SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
Two altitudes. One operational control plane.
SIDUS operates at dual altitudes: continuous shift-level triage for store leads, and synthesized fleet-wide visibility for executive leadership — all bound by human sign-off.
Scoped Telemetry Ingestion & Normalization
Continuous connection to operational feeds across POS terminals, delivery aggregators, inventory counts, and staff communication channels.
Normalizes disparate telemetry (Toast POS sales, DoorDash modifiers, inventory logs) into temporal event streams.
Calibrates anomaly thresholds per location based on local seasonality rather than naive fleet averages.
Operates via least-privilege, read-only connectors with zero interference on in-store ordering.
Enforces deterministic stream ingestion latency to detect floor velocity shifts within minutes.
Floor Altitude: Real-Time Shift Triage
Proactive signal detection on the ground before anomalies compound into lost revenue or broken guest experience.
Detects morning run-rate imbalances, stockout spikes, modifier omissions, and delivery aggregator lag.
Constructs evidence-backed action cards (e.g. inter-store inventory transfer, aggregator promo toggle).
Dispatches 1-tap browser cards directly to store leads without requiring dedicated hardware or complex app logins.
Filters operational noise to surface only high-confidence shift interventions that protect customer throughput.
Fleet Altitude: Continuous Executive Briefing
Network-wide pattern synthesis and corridor comparisons delivered continuously, eliminating the standard Monday reporting lag.
Synthesizes multi-unit performance variance across metro corridors (e.g. Seattle Central vs. Eastside).
Correlates promotional effectiveness, labor pacing, and category margin trends in real time.
Replaces 40-page weekly spreadsheets with an actionable executive briefing stream.
Identifies systemic recurring store friction to inform regional operational playbook improvements.
Human-in-the-Loop Approval Safeguards
Deterministic execution boundaries ensure the platform proposes resolutions, while operators retain final authorization.
Every staged action requires explicit human approval before execution or communication.
Immutable audit trail recording what data was analyzed, why the action was recommended, and who approved it.
Role-based approval tiers ensure financial and inter-store decisions match organizational delegation rules.
Applies strict rollback boundaries and execution timeouts to guarantee operational safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does SIDUS replace our existing POS, inventory, or scheduling software?
No. SIDUS is designed to sit above your existing systems of record (such as Toast, Square, 7shifts, and Restaurant365). It correlates cross-system signals to detect operational drift and prepares human-approved actions without replacing your operational tools.
What is the difference between Floor Altitude and Fleet Altitude?
Floor Altitude evaluates shift-level transaction and delivery streams to catch localized stockouts and modifier lag. Fleet Altitude synthesizes corridor and regional performance continuously, replacing retrospective weekly spreadsheet rollups.
Can the AI agent execute actions without human oversight?
No. SIDUS operates under strict human-in-the-loop safeguards: it prepares the evidence and stages the proposed action, but execution requires explicit approval from an authorized operator.
What is the current commercial stage of SIDUS?
SIDUS is in early design-partner preview. Public interactive demonstrations use deterministic synthetic data to illustrate target product workflows.
