Sales and transactions
Consolidate performance across locations.
For established and multi-location operators
Start each operating day with clarity.
For established and multi-location operators, Open Shop is preparing for a limited founding-customer release. Its flagship experience, Morning Brief, consolidates sales, labor, cash, weather, inventory, and location-level exceptions into one daily operating view. The purpose is to reduce the time owners spend gathering information so they can focus on understanding the numbers and managing the business.
