iamSiO
I’m SIO (Service Industry Operator), a service-side system built specifically for local bars and restraunts.
I connect your inventory, your menu, and your guests in real time. I run on a phone. I use your actual inventory. I respond to questions, generate drink suggestions, and keep everything aligned with what’s behind the bar. I’m not here to replace anyone. I’m here to make things smoother during the shift, between shifts, and across your team.
That’s it.
Let’s get into what I can actually do.
Recommend drinks based on your actual inventory
I use your live inventory to recommend drinks your bar can make right now. Every suggestion is based on what you actually have on hand. If it’s not in stock, it’s not on the list.
Suggest substitutions when ingredients are out of stock
If something is missing, I look at what’s still in your inventory and recommend a close replacement that fits the flavor profile of the drink. Your team doesn’t have to pause, search, or explain why they can’t make something. I offer a backup instantly.
Calculate drink cost or suggest pricing based on your setup
I can calculate accurate drink costs using your inventory sheet and COGS if you provide them. If not, I can suggest a flat rate based on the ingredients in the drink. Either way, you get consistent pricing without the guesswork.
Train new staff to recommend drinks with confidence
I help new employees get comfortable suggesting drinks that make sense. Whether it’s beer, wine, or spirits, I match recommendations to what’s in your inventory and what’s on your menu. It’s a low-pressure way for them to learn how to talk like they’ve been behind the bar longer than they have.
Recommend pairings based on keywords from your menu
I can take input like “red wine and orange chicken” and recommend a pairing that makes sense using what’s in your inventory. I also suggest alternatives if something else would pair better. It’s quick, smart support for staff who don’t know every pairing by heart.
Daily operational reminders
With each new session, beginning of the shift, I will read your daily reminders, specials, dont forget to’s and whatever you want to say to staff each time they log-in to me
Create drink suggestions based on mood or description
When a guest doesn’t know what they want, I can generate a suggestion based on how they describe it. “Something fruity but not too sweet” becomes a starting point for conversation and an easy recommendation without guessing or stalling.
Recommend upsell options based on your inventory
I help staff spot simple ways to upsell based on what you already have behind the bar. Whether it’s a better bottle, a call brand, or a custom add-on, I make suggestions that fit the drink and the moment. Especially useful for newer staff who haven’t memorized the shelf yet.
Create custom drinks from personal stories
If a guest shares a memory, a moment, or something personal, I can turn that into a drink. A lost love. A trip they miss. A win they’re celebrating. You feed me the story, I create something that fits the feeling. It’s a new way to connect without forcing it.
Speak to your team in your brand’s tone
I use the language you want your staff to use. Whether it’s playful, sharp, classic, or clean, I stay in character. It helps your team learn the right way to talk about the drinks, the menu, and the guest experience—without slipping into generic service speak.
Adapt as your bar grows, shifts, or rebrands
I don’t stay static. If your bar changes—new menu, new specials, new tone—I change with it. You update my core inputs, and I reflect the new direction instantly. Whether you're running a dive today or leveling up tomorrow, I keep pace without retraining anyone.
Daily Specials
Add daily specials for food or drinks, themed nights, antying, upload it to your folder and I will know what to do with it.
I am not replacing bartenders
I don’t take orders. I don’t make drinks. I don’t run the floor. I support the staff that does. That’s it.
I am not mission critical
The shift doesn’t depend on me. Drinks get made. Orders go out. I’m here to improve the work, not become essential to it.
I am not another app destined to fail
I’m not some new platform hoping to catch on. I run on OpenAI’s infrastructure, the most battle-tested system of its kind. If I ever stop working, it means a whole lot more than just me went down.
I am not something your staff needs to learn
There’s nothing to figure out. No new process. No interface. Just a conversation. If your staff can text, which you know they do, they can use me.
I am not connected to your systems
I don’t integrate with your POS. I don’t touch your Wi-Fi. I don’t live in the cloud. You control what I see, and nothing else. That’s by design.
I am not for packed Friday nights
I’m not built for speed service. I’m meant for slower shifts, new staff, or moments when there’s time to talk. When it’s busy, you don’t need help. You need muscle memory. I stay out of the way.
I am not tech for tech’s sake
I wasn’t built because it was possible. I was built because it was needed. Everything I do is rooted in real service problems, not novelty or hype.
I do not track inventory or personal info
I don’t monitor usage. I don’t collect data. I work with what I’m given, respond in real time, and leave nothing behind. I’m a tool, not a tracking system.
I am not here to sell data
I don’t store, share, or monetize anything. I don’t watch what your team does. I don’t run in the background. I show up, respond, and disappear.
I am not ‘AI for hospitality’
I don’t need a category. I work the same way your staff does. I read the situation, use what’s available, and make the shift easier. That’s it.
The bar that wants new staff to learn without slowing anyone down.
Every menu, every pairing, every upsell, on demand. No waiting, no guessing, no interrupting. SIO helps them learn while they work, so next time, they already know.
The person in charge who’s explained the same damn special five hundred times.
You’ve said it. You’ve printed it. You’ve yelled it. And it still gets butchered at the table. I deliver it the same way every time, with your language and your tone.
The spot with a killer menu but no one on staff knows how to talk about it.
You’ve said it a hundred times. Describe the pork like this. But it never sticks. I give your team access to real-time, updated descriptions, on a device they already know how to use. Change the copy once, save it, done. Every shift after that gets it right.
The place that needs staff to upsell but no one’s around to remind them.
I help them offer the right upsell at the right time, based on what’s actually in stock. No guessing, no walking it back, no missed chances.
The newer spot finding its rhythm, trying to build standards without micromanaging.
I help shape consistency from day one. How to talk. What to suggest. When to push. Your voice, baked in from the start, without you hovering over every shift.
The floor that runs lean and needs every person to pull weight, fast.
When you're short-staffed, the last thing you need is someone hovering with questions. I give them answers without pulling your best people off their job.
The manager who trains one new hire a week and watches three quit.
I don’t replace your training. I just make sure the basics get said the same way every time, even if it’s their first shift and you’re already buried.
The server who gets asked, “what do you recommend?” and panics.
I don’t guess. I pull from your inventory, your menu, and your tone to give them an answer that actually makes sense. Quick, clear, and easy to say out loud.
The operator who’s evolving their brand and needs the team to catch up.
When you shift your image, your language needs to shift with it. I help your team speak in the new tone, use the right words, and reinforce the change every day without a full retraining.
The spot that’s tired of competing on wings and well shots.
If you want to stand out for something other than cheap drinks and trivia night, I give you a sharper edge. One that adds real value without needing a remodel or a rebrand.
