Authentic OS.The complete Operating System for pub groups.

Connect every pub from bookings, ordering, and service to people, stock, payroll, payments, and finance. Give site teams a clear plan for the day and show head office where the group needs attention.

The pub group reality

Every extra pub should add strength, not another layer of admin.

A pub group should gain shared knowledge, buying power, and clearer control as it grows. Disconnected systems do the opposite.

Bookings sit apart from service. Stock sits apart from sales. Labour sits apart from demand. Site teams fill the gaps by hand, and group leaders do not see problems until after the moment to act.

At each pub

Teams lose time joining up the shift.

The next action is spread across separate tools, messages, printouts, and spreadsheets.

At head office

Answers arrive after the moment to act.

Group reporting starts with exports and explanations instead of one clear, current view of the group.

Across the group

Good practice is hard to repeat.

Each pub repeats the same manual work, so one team's better way of working is hard to share across the group.

One operating picture

Run each pub locally. Run the group as one business.

Authentic OS keeps each booking, sale, shift, stock movement, payment, and close connected through the working day. Each pub sees what to do next, while head office sees one current view of the group.

Plan with live demand.

Bookings, events, rooms, and expected covers shape labour, prep, and buying across the group.

Serve with the right information.

Each pub sees the next action while head office sees where help is needed.

Close with confidence.

Bring sales, stock, labour, cash, and settlements together so finance gets the right numbers first time.

Improve across the group.

A lesson from one pub becomes a stronger plan for every pub, without removing local judgment.

Local action, group control

Let each pub serve its guests while head office keeps control.

Keep local character. Gain group control.

Compare the group, then check any shift, sale, booking, stock count, or account when a pub needs attention.

Set standards once and keep local judgment.

Share menus, controls, measures, and operating patterns while each team responds to its own guests, spaces, and service.

Keep operations and finance in step.

Use the same sales, stock, labour, cash, and settlement numbers from the first booking to the final close.

The whole pub group

One system for the work your teams do every day.

Keep guest demand, service, staffing, payroll, stock, and close in step, so every team can act on the same information.

Pub service

Take orders, manage tables and tabs, send food to the kitchen, and charge rooms from one place.

Table ordering and reservations

Fully integrated live table ordering and online reservations across menus, tables, kitchen flow, staffing, payments, and reporting.

People and labour

Rotas, time, skills, handovers, and labour cost against real demand.

Payroll

Turn approved hours, pay rules, tips, and adjustments into accurate pay, without entering the same data again.

Service analytics and staff scheduling intelligence

Link covers, service pace, shifts, and skills to plan the right team for each pub.

Stock and menus

Recipes, buying, counts, waste, availability, and group-wide price control.

Sales analytics and ordering intelligence

Use sales, events, weather, and stock data to plan demand and place smarter orders.

Bookings and rooms

Tables, events, rooms, deposits, pre-orders, and one shared calendar.

Money and close

Payments, cash-up, settlements, VAT records, and accounts that agree at close.

Group reporting

Compare sales, labour, stock, and profit across every pub in one place.

Why we are building Authentic OS

SimonFounder, Authentic OS

“As a pub group operator, I know this problem first-hand. My teams have had to enter the same information in booking, till, rota, stock, and finance systems. That takes time away from guests, creates avoidable mistakes, and leaves me waiting too long to see what needs attention across the group.
I started Authentic OS to solve that problem. It connects the work of each pub in one system, so teams can serve well, protect margin, and make the next pub stronger than the last.”

Shaped by pub groups

The best pub operators should shape the system.

Pub group teams know where work is repeated: between bookings and prep, service and stock, site close and group reporting. Authentic OS connects those jobs for the whole group.

One group, one operating picture

Bring every pub into the same working rhythm.

Start with the repeated work that costs your teams the most time and makes the group harder to control.
