NorthStar × Zoined Integration

Sales, labor, and margin in one live view, not a stack of spreadsheets.

NorthStar syncs your operational data into Zoined's restaurant analytics in near real time. Home office, regional, and store teams all work from the same numbers, with no exports and no manual roll-ups.

Automated dashboards and scheduled reports. Start free with your own data on a 30-day trial, no commitment.

The problem

Most multi-unit teams still run on spreadsheets that are exported nightly, keyed by hand, and out of date by the time anyone reads them.

When every region pulls its own numbers, no two reports match, problems surface late, and the data you already own never reaches the people making decisions. NorthStar feeds Zoined instead, so you get one source, one view, refreshed in near real time.

What you get

Dashboards, reporting, and forecasts from your live NorthStar data.

Real-time dashboards

Sales, labor, margin, and waste in one view

  • One live view across every location
  • Sales, labor %, margin, and waste side by side
  • Drill from portfolio to region to a single store
  • Same numbers for head office, area managers, and GMs
Automated reporting

Scheduled, with no manual roll-ups

  • Dashboards and scheduled reports out of the box
  • Reports land in the right inboxes on your cadence
  • Compare locations, dayparts, and categories
  • Retire the nightly spreadsheet export
AI forecasts & ZED

Ask your data, and plan ahead

  • ZED, an AI analyst you can ask in plain language
  • Demand forecasts to align labor with sales
  • Catch underperforming stores and margin leaks early
  • Menu engineering by sales and margin
In short: NorthStar syncs your operational data into Zoined's Restaurant Analytics platform with near-instant updates, creating one shared view across home office, regional, and store-level teams. Track sales and margin, align labor with demand, and make faster decisions across every location, without touching a spreadsheet.

Questions, answered

The integration, in plain terms.

What does the NorthStar + Zoined integration do?+
It syncs your NorthStar operational data into Zoined's restaurant analytics platform in near real time, so sales, labor, margin, and waste show up in shared dashboards and scheduled reports, without manual exports or spreadsheet roll-ups.
How fast does the data update?+
Near real time. As transactions post in NorthStar, they sync to Zoined, so dashboards reflect the business as it happens rather than yesterday's export.
Do I have to give up my existing reports?+
Zoined replaces the manual roll-up. Dashboards and scheduled reports are automated and shared across your teams, and you can still export whenever you need to.
Is there a trial?+
Yes. Zoined offers a free 30-day trial using your own NorthStar data, with no upfront commitment.
Who is it for?+
Multi-unit restaurant operators. That means home office, regional and area managers, and store-level teams who need one shared, real-time view of performance across every location.
