Restaurant AI FAQ
TL;DR
No, restaurant AI does not need POS integration to work. Aedan Rose handles reservations, orders, and customer service through its own dashboard and mobile push notifications. Your team enters orders into your POS the same way they always have. Direct POS sync is on the roadmap but not required for the AI to be valuable.
What works without POS integration
All reservation flows — booking, modifying, cancelling, capacity rules.
All conversational ordering — fuzzy menu matching, modifiers, allergens, totals.
Payment via Stripe Connect direct to your account.
Operator dashboard + mobile push so your team sees every order in real time.
What POS integration would add
Direct ticket push to the kitchen display system, so your team doesn't re-key.
Inventory awareness — agent knows when an item is 86d without you updating it manually.
Closing reports tied to AI-driven revenue.
Why we don't fake POS integration
We hold the line on not claiming features we haven't shipped. Direct Toast / Square / Clover sync is real engineering work — it's on the roadmap, but until it ships, restaurants paying us deserve to know they'll re-key tickets.
