Episode Notes

Jasper de Vries, CTO and Co-Founder of YourBI, explains how restaurant operators can turn disconnected data into actionable business intelligence by creating a single, trusted source of truth across their technology stack. Instead of relying on spreadsheets, manual reports, or isolated systems, YourBI connects data from POS, labor, finance, scheduling, and other platforms to deliver real-time operational insights. Jasper shares how restaurant groups are using AI-ready data to improve upselling, automate financial reporting, identify operational opportunities, and give leaders faster answers through natural language tools like ChatGPT and Claude. By validating and organizing data before AI analyzes it, YourBI helps restaurants make smarter decisions with confidence while building a stronger foundation for future growth.

• Clean Data Makes AI More Valuable – Jasper de Vries argues that AI is only as useful as the data behind it. Instead of feeding language models disconnected or inaccurate information, YourBI validates, organizes, and contextualizes restaurant data from across the business so operators can trust the answers AI provides and make decisions with confidence.
• Operators Should Spend Less Time Reporting and More Time Improving – Too many restaurant teams still spend hours exporting spreadsheets, reconciling reports, and searching for answers. By connecting data across POS, labor, finance, scheduling, and other systems, YourBI automates reporting and surfaces insights that allow leaders to focus on coaching teams, improving operations, and growing profitability.
• Business Intelligence Should Support Better Hospitality – Jasper De Vries believes the most valuable insights come from combining operational metrics with the human side of the business. By connecting financial performance with guest experience, employee feedback, and operational knowledge, restaurants can identify changes that improve both profitability and hospitality at the same time.
