Break up with Manual Data Extracts
It’s Monday morning after a crazy busy weekend in the restaurants – and the last thing you want to do is spend hours hauling data extracts around from multiple systems to build the weekly forecast.
Even when you’re done, the data’s already out of date and there’s still no time to do anything about the lunch service on Thursday, which looks down this week.
Distil changes everything about the way you do data for your restaurants.
Stop reacting to last week’s numbers – start shaping this week’s revenue.

Several "lighbulb" moments going off in the boardroom!
Distil is genuinely an industry-level gamechanger.
Hit your targets with AI revenue & covers forecasting
Forget spending hours on manual forecasts that are out of date the second they’re done. Distil automatically generates a daily data-led group-wide revenue forecast, benchmarked against your targets and the group’s actual performance.
With visibility every day and week for the coming year, you can keep your revenue on track and watch your progress against targets. Should the unexpected happen, you can change your expected performance at any time so it’s reflected in the numbers.
Spot config issues before they impact revenue
Keeping on top of every restaurant’s table configuration is a real headache when you’ve got multiple sites and brands in your group. And table configs mismatched with demand will cost you reservations and bottom line revenue.
Distil’s group-wide availability scanning helps you stay ahead of demand, letting you instantly see non-availability by party size, duration and reason. And with the group-wide change log, you can keep track of updates.
Get ahead of restaurant configuration issues that could cost you potential reservations and revenue.
Maximise covers with precise focus areas
See which sites and services are ahead of your expected performance and which need additional promotion up to 12 months ahead. Focus your efforts and budget in the most-needed areas and eliminate those last-minute calls for help.
Upcoming bookings are broken down into predicted covers and revenue, by day and day part, so no opportunity to capture revenue is overlooked.

Frequently asked questions
Is Distil Diagnostics only available to restaurants on OpenTable?
At the present time, yes it is. However, we already work with several restaurant groups who use other booking platforms such as TripleSeat or SevenRooms to create custom reports that meet several of desired forecasting outcomes delivered by Distil Diagnostics. You should check out our Analytics suite for more info.
Can’t I just keep doing my forecasting and availability optimisation manually?
It’s your choice of course, but you’ll always be limited by the nature of manual data processes – time consuming, prone to human error, and output that’s out of date the second it’s created. Distil Diagnostics accesses OpenTable data sets exclusive to Distil, which means it’s not only faster and more accurate, it also unlocks opportunities you can’t get anywhere else.
