<p>In this episode, Jay and Dom talk with the team behind Pivot, a Montreal restaurant tech company that&#39;s actually built by people who&#39;ve worked in restaurants.</p><p>They get into one of the biggest headaches in the industry: scheduling, payroll, and trying to make five different systems talk to each other. The Pivot founders walk through how their AI scheduling works (it&#39;s literally one click), how tips and payroll sync up automatically, and why connecting your existing tools is way smarter than piling on more software.</p><p>Pivot basically acts like the brain of your operation—connecting your POS, reservations, and payroll so you&#39;re not chained to a laptop in the back office. More time on the floor, with your team, with guests. You know, the stuff that actually matters.</p><p>They also share some real numbers: restaurants cutting scheduling time from 12–16 hours a week down to under an hour. The whole conversation is about simplicity, not complexity—and why tech built by people who&#39;ve actually worked a Friday night dinner rush just <em>gets it</em> in a way most software doesn&#39;t.</p><p>Worth a listen if you run a restaurant, manage multiple spots, or you&#39;re just curious how AI can actually help day-to-day ops without making your life harder.</p><p>Learn more about Pivot : https://www.pivotapp.ca/en</p><p></p>
