For independent restaurants
Rotas, hours, stock, hygiene, margins: Popote does the sums and keeps the logs while you run the place. You know what every plate earns, hours go to payroll without recounting, and the hygiene inspection no longer worries you.

Take the tour
Popote's real screens, with the data of a demo brasserie. No sauerkraut was wasted while taking the screenshots.
When you arrive in the morning: yesterday's figures, what's waiting for a decision and the status of each area, on a single screen. The coffee, however, you still have to make.
The whole team's week, prepared from the template week, with the hours and the cost of each day. No more crossed-out schedule taped up by the locker room.
The chef's space: stock counts, orders, recipes and hygiene, with what's left to do today.
Popote suggests the quantities to order based on the last stock count, supplier by supplier. No more “we're out of cream” at 7:45 pm.
The food cost of each recipe and its margin, calculated from purchase prices. The tiramisu has no secrets left.
Temperature checks, cleaning schedule and deliveries: the HACCP log fills itself in with a tap. The inspector can drop by whenever they like.
Revenue for the day, the month and the year, compared with the same periods, with payroll alongside.
The reservations book, with online booking and requests to confirm. Even the table of twelve booked the night before.
In the whole team's pocket
On their phone, everyone finds their tasks for the day: their schedule, the stock to count, the hygiene checks. And your guests read the online menu in their own language, allergens included.
Before, and with Popote
- The schedule A spreadsheet sent as a photo to the group chat, changed three times during the week.Prepared from the template week, published, everyone sees it on their phone.
- The hours Timesheets to recount at the end of the month.Clocked on the tablet, ready for payroll.
- The stock count Counted on paper, copied out the next day, when someone remembers.Counted on the phone, area by area; the stock value follows.
- The orders “Is there any cream left?” on the phone with the chef, at 7:45 pm.Quantities suggested from the stock count, supplier by supplier.
- Hygiene The HACCP binder filled in from memory the day before the inspection.Checks recorded throughout the day; the log is ready.
- The figures Z reports in a shoebox.Sales and the till counted; any difference shows up straight away.
A day with Popote
From the morning delivery to the evening cash-up, everyone does their part at the right time, without a single sticky note on the cold room door.
Deliveries arrive
The commis checks in the order on their phone, records the products' temperature and prints the use-by labels.
Fridges are checked
Cold room, freezer: one tap per unit. The HACCP log fills itself in, without hunting for a pen that works.
The team clocks in
The tablet at the entrance serves as the time clock. Late arrivals and missed clock-ins are reported to management; the excuses stay in the locker room.
The order goes out
Popote suggests the quantities based on the last stock count, before each supplier's cut-off time.
Service begins
Tonight's reservations, tables to confirm, allergies noted: front of house has everything on the tablet.
The till is counted
Cash, cards, meal vouchers: any difference with the day's sales shows up straight away. And everyone gets home a little earlier.
The next morning
The owner opens “Today”: yesterday's figures, what's waiting for a decision, the status of each area. Before the first coffee, even.

Frequently asked questions
Do we need to install anything?
No. Popote opens in the browser, on a computer, tablet or phone, and can be added to the home screen like an app. The only thing to plug in: the tablet that serves as a time clock at the staff entrance.
Does everyone see everything?
No. Each person has their own access: an employee sees their schedule, their hours and their area's hygiene; a chef manages their area; management sees everything, figures included.
We already use another scheduling tool.
Popote imports your team and your schedules from an Excel export (from Skello, for example), so you can start without re-typing everything.
What if the chef doesn't like screens?
We've thought of that. Everyone only sees what concerns them, and every screen has to make sense in ten seconds, between two tickets. We train the team on site: usually, the chef comes round the day they no longer have to recount the cold room by hand.
Where is our data?
Each restaurant has its own space, hosted in Europe and backed up every day. Management access is protected by two-factor authentication. It's a little safer than the binder sitting on top of the freezer.
