Cait, by AMP11

The AI Shift Manager
for Restaurants

Run better shifts. Keep better people.

Cait works alongside the person running the shift to help them understand what happened, what matters now and what needs attention next — so they can spend less time chasing information and more time leading their people and running the restaurant.

Better-enabled managers don’t just create better employee experiences. They build stronger teams, more consistent operations and healthier restaurant economics.

The Problem

The shift asks a lot of your managers.

They may be dealing with a call-out while helping a new hire, responding to an equipment issue, answering a policy question, handling a guest concern and trying to piece together what happened on the last shift.

At the same time, the information they need is often scattered across systems, texts, conversations, binders and memory. That leaves the manager to connect the dots while keeping both the people and the operation moving.

We built Cait for the person carrying the shift, because the manager carries both the people and the operation.

Without Cait
— Managers react to problems as they surface
— Knowledge lives in binders, texts and memory
— Coaching happens if there’s time left over
— Risk is found after it’s already cost you
— Leadership quality shifts shift to shift
— High stress, high turnover
With Cait
+ Managers anticipate issues before they escalate
+ Knowledge is instant, grounded in your SOPs
+ Coaching happens naturally, in the flow of work
+ Risk is surfaced early, while it’s still fixable
+ Consistent leadership, every shift, every manager
+ Confidence grows, retention improves
Cait, In A Real Shift

This isn’t a dashboard. It’s a conversation.

No logins, no menus to dig through — a manager talks to Cait the way they’d talk to a trusted co-manager, and Cait already knows the business.

Cait Logged the callout and flagged tonight’s count for James to reconcile at open. This is Maria’s 2nd late no-show this month — want me to loop in your AGM before you build next week’s schedule?
Manager Yes. And remind me what the walk-in temp policy is.

What if your managers
didn’t have to carry everything
in their heads?

Cait is the AI Shift Manager designed around the pace and reality of restaurant operations. She brings people signals, operating context and the operator’s own knowledge closer together in one conversational experience — helping managers understand what matters and act on it without stepping away from the shift.

Cait isn’t generic AI with a restaurant prompt. She is grounded in each operator’s SOPs, policies, operating knowledge and restaurant context, so the information she provides reflects the business the manager is actually running.

Designed to be voice-first and available in English and Spanish, Cait is built for the way restaurant work really happens: quickly, conversationally and in the flow of the shift.

Capabilities

She gives managers one conversational place to:

Know what matters now

Get answers in the moment

Make the operator’s SOPs, policies and operating knowledge easier to access when questions come up.

Capture what matters

Preserve notes, observations and important context without relying on memory or leaving the floor.

Lead the team

Create more room for the coaching, recognition and check-ins that strengthen the employee experience.

Make the next shift smarter

Carry important context from one shift to the next so every handoff builds on what came before.

The Point of Difference

Everyone else stops at getting people in the door. Cait is the only one live in the shift.

System of Entry

Recruiting platforms

Get candidates hired. Once someone’s on the schedule, their job is done.

System of Communication

Engagement apps

Keep employees talking and informed — but don’t help anyone run the shift itself.

System of Coordination

Restaurant ops software

Schedule labor and track the numbers, after the fact, from behind a screen.

System of Execution

Cait

The only one actually in the shift with the manager — deciding, coaching and capturing signal in real time.

Our Philosophy

The manager is still the hero.

Cait doesn’t replace the judgment, leadership or human connection that make a great restaurant manager great. She helps managers carry the shift without having to carry all of it alone.

She is designed to create capacity for the manager to lead, not another system for them to manage.

AI is the enabler. Better shifts are the point.

The Cait Shift Loop

Every shift should make the next shift smarter.

What happens during a shift shouldn’t disappear when the manager clocks out.

Every shift creates signals about the team, the operation and where friction may be beginning to build. Through the Cait Shift Loop, questions, observations, handoffs, coaching moments and recurring issues can become useful context rather than disappearing into texts, memory or the end of the day.

Cait helps managers act on that intelligence in the moment while giving operators the opportunity, over time, to see patterns that traditional systems often separate or surface too late.

Better context. Better continuity. Smarter shifts.

Built with restaurant operators… not from the outside looking in.

Cait is now entering live restaurant environments with a select group of Founding Operators.

We’re putting Cait into real shifts, measuring what creates value and continuing to strengthen her alongside the managers and operators who know the work best.
