    The Free Signal Kit

    3 free tools to see how AI interprets your restaurant

    Guests experience the restaurant. AI reads its signals. These three tools show you what those signals currently say — before another order goes somewhere else.

    Start with the Guest Read. It takes a restaurant name and a city. Nothing else.

    Guest Read

    A free read of what AI already believes about your restaurant — who it's for, when to recommend it, and what it gets wrong. Think of it as a mystery shopper for AI. No email, no account.

    A neighborhood bakery whose listings described it as a coffee shop. The people looking for exactly what it sells were being sent elsewhere. Published anonymously.

    I study how AI interprets restaurants.

    These three tools are the same ones I use before I say a word to an operator. Take them, use them, and keep them. If you want the corrections written for you afterward, that's what the Signal Correction Plan is for — but start here.
