Top Focus Points: AI Analytics Built for Action

What it is

Actionability at a New Level

Our AI-Restaurant Analytics are industry trained to surface the core issues affecting your business from unstructured verbatim feedback – for better or worse. The new Top Focus Points enhancement takes our focus on outcomes and actionability to new levels: now, see the most impactful issues for your business ranked and summarized. Know where to focus to drive the change you want.

A survey results chart titled "Needs Improvement" lists six issues with corresponding vote counts and percentages: 1. Slow Service, 2. Missing Items On The Order, 3. Order Was Inadequately Cold, 4. Too Expensive, 5. Dirty Environment, 6. Insufficient Portions.

Why We Built It

Data is Great. Data with Direction is Much Better.

Got the time to sift through every review to figure out the biggest issues impacting your business? Unlikely. In fact, too much data and analysis probably leaves you feeling overwhelmed and with analysis paralysis.

You need to be told in a direct, clear and simple way where you need to focus and why. That way, you can spend all your resources, time and effort on taking the action required and driving your business forward rather than crunching the data.

How it Works

Restaurant-Trained AI For Restaurant-Specific Results

Top Focus Points adds an extra actionability layer on our AI Restaurant Analytics. It crunches the feedback you receive into more than 200 restaurant-specific themes and then ranks them in order of impact. For each of these categories, Top Focus Points identifies key data themes to enable you to understand the scale of the issue and generates an AI summary of all the feedback for deeper context.

  • Identify Key Improvement Areas: Pinpoint common themes to prioritize focus

  • Understand Winning Behaviors: Recognize and reinforce positive themes

  • Prioritize for Maximum ROI: Focus on high-impact problems at key locations to maximize returns

The most prevalent topic is called out, with "Slow Service" magnified with a "Needs Improvement" badge, with a notification that 3.7% of all feedback received cites this as an issue. A detailed AI generated summary expands on the underlying detail, highlighting delays and long waiting times.
