Built for every kind of business
Point of sale, payments, real accounting, scheduling, staff, and AI on one connected core. Built for restaurants, spas, retail, and many kinds of business beyond.
The problem
A point of sale here, a property system there, separate tools for spa, retail, scheduling, payroll, and accounting. The data never lines up, so month-end becomes a manual reconciliation. The usual fixes are worse: a point tool that does one thing, or a legacy suite that takes six months and a consultant to switch on.
Patchwork vs Root
The same operations, run two ways. On a stack of tools, each line below is its own job. On Root, it is one.
| A stack of tools | Root | |
|---|---|---|
| A single sale | Re-keyed from one app to the next | One record, posted everywhere at once |
| The books | Nightly exports, a month-end spreadsheet | A real ledger, always current |
| The customer | Scattered across six logins | One profile, one history, one balance |
| A new location or concept | Another system to buy and wire up | A configuration of the same core |
| When something breaks | You find it at month-end | Flagged the day it starts |
| The bill | Six invoices to reconcile | One platform, one price |
The idea
Every part of the business runs on the same database. Ring a sale at the bar, book a spa visit, sell a retail item, or post a room charge: each writes one record that updates the customer, posts to the books, and changes what they're offered next. Nothing syncs between apps, because there are no other apps.
The difference
Not a longer feature list. The things that only work when sales, customers, stock, and the books are one system instead of four that sync overnight.
A true double-entry general ledger lives inside the system that takes the orders. Every sale, refund, and tip posts itself the moment it happens, so the books are always current instead of a nightly export to somewhere else. The financial core →
A guest's food, spa, retail, and room charges become one record that posts everywhere at once, in real time. Drill it by name, by room, or by member number, never an overnight batch. The connected core →
Email, SMS, and push built on real purchase history, not a stale uploaded list. Describe an audience in plain language, send, and the resulting sales close the loop back to your ad spend. Marketing & messaging →
More than thirty background reconcilers prove the numbers continuously, so a problem surfaces the day it starts rather than the day you find it. Always-on integrity →
The operating suite is included, sized to your business. Root runs in the browser and on PCs, tablets, and touchscreens, so the floor, the office, and the back room all work from one platform.
What's included
Every module Root offers, on one connected core. Turn on what you need now and grow into the rest.
Root AI
Built into the core and reading your live data. Ask it anything in plain language. It answers, recommends, and then does the work: retries the failed card, fills the open shift, catches the customer about to churn.
37 regulars haven't been in for 3+ weeks, 22% above your normal lapse rate. I drafted a win-back offer for the top spenders, worth about $4,800 in recovered visits, ready to send.
Tuned by industry
Not a generic system with your logo on it. Each industry gets the depth of a specialist tool, with payments, the books, and customer history already wired in.
Self-serve onboarding
No demo to sit through, no consultant, no setup fee. Create an account, pick what you run, and Root builds a starting setup you finish in the browser: import your menu or catalog, connect payments, invite your team, and take a real sale the same afternoon.
