Know your prime cost today — not in three weeks.

ELAS is an AI platform that runs your restaurant group's back office — vendor invoices, food cost, labor, P&L by location — from delivery truck to bank deposit. You say the outcome. It does the work.

Start Risk-Free

Run ELAS across your real locations. If it doesn't pay for itself in 30 days, we refund every dollar.

The problem

You find out you lost money three weeks after you lost it.

It's Monday. There's a stack of invoices in a drawer at every location. Your accountant closes the books on the 20th. And nobody can tell you, right now, what last weekend's prime cost was. You don't have a restaurant problem. You have a paperwork problem at every location — and it compounds with every unit you open.

Time

Your managers are doing data entry

Invoice entry, inventory counts, and scheduling reconciliation done by hand, at every location, every week. That's GM hours not spent on the floor.

Visibility

Every location is a black box until month-end

Sales in the POS, invoices in a drawer, labor in a scheduling app, books in QuickBooks. Four systems, zero answers.

ROI

Prime cost is a postmortem

Food and labor cost show up on the P&L weeks late — after the waste happened, after the over-scheduling, after the price creep. Too late to fix any of it.

What you get back

What you get back

Not features. Points of margin.

10+ hrs
Per GM, per week

Invoice entry and reconciliation run themselves. Your managers go back to running the floor.

Daily
Prime cost by location

Food % and labor % every morning, not on the 20th. Catch the drift while it's a point, not a quarter.

14 sec
From question to answer

"Why is food cost up at Downtown?" — answered instantly: the vendor, the item, the price change, the invoice.

01 · Define

Say the outcome

Brief ELAS the way you'd brief a colleague: "Close the month and draft the invoices."

02 · Reason

It maps the work

One agent holds full context of your business — records, people, finances — and plans every step.

03 · Execute

It runs end to end

Across every ELAS module and your external tools — accounting, email, docs — with you approving the final call.

Compare

Your POS isn't an ERP. Your accountant isn't a dashboard.

Point tools each solve a slice. ELAS is the only platform where one AI agent connects sales, invoices, labor, and the books.
