Plain-language summary
This page is written in plain language for restaurant operators. The final, jurisdiction-specific privacy policy is being prepared with counsel and will replace this draft before general availability. For urgent privacy questions, email [email protected].
Section 01
Data we collect
We collect the minimum data needed to operate Before Service and produce the pre-service brief. We never sell or rent your data.
- Account data — name, work email, role and the organization you belong to.
- Restaurant operational data — sales, schedules, menu items, recipes, ingredient costs, inventory counts and waste logs imported or connected by you.
- Uploaded files — CSV imports you provide for any of the workflows above, including any sample data you choose to upload.
- Usage data — pages opened, actions taken in the app, and basic device data used for security and product improvement.
- Support data — messages you send to us and the context we need to resolve them.
Section 02
Restaurant operational data
Restaurant operational data is the most sensitive data you trust us with. It is used solely to generate forecasts, prep plans, menu margin recommendations, labor guidance and the Pre-Service Brief for your organization. It is not used to train cross-customer models without your explicit, written consent.
Section 03
Account data
Account data is used for authentication, role-based access control and to send you product and security communications. You can update or delete your account information at any time from the settings area or by emailing [email protected].
Section 04
Uploaded CSV data
Files you upload (sales history, item sales, recipes, inventory counts, supplier prices, labor shifts, waste logs) are stored in your organization's workspace, scoped to your locations, and accessible only to users you have invited with the correct role. You can delete uploaded files from the import history at any time.
Section 05
Usage data
We collect aggregated usage data to operate, secure and improve the product. Where we use third-party analytics, those providers process data on our behalf under agreements that restrict their use to Before Service.
Section 07
Data retention
Operational data is retained while your account is active and for a limited rolling window after cancellation to allow you to re-activate without data loss. After that window, data is deleted or anonymized. The exact retention windows will be published in the final policy alongside legal review.
Section 08
Deletion and export requests
You can request export or deletion of your organization's data at any time by emailing [email protected]. Owners can also export their data from the settings area. Verified deletion requests are typically processed within 30 days.
Section 09
Third-party processors
Before Service uses a small number of vetted sub-processors for hosting, authentication, email delivery, analytics and AI inference. The current sub-processor list is published on the data processing page and updated whenever a sub-processor is added or removed.
Customers on annual plans receive 30 days' written notice before a new sub-processor is engaged.
