You’ve been running your restaurant on hard mode.
elaichi labs is the AI operating system that watches your sales, tracks your inventory, writes your schedules, and answers the questions you’re currently answering at 1am. Easy mode is real, and it’s almost here.
No spam. No credit card. First in line when the doors open.
First, meet the enemies.
You already know them. The invoice pile behind the register. The spreadsheet nobody trusts. The food cost number that changes depending on who you ask. The Saturday no-show at 7:45am.
You beat them every week. They respawn every week.
It’s not that you’re bad at this game. You’ve just been playing it alone.
You talk. It works.
elaichi labs isn’t a dashboard you check. It’s a manager you message.
Ask why Tuesday was slow. Tell it Sarah called out. Tell it to order for the weekend. It pulls the data, does the math, takes the action, and shows its work — and anything that touches money or people waits for your approval first.

One day with elaichi labs.
Five scenes. Every one is a real feature running in our cafes right now.
You wake up already knowing.
Yesterday's sales, today's forecast, what's running low, who's on shift — one Slack message, waiting before your first coffee. You didn't open a laptop.
6× tomato paste ..... $31.20 ▲ +18%
4× whole milk ....... $18.40
2× espresso 5lb ..... $84.00
Snap a photo. Done.
The produce delivery shows up with a paper invoice. Someone photographs it in Slack. elaichi labs reads it, updates inventory, logs the prices — and flags that tomato paste jumped 18% before it can eat a month of your margin.
Watch the rush like a live score.
Orders land and the dashboard moves with them — live sales, covers, labor cost against forecast. You see it while it's happening, not tomorrow morning.
"Write next week's schedule."
One sentence. elaichi labs drafts the whole week from your forecast, your team's availability, and your labor target. You move one shift and hit approve.
The day closes itself.
Sales reconciled, inventory burned down, labor logged, tomorrow's prep list drafted. The end-of-day report is in your inbox before the drawer is counted.
TUESDAY fainted.Labor 26.2%

STEAM SPIRIT learned CUSTOM REPORT!Your tools join the party.

We didn’t study restaurants. We run them.
elaichi labs was built inside elaichi co — our own three cafes, open right now, serving customers today.
Every feature on this page exists because one of our locations had a bad day. The invoice scanner exists because our invoices piled up. The price alerts exist because a supplier quietly raised our cream prices and we ate the margin for six weeks before anyone noticed. The schedule-writer exists because we were building Saturday’s schedule at midnight on a Thursday.
We’re the first customer, three times over.
$199 a month per location.
That’s the whole pricing page.
Everything on this page. Every feature we ever ship. Unlimited team members.
Less than one short shift a week — for a manager who works every shift.
At launch: 30-day free trial, no credit card. Waitlist members lock in founding-member pricing.
Side quests (your questions)
Do I need to be technical?
If you can send a text, you can run elaichi labs. No training, no manuals, no "implementation phase."
What POS do you support?
Square today, with more on the roadmap. Sales sync automatically — no exports, no CSVs.
What about my scheduling tool?
We connect to 7shifts and Homebase out of the box. elaichi labs reads your schedules and timecards and can draft new schedules right back into your workflow.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Your data is yours — encrypted in transit and at rest, never sold, never shared between restaurants. The AI works for you and only you.
Can the AI mess something up?
It asks before anything that matters. Placing orders, changing schedules, modifying data — you approve it first. Reading, reporting, and watching happen automatically; acting needs your thumbs-up.
How long does setup take?
Connect your POS, invite your team, done — most owners are live in under 30 minutes. elaichi labs backfills your history so you get insights on day one.
What if I have more than one location?
Even better. One view across all locations, per-location menus and pricing, and reports that compare them. It's how we run ours.
Final level: your restaurant, on easy mode.
Join the waitlist and lock in founding-member pricing.
Still no spam. Still no credit card.
