AI finance & operations for hospitality
Know your numbers, cut your costs, run your floor.

Everything an owner needs — nothing they don’t
One till. Every order.
Counter sales and Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat orders on a single screen — new orders ring out loud, one tap accepts with a ready-time, the kitchen ticket prints itself, and every sale feeds your numbers live. No more juggling three tablets. Card machine included.
Text your takings
WhatsApp your day in plain words — takings, covers, costs. Brigada logs it and replies with a confirmation. No laptop, no spreadsheet, no data entry.
A CFO that forecasts
It predicts next week's takings and your busiest days from your own history, so you plan ahead instead of guessing — and answers any money question instantly.
Smart rota
Build your week and Brigada tells you, day by day, if you're over- or under-staffed against expected demand — keeping labour on target.
Never over-order or run out
Stock that tracks itself as you sell, warns you before you run out, and sizes reorders to your sales trend to cut waste.
Catches overspend
Brigada flags unusual costs automatically, so a supplier never quietly overcharges you again.
Your whole team
Invite managers to run the floor — with zero access to your financials — and send rotas to staff and orders to suppliers over WhatsApp.
Private by design
Your numbers are yours alone.
Brigada is your restaurant’s internal book — not a data business. Nothing is shared, pooled, benchmarked or sold. Ever.
- 🔒 Each restaurant fully isolated
- 🇬🇧 UK GDPR, end to end
- 📤 Export everything, any time
- 🗑 Leave = deleted on request

Fair questions
Is my data private?+
Completely. Your numbers belong to your restaurant and nobody else — they're never shared, compared, pooled or sold. Every account is isolated, you can export everything, and if you leave we delete it on request. UK GDPR applies end to end.
Do I need to change my till?+
No. Brigada works alongside whatever you use today. Text your takings, scan the till's end-of-day report, or connect Square for automatic nightly import — your choice.
I'm not good with computers. Is this for me?+
Brigada was built for owners who run a restaurant, not a laptop. If you can send a WhatsApp message, you can run your numbers — the app does the accounting thinking for you.
What happens after the free trial?+
It's 30 days, no card needed to start. If you subscribe, it's one flat £49/month with every feature included — no tiers, no add-ons, cancel anytime. If you don't, your data stays safe and waiting.
Can my manager see the money?+
Only if you want them to. Managers get the ops side — rota, stock, tasks, orders — and can enter takings, but your financials, margins and forecasts stay owner-only.
