Automated Reporting for Cline
Cline takes your commands and runs the math. It calls `get_revenue_report` to grab the numbers and writes them into a summary file for your manager. No more manual copy-pasting from the POS dashboard. Cline fetches the data, formats the report, and saves it exactly where you need it.
Table and Order Tracking in Cline
Manage your service flow by having Cline query `list_orders` and `list_tables`. It identifies which orders are active and which tables need attention. Cline processes these results to find patterns in your service speed. It gives you the raw data you need to adjust staffing levels on the fly.
Menu Engineering with Cline
Audit your offerings by listing your items. Cline uses `list_menu_items` to pull your catalog so you can analyze what's actually moving in the kitchen. It checks your categories and pricing structures. Cline helps you identify the high-margin items that deserve more visibility on your menu.
