ApexCountStand’s AI
Apex AI. Everything goes in. Nothing comes out without you.
It reads your whole restaurant and answers with real numbers. It can only propose a change. Your Confirm runs it.
01The figure
Every thread meets in one place.
Your data, two people and nine agents run into Apex. One orange thread runs out, and it stops at you.
- Reads
- Cut, or switched off
- A change, waiting for you
02Reads
Every number has a thread.
Apex reads the restaurant with your own permissions. A figure it can’t trace back to the data is dropped, and it says so.
03Never
Four threads are cut, on purpose.
Whatever the question, Apex never sees them.
- Guests’ phone numbers, e-mails and addresses
- Staff pay, payslips and payroll
- Passwords, PINs and tokens
- Another outlet’s data, or another company’s
04Agents
No agent moves money, changes a price or sends a purchase order without a person.
Seven read and report into Activity, each at its hour. Two are built and switched off.

05Ask
Two people hold the other end.
Owners and managers, each with their own permissions. Ask in your own words. Type @ for a table, a dish, a bill or a person.
06Propose
One thread comes out.
The AI can only propose. The server draws the card: now, after, and every place it lands. It waits ten minutes for you.

Four gates. The server picks one.
From a fixed table, never from the chat. A clever sentence cannot skip a PIN.

Paying a supplier, payroll, the GSTIN, the UPI handle on the bill. Apex shows the screen and the values to type. It can never run them.

Then everywhere at once.
The till greys the dish, the QR menu says sold out, and every kitchen screen shows the note.

12Watches
Five small loops. No AI inside.
“Tell me if a table waits more than 20 minutes for food.” Plain rules, checked every minute, so they cost no AI.

A whole job, braided into one approval.
“Set up a Diwali menu for this weekend” becomes a checklist of 2 to 20 steps. Untick what you don’t want. Your PIN, once.

Built on Claude, by Anthropic: Haiku 5.5 for everyday questions; Sonnet 5.5 for “why” questions, comparisons, plans and bill photos. A supplier’s bill photo is read once, held in memory for ten minutes and never stored. Chats are private to the person who wrote them, kept 30 days after the last message, and can be cleared.
15Questions
Questions about Apex AI and the agents.
CountStand’s AI: a chat panel in Management for owners and managers, opened from the header, with ⌘J on a Mac or Ctrl+J elsewhere. It answers with numbers from your own data, shows what it read, and draws every change as a card you confirm.
No. The AI can only propose. The server draws a card, and only your Confirm runs it, through the same door as the screen’s button, recorded as yours. Paying a supplier, payroll and the UPI handle on the bill are never done through chat.
Guests’ phone numbers, e-mails and addresses; staff pay, payslips and payroll; passwords, PINs and tokens; another outlet’s data, or another company’s.
Seven run in every plan, each at its hour: briefing.morning, inventory.stock_alerts, tech.device_health, pricing.menu_health, briefing.evening, fraud.patterns and proof.monthly_return. inventory.auto_orders and reconciliation.weekly are built and switched off for the launch. They read and report into Activity. Each holds an autonomy level from L0 to L5, climbed one gate at a time on its own 30-day record, and lowered by you at any time; no button raises one.
