Project management software for restaurant chains

What a restaurant chain deals with

• Several openings at once: lease, fit-out, equipment, inspections, hiring — and everything has to meet on one date.
• Operations, marketing, IT and finance work in different spreadsheets and chats.
• Restaurant managers are on their feet all day and rarely sit at a computer.
• One late delivery shifts the inspection, staff training and the opening date.

How it works in Syntra

• Location opening template14 tasks from confirming the site and the lease to the fire safety inspection, a soft opening and the opening day, plus typical risks.
• Risks and budgetA risk such as “the equipment arrives late” with a response plan; the project budget as plan and actual, in hryvnias by default.Learn more →
• Meetings → tasksThe transcript of a meeting with a contractor becomes tasks with assignees and deadlines after one confirmation.Learn more →
• Telegram for managersNotifications, the morning digest and questions to the assistant in Telegram — no laptop needed.Learn more →
• Photos instead of retypingA photo of a whiteboard plan, a delivery note or an acceptance report — the AI reads it and suggests tasks or project data.Learn more →
• The chain’s portfolioEvery opening, refit and launch on one board by status, with trends and a report for the owner.Learn more →

Example: opening a restaurant in Lviv

The demo company tymko.tech is a fictional restaurant chain used in the Syntra screenshots. The chain is opening a flagship restaurant with 120 seats.

1. Start from a template.The operations manager creates the project Store Opening — Lviv from the Location opening template: the tasks are already laid out by date from today to the opening day.
2. A risk under control.The kitchen equipment delivery is late, so the risk has a plan: a backup fire inspection date and delivery confirmation by Friday.
3. The team in one place.Marketing prepares the opening day plan, IT the till and Wi-Fi, finance the pre-opening budget review: all are tasks of one project with different assignees.
4. The owner sees the picture.The owner asks the assistant “What threatens the Lviv opening date?” and gets an answer with links to the risk and the tasks.

Good to know

• Syntra is a system for projects and tasks, not a POS or sales or stock accounting: the till, the menu and food costs stay in your specialised systems.
• There is no Gantt chart: the order of work is set by task deadlines.
• Voice messages in Telegram are on the Enterprise plan; photo analysis from Starter.
