What makes QuixSpec different?
You know your business inside and out. You can read a room, predict busy nights, and manage through any crisis.
But when it comes to the numbers that drive profitability – the real data you need for strategic decisions – most systems fall short.
- Industry-Specific KPIs: Get actionable key performance indicators that allow you to make data-driven decisions that drive profitability.
- Intelligent Forecasting: Most forecasting tools ignore hospitality realities. QuixSpec factors in weather patterns, local events, and industry-specific variables that truly move the needle.
- Weather Integration: Know exactly when that thunderstorm will cut patio sales or when perfect weather will boost outdoor dining traffic.
- Local Events Impact: Track how hometown playoff games, concerts, and community events affect your business and plan accordingly.
- Coming Soon: Complete Financial Picture: The only bar and restaurant-specific platform that analyzes both P&L AND balance sheet data for a complete financial health understanding.
- Coming Soon: Customer Feedback Intelligence: Automatically analyze customer reviews and social mentions to spot trends in service, food quality, and atmosphere.
