Ask Team
Do we know what happened to Marco's final check?

I found something.

  • Brian: “@Daniel — do we have Marco's final check?”
  • There was no reply, and I couldn't find a follow-up task or manager note.

Looks like this is still unresolved.

Is there any wine info anywhere?

Yes. A few threads in Slack, mostly about cost, glassware, and how wine is supposed to run on the floor.

Performance / cost issue (#ops, Aug 27)
Wine came up as a high-cost category. The GM said they needed a call on it.

Wine glass saga (#purchasing, Dec 2025–May 2026)
The distributor couldn’t fulfill the 12.5oz glasses. Purchasing asked about alternatives.

Wine glass protocol success (#foh, July 13)
The closer said the new process was working.

    Kueso connects your documents, conversations, tasks, and operational records so your AI agent can work with your restaurant’s context.

The most expensive mistake is the one nobody documented.

NOTICE OF EMPLOYMENT CLAIM

Re: Alleged Workplace Harassment and Failure to Investigate

To Restaurant Management:

Our firm represents a former employee who alleges that she repeatedly reported inappropriate conduct by a supervisor to restaurant management.

Despite these complaints, our client alleges that no meaningful investigation was conducted and no appropriate corrective action was taken.

We request preservation of all relevant incident reports, manager logs, employee complaints, internal communications, investigation records, and documentation of corrective actions.

Sincerely,

Counsel for Claimant

What happens next should never be a mystery.

From the first incident to the final follow-up, Kueso helps your team keep the full story together.

An employee reported a safety concern near the kitchen. Log the incident and assign a follow-up to the closing manager.

You manage the restaurant. Kueso manages the complexity.

The cost of doing things the old way.

Less administration. More time running your restaurant.

What Kueso could give back

  • Management time recovered

    260–520 hours/year

    Potential annual time savings through streamlined restaurant operations.

  • Administrative time value

    $7,800–$15,600/year

    Those same hours valued at $30 an hour, not additional savings.

  • Operational accountability

    20–40%

    Potential reduction in overdue tasks through clear owners and follow-ups.

Questions? We've got answers.

Kueso is an AI workspace built for restaurants. It brings your restaurant’s knowledge, operations and team into one place so managers and staff can get answers, create work and keep the restaurant moving.

No. Kueso is built around your restaurant. It works with your recipes, SOPs, policies, files and operational knowledge—and turns conversations into useful actions across the restaurant.

Recipes, training materials, SOPs, employee handbooks, menus, operational documents and other restaurant knowledge your team already relies on.

No. Kueso is designed to work alongside the way your restaurant already operates rather than forcing your team to rebuild everything around a new system.

You can start using Kueso immediately. For early restaurant partners, we’ll also help bring in your restaurant knowledge and get your team set up.

Yes. Kueso is built for restaurant teams, so managers can work from shared restaurant knowledge instead of keeping important context scattered across people, messages and documents.

Kueso is free for your whole team to message, document and get work done. Kueso Pro is $49.99 a month per person and adds your personal AI and the tools to create and assign work. Try Pro free for 14 days. See Plans & pricing.
