Me. A claw. A Corona.
How many good ideas has your restaurant had this year that went absolutely nowhere?
The loyalty program you were going to set up. The follow-up text to first-time guests. The thank-you note to your regulars. The pricing analysis you keep meaning to do.
A no-show. A line cook calls in sick. The freezer makes a noise. Someone leaves a 2-star review because the music was too loud.
The good ideas tend to die on the vine.
Six out of ten first-time guests never come back. Even if they had a great time.
People just forget. That's what people do.
What if something noticed when a guest hasn't been back in 60 days and sent them a note? What if your biggest spenders got a personal thank-you every week — warm, human-sounding — without you doing anything?
Let's look at your restaurant →The ceiling isn't effort.
Restaurants almost always know what they should be doing. The follow-up text to first-time guests. The thank-you to the regulars. The pricing check. The cost drift that nobody caught until it was too late.
The problem isn't insight. It's that doing those things reliably, at scale, falls apart the second the week gets busy.
So I started building something about this. Two things, actually.
One is called the Brain. The other is called the Claw. I promise I didn't name them after a 1990s arcade game on purpose.
Not ideal for spreadsheets.
Think of the Brain as your restaurant's memory. The Claws are what it does with that memory — automatically, while you're running a restaurant.
Right now your ad data is in one tool, your reservations are in another, your POS is somewhere else, and your Google Analytics is in a tab you haven't opened since February. The Brain connects all of it. Ask your business a question and get a real answer instead of logging into six dashboards and squinting.
They plug into your tools. Follow up with guests who haven't been back. Flag when food costs drift past your targets. Send thank-yous to your top spenders. Answer the phone like someone who's worked there for years. They wake themselves up. They don't call in sick. They don't ask for a raise in January.
A guest spends $214 on a Saturday night. Great experience.
45 days pass. They haven't been back. The Brain notices.
The Claw sends a personal, human-sounding message — as if it came from your GM.
They rebook. No discount needed. You didn't lift a finger.
This is one Claw. There are many — and they compound.
Eight years of waiting for any of these tools to talk to each other.
Every tool you use keeps its data in a silo.
OpenTable won't talk to your email marketing. Your POS won't talk to your reservation system. Nothing talks to anything.
Eight years of doing this and it still makes me want to throw my laptop off a balcony at least once a month.
The Brain breaks the silos. Everything flows into one place. And then the Claws can use all of it.
I look at your restaurant and find the 3 biggest cost drains and the 3 biggest revenue levers. This is the "let me show you where the money is" conversation. It's free and it takes 30 minutes.

The cat never judged me. Not once. Perfect animal.
I'm Kyle. I run Guest Getter. I've been in the restaurant growth world for 8 years and I'm working with Anthropic — the company behind Claude — as a partner to bring this stuff to restaurants.
Gabe, who runs Chef On Call in Victoria, is on the team too. He's a restaurant owner and a client. He's also the one who convinced me the claw photos were a good idea. Jury's still out on that one.

The claw took her some getting used to.
She holds it now. We're engaged.
Giving birth to my first claw hurt.
