Deeper than it looks

A POS that runs the whole business.

Operators see substance. Investors see the moat. Both start with the loop that runs itself.

Featured — Inventory automation

Stock dips. The platform handles it.

Three steps you used to do by hand. Now the platform does them — and tells you what happened.

i. Auto-PO

Low stock detected

PO #1042 → supplier

Stock-out triggers a purchase order.

Reorder points per item, per outlet. When stock dips, a PO drafts itself, gets sent to the right supplier, and lands in their inbox — no human required.

ii. AI extraction

Claude is reading

Claude reads the delivery note.

Supplier paperwork in any format. Items extracted, matched to your SKUs by fuzzy reasoning, costs captured. Anything unclear is surfaced for a one-tap human OK.

iii. Auto-GRN

Stock + 48 GRN posted Xero synced
GRN posts. Stock updates. Xero gets it.

Goods-received note writes itself with weighted-average costs. Inventory moves. A journal lands in Xero. You get a notification — not an interruption.

i.

Inventory & Stock

Stock counts per outlet, transfers between, supplier catalogs with pack-size conversions, barcode/SKU management. Manual counts with variance tracking when you want hands-on control.

ii.

Recipes & Live COGS

Recipe cards linked to menu items, modifiers and variants. Ingredients deduct on sale at weighted-average cost — real-time gross profit per dish, drink and bundle.

iii.

Tills & Cash Control

Opening floats, safe drops, pay-ins, pay-outs. Per-device or per-operator drawer modes. End-of-day reconciliation flags variances. Manager approval and a full audit trail.

iv.

Payments

Cash, card, bank, mobile, wallet, saved cards. Tips with preset percentages. Split tenders on a single order. Refunds that restock inventory and post back to accounting.

v.

Full Xero Sync

Real-time or end-of-day. Per-order invoices or daily journals — your call. POs, GRNs, inventory movements all post back. Supplier fuzzy-match keeps your contacts clean.

vi.

Kitchen + Customer Displays

Tickets routed by station and category. Item-level prep status. Time thresholds flag warning then critical. CFDs pair to terminals with your branding and live order status.

And rentals, stored-value wallets, loyalty programmes, staff shifts & PIN unlock, petty cash, and the reporting that ties it all together.

The Loop — how Big Day Out compounds

Operators ask. AI evaluates.
The platform ships in days.

The customers using the product are the roadmap. Their suggestions are rated by AI, approved by us, built by an autonomous pipeline, and shipped — usually within 48 hours. Every customer makes the platform better for the next one.

i.

Operator suggests

In-product widget. Three-step wizard. The submitter is the user who'd benefit.

ii.

Claude evaluates

Four-axis rubric: impact, breadth, effort, fit. Verdict + rationale, brutally honest.

iii.

Pipeline builds

Autonomous build container. Spec, plan, code, tests, PR — in a single supervised run.

iv.

Ships to all operators

Merged, deployed, live. Submitter gets notified. Every other operator gets it for free.

Loops The shipped feature surfaces the next idea. Compounds with every customer.

Three pillars beneath the loop

Most platforms have customers. Big Day Out has a flywheel.

The loop runs on three pieces: a way for customers to ask, a way to build at the speed of asking, and an architecture ready for what comes next — agents transacting on behalf of users. None of the three is novel alone. The combination is.

i.

UserSource

Your customers are your roadmap.

A persistent widget inside every operator's portal. Three steps to file an idea. Claude rates it in seconds across impact, breadth, effort and fit. Approved ones fire the pipeline. The submitter watches their suggestion go from rated to building to shipped, in days.

~48h From approved to shipped, in the common case.

ii.

Pipeline

Builds at 15× the pace.

An autonomous build engine. One issue in, one merged pull request out. It writes a spec, drafts a plan, opens its own worktree, writes code and tests, runs the suite, opens the PR, asks for review. Humans approve. Failures escalate. Nothing ships unsupervised.

iii.

Agent-Ready Infrastructure

The next booking won't be human.

It'll be made by an AI agent acting on your customer's behalf. The bookings of the next decade arrive via prompt, not pixel — and Big Day Out is built to receive them. Clean domain seams. Typed, public OpenAPI specs across every surface. Idempotent booking primitives. Delegated auth. The same architecture that lets the pipeline build the platform lets agents transact on it.

You “Book me a tennis court near Sandton for Saturday at 10.”

04 — Switching

What you'll notice.

No demo will tell you the truth of a platform — only running on it will. Here's the shape of what running on Big Day Out actually feels like, from the first hour onward.

i.

The first hour

You're trading before lunchtime.

Account Activity Pricing Live
Setup wizard or migration script under 10 min

Switching from another platform? Migration scripts move members, history, inventory and bookings in minutes, not weeks. Brand new? The setup wizard takes your first activity live in under ten minutes. Either way, you're trading by lunchtime with a real person from our team beside you through the first day.

Two paths in — migration scripts or a guided wizard. One person beside you.

ii.

The first week

Sunday's sales, Monday's books.

Sat — Sun

Court 3R350
Bar tabR120
Court 5R400

Mon — Books

RevenueR870
COGSR245
NetR625

What sold on Sunday posts to your accounts on Monday, with COGS calculated against the recipes that fired them. The court your member booked drew from the same inventory as the bar. The reconciliation that used to take two hours takes two clicks.

One source of truth — booking, sale, stock and books, deeply joined.

iii.

The first quarter

Your first idea ships.

“Bulk-edit member rates from one screen.” Shipped
Submitted Mar 4 Shipped Mar 9 · 5 days, end-to-end

A friction you noticed in week two becomes a UserSource submission in week three. Approved on Thursday, shipped by Saturday. Then the next one. The platform stops feeling like software you bought and starts feeling like a tool being built specifically for you — because it is.

UserSource — the part where the roadmap is yours.
