Business operating platform — restaurant vertical first

claire

A business operating platform, restaurants first.

In development

We are building claire in the open.

claire is in development. There are no live installs yet, so there are no screenshots or demos on this page — we would rather show you nothing than show you something staged. Joining the waitlist gets you early access when there is something real to try, and occasional progress updates as we build it. No spam, no sales calls.

THE PROBLEM

What claire is built to fix.

Most restaurant point-of-sale systems were not built for the way restaurants actually fail. A single internet outage can freeze every terminal in the building. Delivery platforms take a third or more of every order before the restaurant sees a cent. And the software that is supposed to run the floor takes days to train a new hire on, in an industry where three out of four staff will not be there next year. claire starts from those failure points, not from a features list.
