Pino AI: Ask Your Restaurant a Question

Pino AI is the copilot built into Kappino. Ask in plain language, such as "How did we do today?" or "What is running low?", and get an answer drawn from your own sales, orders, stock, customers, reservations and staff data.

What Is Pino AI?

Restaurant software holds the answers to most of your daily questions, but finding them usually means opening three reports and setting filters. Pino AI does that for you. Open it from any screen in Kappino, or use the ⌘/ keyboard shortcut, type your question and the answer appears in the chat.

Pino AI works on your restaurant's live Kappino data, not generic advice. It also answers how-to questions about Kappino itself, so new managers can ask how a feature works instead of searching the help centre.

Questions Pino AI Can Answer

Sales and revenue

Today's sales, sales history, month-by-month and year-on-year comparisons, and your best-selling dishes.

Forecasts

Revenue and demand for the coming days, with a confidence badge so you know how much to rely on each forecast.

Orders, tables and reservations

Orders by channel, delayed orders, table status and upcoming reservations.

Stock, suppliers and costs

Low stock and inventory alerts, suppliers, waste, expenses and transfers between branches.

Customers and loyalty

Top customers, at-risk customers and loyalty programme activity.

Staff and branches

Staff performance, today's roster and side-by-side branch comparisons.

Answers You Can Read at a Glance

Pino AI replies with KPI cards, tables and charts rather than long paragraphs, and shows the sources behind each answer so you can check where a number came from.

  • One-tap starter prompts: Today's sales, Forecast next 7 days, What is low stock?, At-risk customers, Compare branches and Give me a summary
  • Suggested follow-up questions after each answer
  • Answers in English, Italian, German, French or Spanish
  • Saved conversations you can reopen and rename
  • Thumbs up or down on each answer to tell us how Pino did

How Restaurant Teams Use Pino AI

Owners, before the day starts

Tap "Give me a summary" or ask "How did we do yesterday?" for a quick picture of the business, without opening a single report.

Managers, before service

Check upcoming reservations, today's roster and anything running low, so surprises are dealt with before the doors open.

Kitchen and stock

Ask what is low on stock, what was wasted this week or what you spend with each supplier before you place your next order.

Multi-branch groups

Compare branches side by side and spot the location that needs attention, from the same chat.

Built Around Your Roles and Permissions

Pino AI follows the same roles and permissions as the rest of Kappino. Pino AI is a module in the permissions matrix, so you choose which roles can use it, and answers stay within your restaurant's data and the branches each user can access. Asking a question never changes anything in your restaurant.

From Answers to Actions, Rolling Out Gradually

We are piloting actions in Pino AI, starting with booking a table from the chat. Pino checks your booking rules and availability, then shows a Confirm reservation card. Nothing is saved until an admin or manager clicks Confirm. This feature is rolling out gradually to restaurants.

Coming soon: the AI Voice Receptionist, which will answer the phone and take reservations, is in development.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Pino AI use my real restaurant data?
Yes. Pino AI answers from the data in your Kappino account: orders, sales, menu, stock, customers, reservations, staff and branches. Answers are built from that data and show their sources, so you can check every number.
Which languages does Pino AI speak?
Pino AI answers in English, Italian, German, French and Spanish, the same five languages as the Kappino staff app.
Can Pino AI change my data?
Asking questions is read-only. Booking a table from the chat is a pilot that is rolling out gradually, and even then nothing is saved until an admin or manager confirms the reservation card.
Can I use Pino AI on my phone?
Yes. Pino AI is available in the Kappino app for iPhone and Android, as well as in the web app on any computer or tablet.
Who on my team can use Pino AI?
You decide. Access is set per role in Kappino's roles and permissions, and each user only sees answers for the branches they are allowed to access.
