Mays started where every restaurant problem starts — the checklist. We made staff prove every task with a photo, then AI verifies it on the spot. No more "I did it" at 11am, then sprinting to wash fruit at 12:30. No more "juice case is full" with empty shelves at the rush. The platform grew from there: AI IVR, smart thermometers, secure chat, RAG manager assistant, and tip pools that reward people who actually do the work.
Mays absorbs the 100 small operational fires your managers fight every shift — so they can spend their time on the guest in front of them, not the printer in the back.
Photo proof + AI vision means a "done" check in Mays is a real done. Empty juice case at 12:45 stops happening when the 11:30 task can't be closed without showing it full.
Crew earns tip share weighted by the work AI actually validated. Top performers stay; the people coasting on others' work feel it in their pocket.
When a task slips, the AI messages the employee in their manager's voice — same tone, same nicknames, same warmth. They listen because it sounds like the boss they know.
It started as a serious answer to "did anyone actually do this?" Now the same engine that validates a checklist powers calls, sensors, tips, training, and chat — all sharing context so nothing falls between the cracks.
Every task ships with a photo prompt and GPS stamp. The AI looks at the picture and tells you, in real time, whether the juice case is actually full, the line is actually wiped, the prep bins are actually labeled. Wrong photo? Task bounces back before the manager even sees it.
When a task is overdue, rejected, or a shift starts, Mays doesn't send a robotic system alert. It studies how each manager already talks to each employee — the nicknames, the tone, the inside jokes — and writes the message in their voice. Staff read it as a nudge from their GM, not a notification from an app. They actually act on it.
Spam blocked. Hours, address, and SMS directions delivered in 12 seconds. Active orders routed straight to the branch handling them. Regulars get their saved order taken without a human picking up.
Plug Govee sensors into your walk-ins and prep stations. The moment a fridge drifts out of safe range, Mays creates an assigned task with a photo prompt, GPS proof on completion, and a manager approval — all before anyone notices the spoilage risk.
Ask anything — "What's our allergen protocol on the curry?" "How long does the morning open take?" "What's last week's labor cost?" The assistant ingests your SOPs, menus, manuals, and live data via RAG, and answers with citations. Trained on your business, not the internet.
Familiar messaging your team will actually use — direct, group, voice, photo, location, document. The difference: when an employee leaves, their access ends and the conversation history stays inside the company. No screenshots smuggled out, no customer data on a personal phone.
Mays scores each shift on the metrics you set — task completion (validated by AI photo proof), attendance, customer ratings, sales-per-hour — then proposes a defensible tip distribution. Crew sees exactly why their share landed where it did. The reward is now tied directly to the prep getting done right.
