Trellum is an operations system for local businesses. It keeps the inbox, the files and the point of sale in step, so there is one record of what happened.

A painted tree on a flowering hillside, the slope running out of frame under a wide blue sky.

Your business is spread across systems that do not talk to each other.

The point of sale knows what sold. The supplier invoices are in email. The prep notes are in a spreadsheet and the rest is in the owner’s head. Every question worth asking crosses at least two of them.

  • What ingredients am I selling the least?
  • Which supplier raised prices this quarter?
  • Can I staff a 50 person event on the 14th?
  • How much did the rain cost me last week?
  • How much did we comp last month?
  • What is my margin on the large size?
  • Why do I keep running out of strawberries?
  • What did I pay for avocados in March?
  • What do I need to prep for a 50 person booking?
  • Which items have not sold in 30 days?
  • Which hours am I overstaffed?
  • Which day do I run out of croissants?
  • How much oat milk do I need to order next week?
  • How many covers did we do during the street closure?
  • Which drinks sell alongside the breakfast bowl?
  • What is left in the walk-in that expires this week?
  • What is my food cost on the acai bowl now?
  • What did the gym partnership actually bring in?
  • Which items lose me money after food cost?
  • Which menu item has the worst waste?
  • Did the new smoothie cannibalise the old one?
  • Am I ordering too much cold brew?
  • Did the Saturday post move any product?
  • How many regulars came back this month?
  • What sold on the patio last Saturday?
  • What is my busiest hour on a Tuesday?
  • What is my average ticket on weekends?
  • What did we discount, and why?
  • How many bowls do I sell per bag of granola?
  • What should I take off the menu?

Trellum connects to those systems and answers from them.

It reads the point of sale, the inbox and the files, and keeps one record of what happened across them. Ask a question about last week and the answer comes from your own data. It drafts; you approve anything that leaves the building.

  • Can I staff a 50 person event on the 14th?

    CalendarPoint of sale

    94 redemptions since it started, with an average ticket 2.10 above your weekday average.

    Point of saleInventory

    The two items under 1 percent of sales that between them need five ingredients nothing else uses.

    Point of saleInventory

    62 litres. The last four weeks averaged 58 and there are two events on the calendar.

    Point of saleCalendar

    Invoices

    Point of saleCalendar

    Invoices
  • How much did we comp last month?

    312 dollars across 28 tickets, two thirds of it on one weekend.

    Point of sale

    Four, all on the cold side of the menu. Together they hold about 190 dollars of stock.

    Point of saleInventory
  • Am I ordering too much cold brew?

    Yes, by roughly one case a fortnight. You have thrown out 11 litres in the last two months.

    InventoryInvoices
  • What is my average ticket on weekends?

    18.40, against 14.10 on weekdays. The gap is almost entirely a second drink.

    Point of sale
  • What do I need to prep for a 50 person booking?

    Against your usual per head, that is 6 litres of base, 4 trays of fruit and an extra case of cups.

    CalendarInventory
  • Which items lose me money after food cost?

    The large acai bowl, at 41 percent food cost after the February price change on frozen fruit.

    Point of saleInvoices
  • What is left in the walk-in that expires this week?

    Three items, the largest being 4 litres of cream dated Thursday.

    Inventory
  • What is my busiest hour on a Tuesday?

    8 to 9am, at about a third of the day's covers.

    Point of sale
  • Which menu item has the worst waste?

    The seasonal bowl, at about 9 percent of prepped volume discarded.

    InventoryPoint of sale
  • What is my margin on the large size?

    Four points lower than the regular, because the cup and lid cost more than the price step.

    Point of saleInvoices

    Sunday, usually before 11am. You sell out on 3 of every 4 weekends at the current par level.

    Point of sale

    Cold brew, on 61 percent of tickets that include a bowl before 10am.

    Point of sale
