Smart Suggestions

Not just data. Direction.

SecondChef recommends what to actually do — like pausing low-performing dishes on Uber Eats, or boosting staff for Friday’s heatwave. No dashboards. Just clarity.

👋 Heads up! This Friday’s heatwave is forecasted to hit 97°F — expect a spike in cold drink + salad demand.
Suggest boosting prep for Lemon Iced Tea and Chopped Chicken Salad between 11AM–2PM.
🚨 Also: Truffle Mac & Cheese has underperformed on Uber Eats all week — 3.4⭐ avg, 22% drop in orders.
Recommend pausing it on delivery platforms through Sunday and highlighting best-sellers instead.
Good catch. Let’s run the cold specials and pause the mac now.
Done. Menu updated, team notified. Let’s make Friday cool and profitable 🧊💸

Effortless Execution

From insight to action — without lifting a finger.

Approve with a tap and SecondChef makes it happen: update your menu, pause delivery zones, notify staff, or tweak social media promos — all handled.

🚨 Heads up — delivery orders to ZIP 11222 have been running late for 3 days straight.
Drivers are averaging 27 min drop-offs vs your 18 min SLA. Customer ratings are dipping below 4⭐.
I recommend temporarily pausing that zone on Uber Eats and notifying the FOH team to reroute calls.
Approve & Execute
Done. Orders rerouted, zone paused, and team alerted. Let’s protect your ratings 🔒📈
