AI store manager

Reggie

The store manager who walks your store every morning, by the numbers.

An AI store manager from Idle Work. Reggie reads your register, your books and your bank, and tells you what to do about what it finds, over the chat apps you already use.

Reggie is $50 a month.

Your morning brief

Before you open, you know what the day needs.

Every morning Reggie goes through yesterday by the numbers and sends you a few plain sentences: what sold, what needs you, and what it has already got ready. This is a morning at Sterling Market, a store we made up to show it.

ReggieSterling Market · 7:02 AM
Good morning. Yesterday: $4,210 net on 612 sales. Register data as of 6:40 AM.
Register 2 ran 14 voids on the evening shift, over your line of 6. Worth a look before tonight.
Pull today: 7 items expired overnight, 5 of them in dairy. The pull list is ready.
Order before Thursday's delivery: 18 items will run out before the next truck. I drafted the order.
Dead stock: $2,340 is sitting in 41 items that have not sold in 60 days. Want me to draft a markdown that keeps your 25% margin floor?
9 items fell under your margin floor after last week's cost increase. A price preview is ready for your OK.
Your retail license renews November 14. That is 50 days out.
Yes, draft the markdown.
Drafted: 41 items, none under your 25% floor. Nothing changes on the register until you say OK.

What Reggie handles

The jobs nobody has time for until they cost money.

Expiry and pull lists

It keeps the dates your register does not, and tells you each morning what to pull.

Running out

Reorders timed to your delivery days, so the order goes in before the shelf is empty.

Dead stock

What is sitting, how long it has sat, and the cash tied up in it.

Prices and margin

Anything below your floor, anything below cost, and every cost increase you never passed on.

Sales and flyers

It plans a sale from what is not moving, and drafts the flyer when you say yes.

The till

Voids, refunds, discounts and no-sales by register and by shift, and cash over or short.

The books

Daily sales to QuickBooks and deposits matched to the bank, when you connect them.

Dates that matter

License renewals, sales tax, scale certification. You hear about them before they are due.

Four levels

It starts by watching.

  1. Step 1

    Watch

    It reads the register, the books and the bank, and tells you what it sees. It changes nothing.

  2. Step 2

    Suggest

    It tells you what it would do and why, with the numbers, and leaves the call to you.

  3. Step 3

    Act with your OK

    It gets the change ready and waits. Nothing happens until you say yes.

  4. Step 4

    Act within your limits

    Inside the limits you set, it gets on with the job and tells you what it did.

You raise each one yourself, one at a time, in the app. Reggie can suggest it is ready. It can never raise its own.

Price changes on the register always need your OK, at every level.

Setup

It connects to the register you already run.

No new register, no new system for your staff to learn.

On each register

  • One small program, run once on each register.
  • It reads. It never rings a sale, voids, refunds or touches the till.
  • The connection is private to your store.
  • If a register goes quiet, it tells us within minutes.

From your dashboard

  • QuickBooks
  • Your bank
  • Your email
  • Your Instagram and Facebook

Connect each one when you want Reggie to use it. Nothing is connected until you do it.

Hard limits

What Reggie will never do.

At every level, whatever else you turn on.

  • Ring a sale
  • Void or refund a sale
  • Open the cash drawer
  • Move money
  • Change a price without your OK
  • Text a customer who did not opt in
  • Tell a customer it is a person
