Someone just called out of the close.
By the time you'd have reached for the group chat, Covered AI is already down the list. You run service; it runs the bench.

The barback's out. Doors at five.
No group text, no calling down a paper list between tastings. Covered AI hears it first, marks it, and starts the ladder — warm with your team, exact with your rules.

Dani, Jordan, and Harbor House are demo characters — the pattern is the product.
One row goes quiet. Seven minutes later it doesn't.
Zero calls made by you. The floor never saw the scramble.
It knows a host can't cover the line.
Offers only go to people who hold the role, with food-handler and alcohol-service cards checked before anyone is asked.
No clopens, no doubles, no quiet overtime — unless your rules say otherwise. The code enforces it every time, even at 4:55 pm.
Confirmations at T-24 and T-2 find the maybe-nos before service does. Silence is a signal, and it reaches you while there's still time to act.
When the gap is really a job, it hires.
Covered AI runs your schedule, so it knows when a part-time line cook for the Friday gaps stops being a coverage problem and starts being a role. One Y posts the job everywhere, an AI screen interviews every applicant, and you hear one text when someone clears the bar. How hiring works →
Every shift. Covered.
