STINGER HOUSE
The night, on one screen.
House runs tonight: one next thing, a real pass, the floor, the bar, stock that does not leave until you send it, and a banquet count the kitchen can actually cook. A 40-seat restaurant, a neighborhood bar, a caterer and a hotel use the same rooms. House opens from Command Center.
What it is
The gap between "we sold it" and "the plate left the pass."
Avero tells you what the outlet did last night. Opera and Simphony take the money. Delphi sold the wedding. None of them run the night while it is happening. House does.
The rooms
What it does for you
Chair is your desk
Restaurant, rooms, banquets, bar, staff kitchen. Guests and food money in each, on one screen.
Bound is what you sold
Change the wedding from 80 to 60 and the kitchen list follows. Orders still wait for you to send them.
Front is the floor
What's off. Who is sitting. The walk-in at the door becomes a ticket to the floor, not a rumor.
The pass is live plates
Oldest first. If a room has been sitting twelve minutes, the house knows before the guest calls down.
Chef and Cage stay with the kitchen
You see them. You do not take them. Chef keeps Chef, and the pass is theirs.
Annabelle is in every room
Ask her which outlet runs short. She answers in the language of the floor, not a report. Opt-in, off by default.
Today, not last night
A "today" view of the shift as it runs, so the room reads what is happening now, not a recap after close.
New crew, on the floor fast
A built-in guide walks a new hire through the screens before their first shift. No separate manual to hand them.
A 40-seat restaurant
One dining room, start to finish.
Set tonight's guests on Today. Prep and Cage update when that number changes. Recipes shows what each dish costs to make against what it sells for, and flags the ones that cost too much. Prep builds the list for each station and pulls from the shelf. Front seats the walk-in, keeps the book and runs the waitlist, with an optional text to the guest. Write a note to the front, and the floor knows what is off before they greet a table.
House Today shows the Blue Water Pools and Outdoor Living sample kitchen, with waiting dishes and Plate or Send controls on the pass. Choose the next ticket during service, using its table and waiting time to check what needs attention.
The House floor brings walk-in seating, the waitlist and the chef's note together. Read the kitchen update before seating the next party, keeping the dining room and available tables beside the arrival details.
A bar or nightclub
The bar is its own room, and the shelf stays honest.
In Chair, the bar sits next to the restaurant with its own guests and money. Cage walks the shelf against the par you set and lists what is missing. Mark it found, or write it off. Type what actually came in, and the rest stays on the way. Cage drafts the order and copies a buy list for a text or email to the rep. Nothing is ordered until you press Send.
The House stock screen lists missing ingredients with the last named person and Found or Write off controls. Investigate the count before resolving an item, keeping each discrepancy tied to its shelf record.
Events and catering
Hold. Definite. Cook to. Pull.
The space is blocked, then the deposit is in, then the guarantee locks 48 hours out. Prep follows that number, not the hopeful headcount, and the count can go up but not down. Each party carries its room, its setup (rounds or a long table), its run of show, its diets, its extra plates and its cost per plate. Bound writes the list, and Cage still waits for Send. If banquet cuts at 4 p.m., they do it in Bound, not in a chain of emails. On the floor, Front shows each banquet drop until it leaves the room.
House Reservations lists parties with their status, cook-to count, extra plates, dishes and dietary notes. Review the definite event before pulling for the kitchen so preparation follows the agreed guest requirements.
The House party form is open above the seeded Reservations list, with service style, status and dish choices ready to fill. Enter and review the new event requirements before Save party; the open form has not created another reservation.
A hotel with several outlets
Rooms, outlets and the front desk on one board.
Front Desk shows every room's status and tonight's arrivals. Check a guest in, or check in a walk-in. Add a charge for dinner or parking, see the balance due, and run bill and checkout. Past stays stay on record. Chair shows each outlet: the restaurant, room service, banquets, the bar and the staff kitchen, with guests and food money in each. Room service tickets land on the same pass as the dining room.
The House Front Desk shows room status, named arrivals and check-in or checkout controls. Check the room before handling the guest's arrival or departure so the next action starts from its current state.
The House Front Desk shows the Okafor Family checked into room 104 with its bill open. Review the room charges and balance before checkout, with the screen distinguishing a recorded payment method from an actual card charge.
Your size, your rooms
A kitchen or a whole hotel. Same House.
In Settings, pick the shape of your house. A kitchen is one dining room, tonight's board, the shelf and a party if you have one. A hotel is the restaurant, rooms, banquets, the bar and the floor. Pick US or metric units. Pick a bright kitchen for a sunlit pass or a dark one for night service. Install House on an iPhone, an Android phone or a computer.
House Settings shows the account seat, kitchen or hotel sample choices and the room list. Choose the house setup before arranging its rooms, with the screen explaining that switching replaces the sample night's live counts.
Bring it in, take it out
Keep what you already run.
Bring in
Drop a CSV, a calendar or a House backup into Door. Their file shows on the left and what House will do shows on the right, before anything changes.
Send out
Take tonight into Toast, Delphi or OpenTable, or download a backup of the whole house as a ZIP file.
A screen on the shelf
Leave a kitchen screen on the shelf. It keeps watching the pass, and the line marks a plate as it leaves.
Same sign-in as Command Center
In Settings, House links to Command Center finance and to Bound. One sign-in covers both.
Opens from Command Center
Opens from Command Center.
House opens from Command Center, on the same sign-in. It comes with every Stinger plan. No per-seat charges. Add your whole team. See pricing.
Shared with Command Center
House shares real programs with Command Center.
Chair, Bound and Cage run inside House the same way they run inside Command Center, plus Chef, the kitchen's prep, recipes and stock side. Here is what each shared program does on each side.
Kitchen & stock
Waste, counts and orders, traced.
Waste and shortages
House records waste, lets you undo it, and corrects counts with checks, so a shortage is either found or written off on the record.
Replenishment orders
Orders draft by vendor from par levels and tonight's demand; marking one sent changes its status in House, and partial deliveries update stock.
Recipes on and off the menu
Recipes carry allergens and prices, and a dish can be taken off the menu or restored with one action.
Front of house
Tables, the waitlist and the party sheet.
Reservations, tables and walk-ins
Keep reservations, tables and table states on one board, and seat a walk-in or a waitlisted party from it.
Waitlist and guest texts
The waitlist quotes a wait and can ask to text the guest; texting stays off until it is switched on and a number is set up.
Party details
Each party carries its room options, contact, diets, run of show, guarantee and extra plates. A tentative hold cannot be pulled into prep.
Staff and the chef's note
Keep the staff roster and hours, and share a chef's note with the house.
Rooms, records & the board
Stays, checkout, printouts and what Annabelle can answer without a model.
Rooms, rates and stays
Set up rooms, nightly rates and room tax, and track each stay and its charges until checkout.
Checkout
Checkout records how the guest paid; it is a record in House, not a card charge.
Printouts and exports
Print tonight's card, party papers and recipe sheets, or export; exporting guest data asks for explicit approval first.
Saves protect the latest version
Saves belong to the signed-in house, and a save from an out-of-date screen is refused rather than overwriting newer work.
Annabelle answers from the board
Even with no AI key, Annabelle answers board questions such as free rooms, shortages, waits and covers; open conversation needs the AI switched on.
