Missed upsell opportunities, inconsistent order taking, and generic recommendations lead to lower average check values and suboptimal customer experiences. Staff often lack real-time insights to make the most profitable suggestions.
Dynapt develops a custom GenAI module that integrates with your POS and ordering channels (kiosk, drive-thru voice AI, mobile app). It analyzes real-time transaction data, customer history (if available), inventory levels, and even local trends to provide dynamic, high-margin upsell suggestions and personalized recommendations to customers or staff.
Leveraging your existing POS data streams and menu information, we train a compact Generative AI model to understand profitable item pairings and customer preferences. The solution can be deployed via API to your existing digital touchpoints or through a simple interface for staff, ensuring rapid adoption.

Corporate marketing creates generic campaigns, but store-level managers lack the time and resources to consistently produce engaging, localized content for social media, email, or local ads, missing opportunities to connect with their immediate community.
We build a Generative AI tool that takes your brand guidelines and central marketing assets, then combines them with store-specific information (local events, demographics, unique promotions, staff highlights) to draft a variety of localized marketing messages. Managers can review, edit, and deploy these in minutes.
Using a secure portal, your marketing team inputs brand assets and templates. We integrate with local data sources (e.g., event calendars, store POS for popular items). The GenAI then crafts draft posts, emails, and ad snippets, which can be pushed to a simple approval dashboard for local managers.
Reduce time spent on local content creation by up to 70%.
Increase local customer engagement and store traffic through relevant promotions.
Ensure brand consistency while allowing for tailored local messaging.
High employee turnover means constant retraining, and new staff need quick answers to operational questions without disrupting managers. Standard training manuals are often ignored or ineffective for on-the-job queries.
Dynapt creates a custom, conversational AI assistant accessible via headset or tablet. New hires can engage in realistic, GenAI-driven role-playing scenarios (e.g., handling a customer complaint, processing a complex order). All staff can ask the AI for instant, accurate information on procedures, recipes, or troubleshooting common issues.
We ingest your existing training materials, SOPs, recipe books, and FAQs. The GenAI is fine-tuned on this data to provide accurate, context-aware responses and simulate realistic interactions. The interface is designed for quick, hands-free use in a busy QSR environment.
Reduce new hire onboarding time by up to 30%.
Improve adherence to operational procedures and brand standards.
Increase staff confidence and reduce reliance on managers for common questions.

Inaccurate demand forecasting leads to overstocking (food waste and cost) or understocking (missed sales and unhappy customers). Traditional methods struggle with dynamic factors like weather, local events, or sudden trend shifts.
Dynapt develops a GenAI-powered forecasting tool that analyzes historical sales data, current inventory, supplier lead times, and incorporates external variables (weather forecasts, local event schedules, social media trends). It provides more accurate daily and even hourly demand predictions for key items, suggesting optimized order quantities.
We connect to your POS for sales data and inventory systems. The GenAI models are trained to identify complex patterns and correlations. The output is a simple dashboard with recommended order levels and alerts for potential stockouts or overstock situations, integrating with your existing ordering process.
Reduce food waste by 10-25% through more accurate forecasting.
Decrease instances of stockouts on popular items, improving customer satisfaction.
Optimize inventory holding costs and improve cash flow.
Manually monitoring and analyzing customer feedback across numerous platforms (social media, review sites, internal surveys) is overwhelming. Negative trends can go unnoticed, and responding takes too long, impacting brand reputation.
We create a GenAI solution that aggregates customer feedback from specified sources in real-time. It analyzes sentiment, identifies recurring themes (e.g., 'slow drive-thru,' 'love the new LTO'), and flags urgent issues. It can also draft personalized responses for manager approval, maintaining brand voice.
Using APIs to connect to review platforms and social media monitoring tools, the GenAI processes unstructured text. We fine-tune it on QSR-specific language and your brand's communication style. Insights and drafted responses are presented in a centralized dashboard.
Improve average response time to customer feedback by over 50%.
Identify and address critical operational issues faster based on real-time sentiment.
Increase positive brand perception through timely and personalized engagement.
