Restaurant Pricing & Revenue Management

The Problem

Between 2022 and 2024, aggressive price increases triggered traffic losses that revenue growth masked until it was too late.

The problem was not raising prices.

It was raising them without the data to know where, how much, and which items each market could actually bear.

What we do differently

Same question.
Fundamentally different answer.

Better Data

SignalFlare triangulates mobile, credit card spending, and competitive signals to understand the true purchasing power of your actual guests — today, not last quarter. POS elasticities tell you what happened. They can't tell you what consumers can spend right now.

Better Science

Every recommendation shows a range of outcomes and the risk behind each one, not a single number. Basket-level elasticities capture check decomposition, the quiet risk legacy econometric models miss entirely.

Better Delivery

Navigator puts a pricing advisor in every operator's hands — plain-language rationale, competitive context, and what-if scenarios on demand. Whether it's a franchisee reviewing recommendations or a corporate team planning a rollout, Navigator knows the trade area better than anyone in the room.

How we do it

The science behind a recommendation you can actually act on.

Legacy pricing vendors use linear regression, a method from the 1970s that produces a single point estimate and assumes consumer behavior is constant.

SignalFlare uses a fundamentally different approach.

Dual risk measurement

The risk your POS data can't see.

Most vendors only measure traffic loss. SignalFlare also measures check degradation, where customers quietly reduce their basket to stay within a spending threshold.

Probabilistic outcomes

All outcomes, before you commit.

Instead of a single elasticity number, every recommendation comes with the full range of likely outcomes and the probability behind each one, including the downside, so you see the risk before a price goes live.

Basket-level analysis

Every price change reshapes the entire basket.

Raising one item's price affects what customers order around it. SignalFlare models the entire basket simultaneously, capturing effects that item-by-item analysis misses entirely.
