EmployeeThe fryer and drive-thru alerts sound the same.

When those problems never reach leadership, you keep paying for them. - ### Your busiest shifts hide costly slowdowns Missed handoffs and prep delays during rushes cost you orders and labor, but district visits rarely capture the full picture. - ### One store's fix never reaches the rest A GM finds a better way to reduce waste or speed service. Other locations keep paying for the same problem. - ### Your reports show the loss, but not the cause Rising food cost or ticket times tell you where to look. Your crews often know which processes need fixing. - ### Corporate decisions create costs inside stores Purchasing, delivery, and scheduling policies can increase waste and labor. Fixing them may require several departments. What Tell Jules does for QSR operators ## Find opportunities to serve more customers and keep more of every sale Your employees see where orders get delayed, food gets wasted, and unnecessary work eats into margins. Hear their proposed fixes and find out which improvements are worth pursuing. Speed up service Protect your margin Keep customers coming back Keep your crew ### Get more orders through the rush Slow prep and handoffs mean longer ticket times and fewer orders completed. Hear your crews’ ideas to move more orders through with the same staff. Illustrative employee response > “We lose four minutes every time grilled chicken runs out. We could change when we prep it, but nobody’s looked into it.” ### Cut the food and labor waste eating into margins Over-prepping, inconsistent portions, and poorly timed shifts raise operating costs. Find out what your employees would change to reduce the waste. Illustrative employee response > “Corporate’s Sunday prep numbers are way too high for our store. We throw out the same trays every week.” ### Fix the recurring problems driving guests away Late orders, missing items, and inconsistent service cost repeat business. Hear which problems crews see most often and how they’d prevent them. Illustrative employee response > “Customers keep complaining that their fries are cold. We’re filling them too early because of how the line is set up.” ### Reduce the cost of losing experienced employees Replacing good crew members means more hiring, training, and disrupted shifts. Hear what frustrates them and which changes might help them stay. Illustrative employee response > “We keep losing students because their schedules never get updated when classes change.” How Tell Jules works ## Hear from your entire operation, one seven-minute conversation at a time [See exactly how Tell Jules works](https://www.telljules.ai/how-it-works?hsLang=en) 1. 1 ### Choose who to hear from Start with one restaurant, a group of locations, or a corporate department.

What you get ## The problem, the proposed fix, and what it could be worth Every employee-suggested improvement comes with guidance on financial impact, risks, and the teams needed to investigate it, so you can decide which ideas deserve attention first. ![Tell Jules dashboard showing employee-reported problems store by store, with financial guidance, risk guidance, and suggested teams to involve](https://www.telljules.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Tell%20Jules%20dashboard-1.png?width=1274&height=672&name=Tell%20Jules%20dashboard-1.png) Swipe sideways to see the full dashboard. Built on Idea Harvest™ For decades, the Idea Harvest™ methodology has drawn on employees' firsthand knowledge to identify operational improvements. Tell Jules brings that employee-listening approach to your entire restaurant business. [Learn about Idea Harvest™](https://www.telljules.ai/idea-harvest?hsLang=en) For every level of the business ## Better-performing stores need better information from every department A late delivery, a purchasing decision, or an outdated corporate policy can create extra work in every restaurant. Jules hears from store crews and corporate teams, helping you identify problems that need several departments to solve. - ### Leadership Find recurring costs and improvement opportunities across stores and departments, so you can set priorities. - ### Operations and field leaders See which problems keep appearing, which fixes could help other stores, and where corporate support is needed. - ### The teams closest to the work Hear from procurement, distribution, warehousing, finance, HR, and restaurant crews about problems they see and how they'd fix them. FAQ ## The questions on every restaurant operator’s mind - ### How is this different from hiring consultants? The knowledge you'd pay consultants to find may already be inside your company. Consultants interview employees, analyze their findings, and deliver recommendations over weeks or months. Tell Jules goes straight to the people running your shifts, hearing their problems and ideas in about seven minutes each. You get firsthand insights without the lengthy and expensive consulting engagement. - ### We already have POS data, labor reports, and dashboards. How is this different? Your reports show where performance is slipping. Jules hears from the employees closest to the work about what's causing it, from prep routines and scheduling problems to broken handoffs. You get specific ideas to investigate behind the numbers. - ### Can't our existing scheduling and task tools do this? Those systems help your teams manage work. Jules gathers ideas about how that work could be done better, including inefficient processes, recurring workarounds, and policies that create unnecessary costs. - ### How is this different from a district visit or the annual GM conference? Stores naturally prepare for leadership visits. And even a great district manager can't observe every shift. Jules hears from employees doing the work every day, including the problems and ideas that rarely make it into a store visit or conference. - ### We already use employee surveys. Why use Jules? Surveys ask everyone a fixed set of questions. Jules asks follow-ups about what each employee reports, including what's causing the problem and how they'd fix it. You get specific suggestions to review instead of having to interpret broad feedback. - ### Can we hear from corporate departments too? Yes. Procurement, distribution, warehousing, HR, finance, and other corporate teams can participate. Their insights can help explain costs and operational problems that store employees can't solve alone. - ### Does this work for franchised restaurant chains? Yes. Franchisees and their employees can participate, with findings shared according to the access arrangements you establish. This can help identify recurring problems and useful ideas across participating locations. - ### Can employees speak confidentially? Yes. You can offer confidential conversations to make it easier for employees to share problems they might hesitate to raise directly. - ### Is our data secure? Jules doesn't require integration with your restaurant systems. Data access and deletion can be managed, and your agreement covers the commitment not to use your information to train AI models. - ### Do people need an app, account, or company email? No. People call a number or open a chat. There’s no app to download, no account to create, and no company email required, so your crew can take part even if they never touch a company system. - ### Does Jules work in multiple languages? Yes. Tell Jules speaks 55 languages and counting, so each person can talk in the one they’re most comfortable using and explain what they actually see instead of flattening it into a second language. - ### Will our crews actually take part? People take part because it’s easy and it’s theirs. Our clients' employees tell us they enjoy talking to Jules. It listens, asks real follow-up questions, and lets them explain what they see in their own words, and for many it’s the first time someone’s asked in a way that clearly goes somewhere.
