## Done — and proven. Every task, verified by AI.

**Tasks — the one that started it all**

Staff complete checklists with photo proof. Mays' AI vision checks each photo against the standard — labeled, dated, clean, stocked — and passes or flags it. No more "done" that wasn't.

- **Photo-proof checklists** for opening, closing, prep and cleaning
- **AI validates every photo** — instantly, on every shift, in every store
- **Full audit trail** — who, when, and the picture to prove it

![Mobile Task Detail screen showing an AI flagged-for-review banner on a submitted checklist photo](https://mays-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/site/tasks.png)

- AI check · Passed — Prep containers labeled & dated. Matches standard.
- AI check · Flagged — Sanitizer bucket missing from photo. Sent back to shift lead.

## Schedules built on real workload, not guesswork.

**Scheduling**

Mays forecasts labor from prepared-units-per-hour — actual prep work, not fridge pulls — so every shift is staffed for what the day really brings.

- **Drag-and-drop schedule** your managers actually enjoy using
- **Labor forecast** from real production data per store
- **Shift swaps & availability** handled in-app, not in group texts

## Know your cost per recipe — and where it leaks.

**Inventory**

Recipe-level COGS, theoretical vs. actual usage, variance and waste — and when counts run low, Mays drafts the reorder to your supplier automatically.

- **Counts on mobile** — fast, guided, per station
- **Variance & waste tracking** that shows where margin leaks
- **Auto-reorder** to suppliers when stock runs low

## New hires trained the same way, in every store.

**Learning**

Onboarding paths, recurring training and certifications — built for franchise rollout, completed on the phone between rushes.

- **Onboarding paths** per role — barista, shift lead, manager
- **Quizzes & certifications** with automatic renewals
- **Progress you can see** across every location at once

[Mobile walkthrough of the Mays Learning module — onboarding paths and certifications](https://mays-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/site/learning.mp4)

- Certified — Espresso basics — passed 9/10. Next: food safety renewal.

## The group chat, minus the chaos.

**Chat**

WhatsApp-level ease — but company-owned, searchable, and organized by store and topic. When someone leaves, the history stays with you.

- **Channels per store & team**, mentions, reactions, photos
- **Broadcasts** from HQ that reach every shift — with read receipts
- **Your data, your control** — not on personal phones' apps

## Every SOP, recipe and allergen — one question away.

**Knowhow**

Your knowledge base becomes something staff actually use: ask in plain language, get the answer with the source cited. No more "ask the manager."

- **SOPs, recipes, allergens** — versioned and always current
- **Ask anything** — answers cite the exact document
- **Feeds the AI** — the same knowhow powers your phone line

![Mobile screenshot of the Mays Knowhow assistant answering a staff question from the knowledge base](https://mays-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/site/knowhow.png)

- Answered from your SOPs — Nutrition, allergens and recipes — cited from the source doc.

## AI agents that run the back office while you run the floor.

Software that acts, not just records. Four autonomous agents watch every store, around the clock — and handle what they find.

### Catches theft before it's a pattern.

**Fraud Agent** · Autonomous

Watches voids, refunds, discounts and cash variance across every store — and flags the outlier shift to your operations director.

- → 23:14 · Store 12 · void rate 4.1× baseline
- → flagged shift · report sent to ops director

### Coaches in the manager's own voice.

**Coach Agent** · Autonomous

Reads task and performance data, spots who's slipping, and drafts the coaching note in the manager's tone — ready to send.

- → Mon · close checklist 71% two weeks running
- → coaching note drafted for review

### Calls the tech before the food spoils.

**Dispatch Agent** · Autonomous

Detects a freezer drifting out of range, opens the ticket and calls the technician automatically — the manager just gets the receipt.

- → 03:42 · walk-in at 46°F and rising
- → ticket opened · technician called · ETA 45 min

### Chases the late opening for you.

**Opening Agent** · Autonomous

Store didn't open on schedule? The agent calls the opener for an ETA — and escalates to the manager if there's no answer.

- → 06:52 · Store 4 not opened · opener called
- → ETA 10 min · manager notified

## The hundred small things, also done right.

All in the same app, on the same bill. The pricing page shows which plan includes each one.

### AI phone answering

Answers hours, directions and FAQs from your knowhow — so the shift never picks up the phone for it.

### Smart thermometers

Sensors open their own tickets — cold chain logged, audit-ready for the inspector.

### Digital menu boards

Push prices, items and dayparts to every store's screens from one place.

### Disputes & chargebacks

Guest complaints and payment disputes — logged, evidenced and resolved in one trail.

### Catering orders

The AI takes the catering call, builds the invoice, and routes it to the store to fulfill.

### Tip pool

Fair, transparent tip splits calculated from real hours — no spreadsheet fights.

## One flat fee per location. Never per user.

Add your whole team — baristas, shift leads, trainees — the price doesn't move. Pick Basic for tasks and checklists, or Pro for the whole shift, from scheduling to AI agents. One bill instead of five.

- Plans for one location or thousands
