In October 2026 Per Diem expanded Olivia, the AI assistant in its restaurant ordering dashboard, with about 50 supported or planned actions across marketing, loyalty, menus and store settings: a coffee shop owner can ask 'When is my slowest day of the week?', and Olivia checks the ordering data and helps turn the answer into a campaign with an offer and a push notification. Suggested starters include 'Drive lunch orders' and 'Slow right now, fix it', and every proposed change is shown for approval before it goes live. The prompt below runs the same analysis and campaign plan with any AI assistant and an export from your point-of-sale system. Use when the user wants help with slow-day promotions (marketing) for a small business." --- # Fix your slowest day: have an AI agent find when your restaurant or cafe sales dip, then prepare a targeted offer, push message and loyalty boost for you to approve before anything goes live Most restaurant owners know roughly which days are quiet but rarely have time to turn that into a promotion. In October 2026 Per Diem expanded Olivia, the AI assistant in its restaurant ordering dashboard, with about 50 supported or planned actions across marketing, loyalty, menus and store settings: a coffee shop owner can ask 'When is my slowest day of the week?', and Olivia checks the ordering data and helps turn the answer into a campaign with an offer and a push notification. Suggested starters include 'Drive lunch orders' and 'Slow right now, fix it', and every proposed change is shown for approval before it goes live. The prompt below runs the same analysis and campaign plan with any AI assistant and an export from your point-of-sale system. ## Inputs to collect first Ask the user for anything below that they haven't already given you. Don't guess missing facts. - Restaurant, cafe or bakery, location, opening hours, average order… - A point-of-sale export of orders for the last 8-12 weeks: date… - Your own material (text, notes or data) ## Instructions Do the task below with the user's inputs in place of each [bracket]. Help me find my slowest times and plan promotions to fill them. My business: [restaurant, cafe or bakery, location, opening hours, average order value]. I've attached [a point-of-sale export of orders for the last 8-12 weeks: date, time, items, total, channel (in-store, pickup, delivery)]. 1) Show sales and order counts by day of week and by hour, and name the 3 weakest time slots compared with my average. 2) Suggest likely reasons from the data (e.g. missing lunch trade, weak weekday mornings, low pickup orders) and what else I should check (weather, local events, staffing). 3) For each weak slot, propose one promotion I can afford: the offer, who it targets (new, lapsed or regular customers), the channel (push notification, email, in-store sign, loyalty points), and the cost if 30 extra orders redeem it. 4) Write the push notification, a short social post and the in-store sign for each. 5) Tell me how to measure it over 4 weeks against the same slot before the offer. Keep margins in mind using my food cost of [X%], and don't set anything live; I'll approve each campaign. ## Safety checks (share these with the user) - Check every figure, price and total against your own records before anything is sent, posted or booked. A person approves refunds, discounts, payments and price changes. - Remove names, contact details, account numbers and other personal data the task doesn't need before you paste, and check your AI tool's data and training settings. - Read and edit the draft before it reaches a customer or goes public. If you later automate this prompt, start with "draft and notify me", not "send automatically". - Check names, dates, numbers and any claim against your own source material before you use the answer. AI can misread or invent details. - Say clearly which parts need a person to review or approve before anything is sent, paid, posted or filed. ## About this skill - Works with: Per Diem Olivia, Square, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini - Based on this real-world example: https://www.tryperdiem.com/newsroom/per-diem-expands-olivia-ai-with-agentic-capabilities - Free prompt from AgentPlaybook Real Estate: https://agentic-library.netlify.app/prompt/al-369-fix-your-slowest-day-have-an-ai-agent-find-when-your-restaur/ - To install in an agent that supports Agent Skills, save this file as SKILL.md in a folder with the same name as `name` above (for example in your skills directory).
