Every downstream number — plate cost, servings, waste risk, margin floor — stands on this record. That is why the Ingredient Master is the foundation of Dynamic.ly, not a background feature: reviewed once, remembered forever, corrected with a full audit trail.
Economics and waste defense
Know what changed—and what it puts at risk.
Deterministic rules do this math — costs, floors, servings, eligibility. AI explains it. Nothing is presented with fake precision: every number carries its evidence state, and stale sources are labeled stale.

Manager-ready actions
The few actions that matter today.
Not a feed. Not a dashboard to interpret. Each Action Card is a source-backed recommendation with its reason and estimated impact — prepared, bounded, and waiting for a human decision.
Action card · anatomyAwaiting approval
Move 12 salmon plates through Thursday dinner
- Why
- 14 servings expire Friday; cost up 8.1%; Thursday 6–9 pm historically sells salmon at 74% of capacity.
- Impact
- Estimated $137 waste avoided · margin floor stays protected at every bound.
- Sources
- INV 4821 · Ingredient Master · inventory count · recipe costing — every line traceable.
Approvethe action runs exactly as bounded
Editadjust the bounds before it runs
Rejectdecline it — the reason stays on the audit receipt
Ignorelet it expire, no consequence
Every decision writes an audit receipt — who approved what, when, on which evidence, and what actually happened after.
How it works
One loop, from paper to approved action.
01
Sources
Invoices arrive. Inventory and sales stay in view.
02
Ingredient Master
Vendor language resolves into reviewed restaurant truth.
03
Economics
Deterministic rules recost plates, servings, and floors.
04
Action
Risk becomes a bounded, source-backed Action Card.
05
Approval
A manager decides. The outcome is measured and audited.
For restaurants
Built for the nights margin actually moves.
Waste and expiry
BuildingProtect margin before inventory becomes waste.
Perishables carry a clock. Dynamic.ly is building the reviewed quantity and expiry signals that prepare a bounded move before the window closes.
Recipe and cost drift
Pilot foundationKnow when a dish stops protecting its floor.
Ingredient costs move weekly; menus move quarterly. Every invoice recosts every plate, so drift is visible the day it starts.
Slow windows
VisionTurn weak demand into a controlled, manager-approved move.
Quiet dayparts are margin leaks. The vision is a bounded, floor-protected action — only when a manager says so.
Manager control
Pilot foundationEvery consequential action stays explainable, reviewable, and reversible.
AI parses and explains. Deterministic rules do the math. Your manager holds the only approve button in the loop.
The demand side
Future · not liveDynamic.ly finds the opportunity.
Happily brings the demand.
Happily is a consumer discovery surface for New York diners. In the future loop, a manager-approved Dynamic.ly action can become a bounded Happily offer — published only after approval, measured on the way back. Not coupons. Not leftovers. A controlled answer to a slow window.
- Approved Dynamic.ly action
- Bounded Happily offer

- Claim or redemption
- Measured response returns
Trust and measurement
Margin intelligence has to prove itself.
We publish no pilot outcomes yet, because none are confirmed. These are the numbers Dynamic.ly is built to measure — pilot restaurants watch them build from their own data, labeled honestly at every stage.

No consequential action runs without a human decision.
Deterministic math
Costs, floors, servings, and eligibility come from rules, not model guesses.
Source freshness
Every figure shows where it came from and how old it is.
Confidence taxonomy
Estimated, evidence partial, confirmed, needs review — stated, never implied.
Audit trail
Who approved what, when, on which evidence — permanently.
Estimated vs confirmed
Projected impact and measured outcome are never mixed.
The pilot
Bring the invoices.
We’ll show you the missed actions.
A pilot starts with your real paper — recent invoices, your menu, and a Square export if you have one. No dashboards to learn first.
