staffed right — automatically.
A live read of tonight — before doors open
A 0–100 demand score refreshed every 30 seconds, built from events within 5km, weather, public holidays and payday cycles. Not just a number — a clear signal your whole team can act on the moment they arrive.
Exactly who to schedule — role by role, shift by shift
HAWK outputs a concrete staffing plan every day: 4 bar staff 19:00–03:00, 2 door staff 21:00–03:00. No spreadsheet, no guesswork — calibrated to your venue type and the night's demand. Overstaffing on a quiet Tuesday costs you money. Understaffing on a Paradiso sellout night costs you more.
Time your operation to the actual curve — not habit
The bar chart shows demand hour by hour across the day. Know that tonight peaks at 23:00 and plan accordingly: earlier kitchen prep, staggered staff breaks, bar restocks before the rush — all timed to data, not tradition.
Stop leaving covers on the table
High demand forecast but only 52% of seats booked? HAWK flags it and tells you to open a waitlist. Overbooked on a quiet night? It tells you that too. Your reservation fill rate is crossed against live demand so you never over- or under-sell your capacity again.
Run your whole month from one view
A 30-day demand calendar updated live as new events are announced. See which Saturdays are going to be PEAK weeks before they happen — so you can lock in staff rosters, plan stock orders, and run promotions on the nights that will actually drive revenue.
Know who's winning the night — and price accordingly
See every bar, restaurant and club near you on the live map, sized by capacity and coloured by demand. If Paradiso is sold out and three bars near it are at capacity, you should be raising prices tonight. If your block is quiet, you should be running a promo. HAWK gives you the full picture in one glance.
Connect your existing POS — no rip-and-replace
HAWK connects to your current point-of-sale system to pull real transaction data: actual covers, average spend, busiest tables. Feed that back into the demand model and your forecasts improve with every service. Works with Lightspeed, Square, Untill and more — set up in minutes, no consultants needed.
