor cost was 32%, which is 5% over target. Analyze the schedule. Was this due to overtime, or were we overstaffed during the 2-4 PM slow period?"

Result: "Your labor was high because 3 employees hit overtime, and the FOH was overstaffed by 2 people from 2-4 PM."
