NorthStar × Decision Logic Partnership | CBS NorthStar

NorthStar × Decision Logic Integration

Your back office runs on last night's numbers, not last week's.

NorthStar sends sales, labor, and item-level data to Decision Logic automatically. Inventory, food cost, and labor reporting for every location, all from one source of truth, with nothing keyed in twice.

Built for multi-unit operators. Works alongside NorthStar Order Entry on iPad and Windows.

The Problem

Most back offices still run on numbers someone pulled by hand after close. An export, a spreadsheet in an email, a variance nobody catches until the month is over.

When sales and labor don't reach the back office on their own, counts drift, food cost becomes a guess, and the reports that reach your leadership team are stale before anyone opens them. NorthStar and Decision Logic close that gap without adding a step to anyone's shift.

What You Get

Inventory, labor, and reporting.
Fed straight from the POS.

Inventory & Food Cost

Know what you used, not what you guessed

  • Monitor inventory in real time across every location
  • Actual versus theoretical variance on food cost
  • Menu item analysis down to the recipe
  • Purchasing decisions based on live usage, not last month's
  • Less waste, tighter ordering, better margin
Labor

Scheduled hours against hours actually worked

  • Integrated labor management and scheduling
  • Scheduled versus actual hours, by location
  • Labor cost tracked against sales as the week runs
  • Staffing corrections made before the period closes
Reporting & Insight

One dashboard for the whole portfolio

  • Consolidated sales, labor, and inventory reporting
  • Manager logs, task management, and digital line checks
  • Consistent numbers across single or multiple locations
  • Operational data turned into decisions your team can act on

How It Works

Three steps, one source of truth.

Step 01

Ring it on NorthStar

Your team takes orders the way they already do. Every check, item, and labor punch is captured at the terminal, with nothing extra for staff to remember.

Step 02

It syncs on its own

NorthStar passes sales, item, and labor data to Decision Logic automatically. No exports, no re-keying, no waiting on a manager to send a spreadsheet.

Step 03

Decide from one number

Decision Logic turns it into inventory counts, food cost variance, labor performance, and consolidated reporting across every location you run.

Questions, Answered

The integration, in plain terms.

What does the NorthStar + Decision Logic integration do?
It connects the NorthStar point-of-sale and restaurant management platform to Decision Logic's back-of-house and operational intelligence platform. Sales, item, and labor data flow from the POS into Decision Logic automatically, giving operators one place to manage inventory, food cost, labor, and reporting.
Do my managers still have to enter anything by hand?
No. The integration eliminates manual data entry by synchronizing operational data between the two systems. Managers stop exporting and re-keying, and start working from numbers that are already there.
What does it actually help me control?
Inventory, labor, sales, and profitability. Real-time inventory reduces waste and sharpens purchasing. Integrated labor tools optimize staffing and labor expense. Consolidated reporting puts sales, labor, and inventory on a single dashboard.
Does it work across multiple locations?
Yes. That's what it's built for. The integration is designed to scale alongside growing restaurant organizations, supporting brand consistency and reporting accuracy across single or multiple locations.
Who is it for?
Multi-unit restaurant operators who need accurate, real-time visibility across locations, especially teams managing rising labor costs, tighter margins, and growing operational complexity.
