A Vision Bridging Empathy and Technology

DYNE's vision was rooted in the challenges the restaurant industry faced during and after the pandemic. During the pandemic, over 3 million jobs were lost, with many establishments turning to high-commission delivery platforms, further eroding their profit margins, and even a lot of them experiencing the worst case scenario by having to shut down completely. DYNE’s drive was not just to recover what was lost but to revolutionize the restaurant industry and operations, using AI and analytics, while providing these tools for business owners to be able make the most impactful and positive decisions by leveraging DYNE. And ever since DYNE’s been on its journey to solely achieve this!

A New Way Forward for Restaurants

The DYNE dashboard isn't just another tech tool, it's a partner for restaurant owners. It provides the much-needed relief of being able to focus on their culinary passions without the constant worry of adapting to new market conditions and demands. Restaurants using the DYNE dashboard reported a staggering three times profit margin growth, two and a half times new traffic, and a significant reduction in inventory costs and food waste together.

One of the standout new features of the DYNE dashboard is its generative AI marketing tool. It uses automated text from chatgpt, image generation from DYNE’s own internal models, and even auto-scheduling of marketing based on customer demand analytics. By being able to gather all the online reviews together, these tools allow your campaign to use the ideal content and ideal image according to your customers’ analytics. This powerful feature allows even restaurants without a dedicated marketing person/team to launch effective marketing campaigns that attract new customers while also focusing on retaining the existing ones.

Additionally, the dashboard utilizes vast data, tracking over 100,000 people's location, event, and foot-traffic data per province and state across North America. Thus, offers insights into where a restaurant's target demographics are in order to best target them specifically, minimize marketing costs, and witness the new traffic that is brought in. 

Beyond the new marketing features, DYNE's supply chain AI optimizes and automates operations, from dynamically pricing menu items in different times of the day, to allowing the perfect number of staffing and never having to worry about being under or overstaffed with demand forecasting, to reducing inventory costs alongside the food waste that is coming out of a restaurant.

As Johnson, Founder of the Van Tech Journal, states in the interview, “It all sounds like a great example of how people and businesses can leverage AI, not to get rid of people but to really augment people and really augment human power”.

The Impact Beyond the Restaurant Industry

The dashboards' new features and tools aren't limited to just restaurants or even the hospitality industry. From nightclubs and law firms to urban planning projects, businesses across various domains are able to use the power of the DYNE dashboard to their business’ benefit and transform their operations. In these challenging times marked by labor shortages and inflation, DYNE offers a tool to reassure business owners that so much more can be done with very little and that their decisions can be instantly impactful, positive, and significant for their business. It is an exciting time as one thing that started with solely restaurants is expanding and affecting all other types of businesses’ and people's lives positively.
