Ascot Intelligence — Lever, the shift scoreboard

What it is

One masterbrand. Three simple machines.

Lever turns the period end balanced scorecard into a daily, per shift, per manager leaderboard, straight from the report you already export. No new forms, nothing to type in. Just who ran the shift, how it scored, and the one move that clears the band.

A small input. A large output.

Five hundred years ago, the lever, the axle and the pulley were drawn as instruments of mechanical advantage. One hand moving what ten could not. That is the whole idea in one image. Each tool here is a simple machine for a manager's effort.

The product

Lever is live. Two more are in test.

Lever runs in your store today. Pulley (new starter tracking) and Axle (the week's roster) are in test at our home store. They switch on for you when they're ready, at no extra cost.

How it works

Reads the report. Scores the shift. Names the move.

Nothing new to fill in. It works from the daily report your restaurant already gets. Paste it, screenshot it, or drop the file in.

Reads the daily report

The official daily KPI report, as is. It writes nothing back to your systems and invents nothing.

Attributes the shift

Open and close are credited to the manager on duty who ran them. The person who ran the shift owns the score.

Scores it, and names the move

9 KPIs across people, customer and business, banded on the balanced scorecard. Never a bare number. The move comes with it.

The bands

SAT · 5 AT · 4 OT · 3 BT · 2 SBT · 1

Why it's built

Built in the store, for the store.

These started as tools I built for my own shifts. The daily reports tell you what happened. They don't tell you what to do next, who actually ran the shift, or which new starter is about to slip through the cracks in their first 90 days. So I built the answers I wanted while I was on the floor, and I'm sharing them with the managers I know who'd use them.

No sales team. No lock in. No install. If it saves you an hour on your day off, keep it. If it doesn't, close the tab. That's the whole deal.

Who it's for

Managers Use It. RGMs Implement It.

For the manager

It's the exact score that decides your standing. The real balanced scorecard bands (SAT, AT, OT, BT, SBT), live today instead of a period end surprise. A leaderboard your team competes to top, with a podium on the office screen. And every red number comes with the one move that clears it.

For the RGM

When managers self coach up the board, the store's BSC rises. The number your area coach grades you on. The data does the confronting, you do the coaching. It pays for itself inside the first week.
