Orbit for restaurants
Know what to fix this week.
Orbit reads your point of sale, bookings, schedule and books, then tells you what to do next in plain words, with the number that backs it up.
You have plenty of dashboards. None of them says what to do on Wednesday.
Orbit reads all of them and gives you one thing to do.

Orbit reads your numbers every morning.
It connects to the systems you already use and copies in the new data overnight. Each morning an AI agent compares it with your own history, notes what changed and writes up the moves worth making. The same checks run for every restaurant, and every number shows how it was worked out.

How each one worksA Chrome extension that keeps Toast connected.
Toast Tables only lets a signed-in person in. The Orbit extension works from your own Chrome, where you’re already signed in, so Orbit never needs your password.
- Keeps Toast signed in.It renews the sign-in on its own, and opening any Toast page renews it too.
- Tells you when something breaks.If a connection drops it pops up, and keeps reminding you until it’s fixed or you pause it for two days.
- You choose where Toast syncs.On Orbit’s server, so it works with your computer off, or in this browser only.
- One click to connect.Press Connect in the extension, confirm in Orbit, and you’re done.
