Real-time POS Data in Windsurf
Cascade pulls your daily stats instantly. You just ask for the numbers and it calls `get_revenue_report` to show you exactly what's hitting the register. It doesn't just read the top-line. Windsurf digs into specific transactions using `get_order` to clarify why a shift might be running behind.
Floor Plan Management for Windsurf
Stop guessing which tables are full. Windsurf uses `list_floors` and `list_tables` to build a live map of your restaurant's current occupancy. This MCP Server provides the context Cascade needs to visualize your floor. It maps the data directly so you can see your service gaps before they become bottlenecks.
Menu and Staffing Insights
Optimize your kitchen output by checking `list_menu_items` and `list_categories`. Cascade analyzes what's selling to help you plan your inventory. Keep track of your team by calling `list_employees`. Windsurf presents the roster so you can manage your front-of-house coverage without leaving the IDE.
