Sound familiar?

A full room hides missed sales.
The wage bill hides the rest.

You can see the takings. You can see the wage bill. What you can't see is what each paid hour brought back, and who on the floor is making or missing the sale.

One NZ restaurant found $5,898 in a single week once it could see this. If your venue is anything like it, that's what every week of waiting costs.

01 / SALESWe're busy, so the sales must be there.

A packed room can hide a lot of missed sales. Venue totals don't show who needs help lifting spend per guest.

02 / ROSTERSI'll just cut a few hours.

Without a view of each shift, you risk cutting the wrong people at the wrong time, and losing sales you were making.

03 / COACHINGI've told the team to sell more.

A general reminder gives staff nothing to act on. Each person needs to know what to work on next shift.

The number you're missing

Revenue Per Hour.

Every hour you pay for should earn its keep. Revenue Per Hour shows what each one brought back, by shift, by department and by person. Upsel sets the target and tracks it live, against your own numbers from before Upsel.

Who we are

Built by a restaurant owner. For the people running the next shift.

Upsel is led by Billy, our co-founder and CEO, and a restaurant owner himself. That's why it's built around the next shift, not a month-end report.

We turn your sales data into personal coaching and smarter rosters that drive results every shift, every day. Today Upsel runs in venues across New Zealand and Australia.

FAQ

Questions venues ask us

Will Upsel work with our POS?

Upsel connects to Square, Lightspeed, Tevalis, Dnero and more, plus payroll and rostering tools like Xero, Deputy, PayHero and Droppah. If you run something unusual, we can build a custom connection. Bring your POS details to the demo and we'll confirm it on the call.

Does this mean cutting staff hours?

The aim is to match staffing to trade. Upsel shows where shifts were over or understaffed, and where staff can lift sales. Often the answer is better coaching, not fewer hours. Your manager decides what to change.

How much work is setup?

Very little. Our team connects your POS and payroll for you. You follow a short guided onboarding and you're up and running in about 20 minutes.

What does it cost?

Plans start at $79 USD a month for smaller venues. Most single venues use Core at $149 USD a month. Groups pay per site, and 10+ sites get custom pricing. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial.

Is there a lock-in contract?

No. Upsel is month to month, and you can cancel any time from your account.

Will my staff actually use it?

Yes. They get their own scoreboard, personal coaching and short training videos on their phone. When people can see how they're tracking, they want to move up the board.

Can we use it across several venues?

Yes. Upsel works for single venues and groups with many locations. You see every site in one place and compare them side by side.

Who will I speak with on the demo?

Billy, our co-founder and a restaurant owner himself. It's a 30-minute conversation about your venue, your team and where the money is being left on the table.

30 minutes with Billy

See what your next shift is really worth.

Answer four quick questions, then pick a time. On the call we'll look at your venue and show you:

  • Where your staff are making and missing sales
  • Which shifts aren't earning their wage bill
  • How Upsel connects to your POS
  • What a first month could look like for you
