What is Reporting AI?

Reporting AI is Nova's natural-language analytics layer. Ask any operational or financial question in plain English — about a store, a daypart, a menu item, a server, a campaign — and Reporting AI returns the answer, the chart, and a citation to the underlying data row. Every answer is grounded; nothing is generated unsourced.

BENEFIT 01

Plain English in.
Sourced answer out.

"Why are voids up at store 412?" "Which day-parts under-perform vs forecast?" "Compare margin on burger vs salad over the last 8 weeks." Reporting AI answers each — with a chart, a written summary, and a link to the rows it pulled from.

BENEFIT 02

Insights you'd never have built a dashboard for.

Reporting AI surfaces patterns operators didn't think to ask about — and would never have built a dashboard to find. The dessert cart that outperformed the menu. The Wednesday lull that's actually a staffing problem. The server-section combination that lifts ticket 12%.

Proactive surfacing of anomalies and opportunities
Cross-module insights (e.g. labor × inventory × guest)
Per-location, per-brand, per-daypart granularity
Saved to Manager Copilot for follow-up actions

BENEFIT 03

Reporting that ops teams actually use.

Because Reporting AI works on the same data layer as POS, KDS, online ordering, loyalty and workforce — there's no data engineering between question and answer. Ops directors get the answer in the same conversation they were already having.

Zero data engineering between question and answer
Works in Slack, Teams, email, or Manager Copilot
Schedule recurring reports — "every Monday at 9am"
Role-based access — what a GM sees vs what a CFO sees

Real example — Bayou Bistro

Reporting AI surfaced that a dessert cart outperformed the printed dessert menu by 18% — generating $25,000 in incremental revenue at one location. The CEO didn't ask the question; Reporting AI surfaced the pattern from cross-channel order data.
