NEW / THE 3.0.2 OPERATIONS UPDATE
More of the shift.
In one place.
The latest pilot update brings the details that usually get left on paper into RushHelm. Deployed to the online pilot.
NEW IN 3.0.2A cleaner handoff.
A cleaner handoff.
A clearer record.
Leave a dated note for the next shift. Resolve it when it’s handled, or reopen it when it needs another look. Earlier open notes stay visible.
Record wasted items, quantities, reasons and optional costs. Incorrect entries can be voided while retaining their history.
- Dashboard summaries of saved shift data
- Open handoffs carried forward
- Waste costs with missing costs clearly identified
MORE CONTROL OVER PREPGetting low?
Getting low?
Record what goes on.
Add daytime beef batches with raw pounds and the time put on. Track Cooking, Ready or Cancelled status so an unfinished batch isn’t shown as ready.
Adjust the overnight sales cushion for that business day. The forecast recalculates from the sales baseline and measured leftovers.
Batch totals are not remaining inventory. Daytime additions do not automatically increase LO or overnight ON. New days default to a $300 cushion.

LIVE PERFORMANCE / EXAMPLE
Every hour tells a story.
Live TPLH = Orders ÷ employees entered for that hour.
TRANSACTIONS PER LABOR HOUR5.00
At target.
In the pilot, two consecutive completed hours below 5.0 prompt a staffing review. A manager checks minimum crew, stations and upcoming demand before making a decision.
10PM REVIEW / EXAMPLE
Plan tonight for tomorrow.
OVERNIGHT BEEF / ON52.53 lb
Rounded up to the next hundredth of a pound.
ON = max(0, (forecast sales + cushion) ÷ $38 per pound − LO). The pilot uses finalized sales from tomorrow’s weekday last week, or a manager’s override.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Before the next shift.
Is RushHelm connected to our POS?
Not yet. The pilot uses manual entries and supported XLS report uploads. Authorized POS integration is on the roadmap.
Does RushHelm decide who goes home?
No. Staffing prompts help a manager review Orders, labor productivity, minimum coverage and expected demand. Managers make the decision.
What does the beef calculation mean?
The pilot uses $38 of sales coverage per raw pound, a selected sales baseline, measured leftovers and a daily cushion. It is a planning aid, not a count of sandwiches or a food-safety instruction.
Can I buy a subscription today?
Early-access pricing is $49 per location per month; planned standard pricing is $79. Request access to discuss availability. Checkout is not connected and no payment is taken here.
