Susan French · Head of Operations and Service, Crust Bros

“Cash-up used to be the part of the night everyone dreaded. Now, one click on the till and we understand exactly what happened during service, close with confidence, and protect revenue.”

Matteo Iacoponi · Rooftop Manager, Boundary London

“You can really tell Hops has been built by operators. They understand our needs and provide a solution that is exactly what we want, instead of us having to adapt and change for a system.”

Dominique Fernandes · Head of Operations, Mildreds

AI health checks

Our AI questions your numbers. It never quietly approves them.

Every hospitality system claims AI now. Ours does one job: it reads what came in, compares it to what you agreed and what normally happens, and puts the odd ones in front of a person. It shows the numbers behind every flag, so you can disagree with it.

It flags

A price that moved without being agreed. An invoice already posted. A count entered by the case instead of the bottle.

It shows its working

Every flag carries the figures it used and where they came from, so you can check it rather than trust it.

You decide

It never adjusts a count, approves an invoice or changes a price on its own. Approval stays with a person, every time.

Anything that approves your money without asking is not a feature.
