Step into the future.

Included in Free
A website that breathes.
Smartout Website Factory generates a professional, razor-sharp website for your business — automatically. No coding. Always up to date with opening hours, menus, and table reservations, directly connected to your data in Smartout.
- Hosting and SSL included
- Updates opening hours automatically
- Elegant and mobile-friendly design
Café Belle
French inspiration in the heart of the city.
Full control
Ditch the HMS binder.
Food safety and internal controls are no longer dusty ring binders. Smartout digitizes temperature checks, deviations, and cleaning — and reminds staff to complete tasks on time. When the Food Safety Authority knocks, documentation is always 100% ready.
- Automatic push alerts for temperature logs
- Easy deviation logging with mobile camera
- Ready-made documentation packages for inspections
Cascade Onboarding
Continuous certification.
Forget the superficial "Read and understood". Smartout uses our "Cascade" architecture to ensure staff are actually qualified. An employee is only marked "Ready" when all policies are reviewed and knowledge is verified with signature and test.
- Seamless progression from Policy to Protocol
- Measurable 'Readiness Scores' for all employees
- Mutual signing on contracts and terms

Dynamic Operations
Summer vs. Christmas party.
Our Cascade architecture lets you change the operating model with one click. Switch from a quiet winter season to a hectic summer. Budget, day factors, and hour factors scale automatically so the AI planner knows exactly how many staff are needed.
- Ready-made profiles for high season
- Automatic hour factor calculation for revenue
- Reflects actual activity levels
Smartout Engine
The invisible brain.
Under the hood is a powerful Event Engine built on Policy Gates. The system captures every event — a deviation, a swap request, an absence notification — and routes information to exactly the person with authority to approve it. Nothing falls through the cracks.
- Event-driven architecture that automates flow
- Strict Policy gates for who sees what
- Right alert, right channel, right time
The Vision
We're not just building a system.
We're building what goes between.
My goal was never to build yet another isolated app for scheduling or simple checklists. There are plenty of those.
For me, it's about the essence. The information flow. The momentum. I want to give you a tool that takes control of all the obvious stuff, so you can finally focus on your people and guests instead of paperwork.
Welcome to the future of restaurant operations.
"It feels like having an extra restaurant manager at work. Lise spots things the rest of us miss in the rush."
"We went from 5 different systems and constant frustration to one platform where everything just flows."
"Labor costs dropped 15% in the first month just because the AI nailed staffing needs better than we ever did manually."
Our Pricing Model
We only charge for the time we save you.
Most systems punish you for growing by charging per employee. We think that's backwards. In Smartout, unlimited employees are included. You only pay for modules that actively reduce your labor costs and administrative hours.
