Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to buy all 13 analysts?
No, they operate as a suite included in our AI tier. You simply turn on the ones relevant to your business type (e.g., restaurants use the Table Layout Analyst, retail uses the Planogram Analyst).
How does the Theft Detection Agent work?
It correlates voided transactions, open till events, and inventory discrepancies to flag suspicious activity for your review.
Can the Kitchen Efficiency Analyst really help speed up service?
Yes, by analyzing ticket times across different stations and shifts, it identifies bottlenecks and suggests prep adjustments or staffing changes.
Is this AI agent an add-on or included with SalesVu?
It is part of the SalesVu AI Workforce that ships with the platform. Your account team can confirm what is bundled in your specific plan and whether any optional modules apply.
Does it require new hardware?
No. It runs against the data already flowing through your SalesVu account. Same iPads, terminals, kiosks, scanners and printers you already use.
How long does it take to turn on?
Most operators enable agents during their onboarding session. Once your products, orders and locations are in SalesVu, the agents have what they need to start producing drafts and recommendations.
Does it work across multiple locations?
Yes. Agents are configured per-location and roll up to a corporate view, so a multi-site operator sees both the per-store drafts and the consolidated picture.
Where does the agent get its data?
From the SalesVu data layer — POS sales, eCommerce orders, Inventory on-hand, vendor history, CRM and loyalty events — all the operational data the platform is already collecting.
Will the agent ever take an action I have not approved?
By default agents draft and recommend; the human approves. You can later opt to auto-send specific actions once you trust the outputs.
Does this work for restaurants and retail or just one?
Both. SalesVu is one platform across retail, restaurants, salons, studios, venues and grocery, so the same agent works whether the SKU is a t-shirt, an entrée, a service or a class.
What analyst agents are included?
The Analyst suite includes the Profit Margin Analyst, Stock Shrinkage Analyst, PO Lead Time Analyst, Promotion Opportunity Analyst, Cross-sales Analyst and Theft Detection Analyst. They run on the previous week's data and surface a short Monday briefing.
How often do the analyst agents run?
They run on a weekly cadence by default, against the prior week's closed data, so Monday morning starts with a fresh read instead of a fresh count.
Do I get one report or one per location?
Both. You get a per-location briefing for the manager on the ground, plus a rolled-up view for the owner or regional lead.
Is the briefing a dashboard or a written summary?
A written summary. The agents do the synthesis — three to five things worth your attention this week, with links into the underlying data and pre-drafted actions where applicable.
What does the All-in-One Sales & Profitability Master Report give the analysts?
A single report that joins sales, cost, margin, employee, location and category. The analysts read it the way you would if you had three hours every Monday — except they have it every Monday.
What does the Most Recent Metrics Report do?
Live operational metrics (today vs. yesterday vs. last week) per location. When the briefing says 'lunch was 12% slower at the Westlake location this week', it's reading from this.
What does the Cost of Goods Sold Report do?
Per-category and per-SKU COGS on real landed cost. The analysts call out margin compression vendor by vendor, not just 'food cost is up'.
What does the Inventory Transfer Report add?
Where stock moved between locations and any discrepancy. Loss-prevention and rebalance findings get into the weekly briefing without anyone asking.
What does the Inventory Adjustment Report add?
Every manual adjustment with reason code and employee. Shrinkage trends surface in the briefing as a pattern, not a one-off.
What does the Below-Threshold Inventory Report add?
Items running below your set safety stock by location. The briefing can name the SKUs that will be out by Wednesday so you act before the customer notices.
