Most consultants bring decks. I bring evidence.

every claim on this page was measured in my own franchise first — the blue ink is where I show my work

I run a juice bar franchise, a catering company, and two dance studios. When my margins were dying, no consultant was coming to save them — so I built AI that did. Now I do it for restaurant and franchise operators.

Celery, billed at $87.57 a case — roughly double the contracted rate. Small enough to hide in a wall of line items; caught by reading the invoice line-by-line against contract, recovered in full. The audit reads your whole cost structure the same way.

See the full audit scope $2,500 flat · 1–2 weeks
A

Walk the operation

Inventory, ordering, invoices, labor, reporting — where the hours go and where the money quietly leaves.

B

Rank every opportunity by ROI

A numbered plan. Each item carries a dollar figure and an effort estimate — you decide what's worth doing.

C

Build or implement

Custom tool, existing software, or OpsBrain if it genuinely fits — I'm platform-agnostic and I say so in writing.

D

Measure, then say so

If it didn't move a number, it didn't work. You get the honest readout either way.

04 — A short letter

I didn't plan to become a consultant. I bought a failing store, and at 11pm in the walk-in cooler — guessing a Sysco order I knew was wrong — I realized nobody was coming with better numbers.

So I built the numbers myself. Food cost fell twelve points. One invoice audit paid for a year of the tools. Then other operators started asking how.

If your store leaks — and almost every store leaks — I'll find it, I'll show you exactly what it costs, and I'll build what stops it. And if AI genuinely can't help your operation, I'll tell you that too. It's cheaper for both of us.

ASKED & ANSWERED — TEN STRAIGHT QUESTIONS
What does Avissh AI consulting cost?

Three tiers: AI Operations Audit at $2,500 (1–2 weeks, one-time), Custom AI Build at $5,000–$15,000 (4–8 weeks, project-based), and Monthly Retainer at $2,000–$5,000/month (ongoing, cancel anytime).

Who is Avissh AI consulting for?

Franchise restaurant operators running 1–5 locations — juice bars, smoothie shops, coffee, fast-casual, QSR. The founder runs a juice bar franchise in Napa, California, so the work is tested at his own store first.

What does an AI Operations Audit include?

A 1–2 week walkthrough of your operation: kitchen, inventory, ordering, labor, reporting. You receive a prioritized action plan with ROI projections for every AI opportunity. No slide decks — actionable output only.

How is Avissh AI different from a typical consulting firm?

Avissh is an active franchise operator, not a consultant who studied franchising. Every AI tool is tested at his own juice bar before being sold or built for clients. No theoretical recommendations.

Do I need to use OpsBrain to work with Avissh AI?

No. OpsBrain is one solution. The audit and custom-build services are platform-agnostic — Avissh will recommend OpsBrain only if it's the right fit. Otherwise he builds or integrates whatever solves your actual problem.

How long does a typical AI consulting engagement take?

AI Audit: 1–2 weeks. Custom AI Build: 4–8 weeks. Monthly Retainer: ongoing with monthly check-ins. Most operators see meaningful automation results within 30–60 days of starting an engagement.

What kinds of AI tools does Avissh build for restaurants?

Inventory automation, AI invoice scanning, weather-adjusted ordering, P&L dashboards, labor optimization, vendor credit automation, custom reporting engines, and workflow automation. He also evaluates third-party AI vendors — voice ordering, drive-thru, phone answering — on the operator's side of the table, and doesn't resell any of them. Custom tools are built first at the founder's own franchise location, then packaged for other operators.

Where is Avissh AI based?

Napa Valley, California. Avissh runs six businesses across food service and education. Engagements are remote-first; in-person visits to client locations available within California and on a project-by-project basis nationally.

What is OpsBrain and how does it relate to Avissh AI?

OpsBrain is the software product built by Avissh AI — an AI-powered inventory platform for franchise restaurants that's live in daily production, with a Cashflow module in early access. The Founding tier is $99/month. Avissh AI is the parent company and consulting practice; OpsBrain is the product.

Can Avissh help with non-restaurant businesses?

Possibly. The audit and custom-build services apply to any operationally-intensive small business — though the founder's expertise is deepest in franchise restaurants, food service, and multi-location small business operations.
