AlgonixWe run the back office for cafés and restaurants.
Reviews and replies, invoices and cost-drift, one Monday report. You approve anything that reaches a customer.
What it runs
Named jobs. A human in the loop. Nothing posts or pays on its own.
Reputation Desk
Pulls your Google reviews, shows the themes and the sentiment, counts what went unanswered, and drafts an on-brand reply for a one-tap yes. Anything sensitive is flagged to a person.
Kills Reviews sitting unanswered, and the hours of writing replies.
Guardrail Every reply is human-approved before it posts.
Competitor Read
How you compare to the independents around you on rating, review volume, recency, and how fast they answer — plus a themes comparison from the public text. Shown privately, to you, about your own street.
Kills Guessing how the café two doors down is doing.
Guardrail Public Google metrics only. Observation, not a leaderboard.
Invoice Intelligence
Upload or forward a supplier invoice; it reads vendor, amount, line items, tax and financial terms, and a suggested GL code, then flags anything odd — a price rise, a duplicate, a wrong quantity — for review.
Kills Keying invoices in by hand and never spotting the creep.
Guardrail Nothing is paid or posted; it prepares, you approve.
Cost-Drift Watch
Tracks supplier prices across deliveries and alerts you the day a cost creeps up, before it eats the month’s margin. Sales history sits next to it, so a rise is read against what you actually sold.
Kills Silent price rises found only at the quarterly accounts.
Guardrail Alert-only; you choose what to do.
The Weekly Read
Every Monday, one plain-English page: takings, busiest hours, what moved, plus the invoice and review highlights. The Sunday-night admin, done for you.
Kills Assembling the week by hand from three places.
Guardrail It reports, it doesn’t decide.
One Thing That’s Yours
The narrow, repetitive job specific to your venue — chasing a supplier, drafting the newsletter, pulling a daily figure. We automate one more, human-checked.
Kills Whatever your team does 100 times a week.
Guardrail Scoped with you; nothing autonomous.
How it works
Connect, read-only
We link the inboxes and listings the work already lives in. Nothing is replaced, and nothing can be changed from our side.
It prepares the work
Invoices are read, reviews are drafted, the week is assembled. Oddities are flagged. Nothing is sent, paid, or posted.
You approve, it runs
A one-tap yes on anything that spends money or reaches a customer. The rest stays a report.
Everything that spends money or reaches a customer waits for your yes.
Where this is, honestly
Today we set this up and run it for you, per venue. As the features harden, they become a self-serve product you can switch on yourself — you’re an early partner, not a beta tester.
A pilot is how it starts. This page is what the fortnight converts into.
We run it on our own sites first
We run this on our own five-site London sauna company first — invoices, reviews, the weekly read — before we run it on anyone else’s.
See a sample — an illustrative review read, labelled as such.
Fair questions
Do you touch my booking or till?
No. Algonix sits above the till, the booking tool and the ordering site. Reviews we can read from public data. Invoices and the weekly read need read-only access you grant.
Is the reply really posted automatically?
No. Every reply is drafted for your one-tap yes. Nothing posts until you approve it.
Will my customers talk to an AI?
No. We automate the back office — invoices, reviews, reporting. Your customers get your team, exactly as now.
What if the AI gets something wrong?
It can’t act alone. Anything that spends money or goes to a customer is queued for your one-tap approval. Guardrails and spend caps by default.
Is this software I switch on myself?
Not today. We set this up and run it for you, per venue. As the features harden, they become a self-serve product you can switch on yourself — you’re an early partner, not a beta tester.
