How Esplanda works: it preps the work, you approve

Esplanda works in a loop: you set a goal in dollars and your limits once, and Esplanda watches your sales, stock, prices and customers, forecasts where the week is heading and finds the work that closes the gap, such as a supplier order or a price change. Area by area, you choose whether it tells you what to do, gets the work ready for your one-tap OK, or also does routine work inside your limits. Every action is recorded with what it was expected to earn and what it actually earned.

Setup is step by step: connect your register or set up Esplanda POS, then about an hour of connections, such as your Google Business Profile, email and text messaging and your ad accounts. Setting your goal and your limits takes about twenty minutes. Forecasts learn from your own sales, starting with your first two to four weeks, and approvals let you see every piece of work before you hand any of it over.

Your register first: Esplanda POS, which is free, or a Square, Clover, Lightspeed or KORONA register. Then your Google Business Profile, review sites, email and text messaging, your Google, Meta and TikTok ad accounts, your delivery apps and your bank or accounting feed. Nobody is forced to change register.

Your limits, set once: the maximum purchase order value and a weekly ceiling across all suppliers, the suppliers it may buy from, a floor margin, your price rules, the deepest discount an offer may carry, the ad spend cap for each channel, how often any one customer may be contacted, the hours messages may be sent, which segments may be contacted, tone rules, escalation rules, scheduling rules and a labor target, and which capabilities may act at all. Anything outside them becomes an approval request. Replies to 1–2 star reviews, complaints, refund requests, anything touching alcohol rules or a legal claim, any ad spend, publishing a blog post, a price move near your floor or larger than your maximum move size, marketplace prices and a shift swap that breaks your rules always come to you, and you can switch to approve-everything mode at any time.

Every result is recorded next to its prediction, in dollars, and stays in your ledger. When a type of work falls short of its forecast, Esplanda goes back to asking you first, and tells you why.

Yes. How much Esplanda does is set area by area, and any area can stay on advice only. For example, you can let it send routine supplier orders under your limit while keeping every price change for your approval, and change these settings at any time.

Your first two weeks start free, with no credit card needed. Connect your register or set up Esplanda POS, connect your accounts with a sign-in, and take about twenty minutes to set your goal and limits. In the first week Esplanda shows you any duplicate items or wrong costs in your item list, so every forecast starts from clean data. From then on, each morning brings a short summary of what is ready, what each piece is expected to earn and one tap to approve it.

Esplanda POS is free, with the move from your old system, and runs on the computer, tablet or phone you already have. Hosting your website is free, with 99¢ per online order, never more than $299 a month. Everything else is a paid tool you add only if you want it, each priced on its own per location per month, from $29 to $699. There is no setup fee, no contract and no per-user fee, and every price is on the Esplanda pricing page.

Your day with Esplanda is a short morning summary and one-tap approvals, on your phone or computer. You can also ask questions in plain words, such as how much you sold last Monday, and get the answer with the numbers behind it.
