A narrow document parser scoped to intake & triage alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at restaurants owner-operators, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.
In short: Intake Triage Built for Owner-Operators is a document parser aimed at restaurants owner-operators, covering intake & triage. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (95) and held back by open field (33). Typical pricing is $2.0k–$41k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$6.0k.
Restaurants teams lose the front-desk queue that swallows 8 hours a week. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
Intake & triage handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Document parsing stopped needing per-layout templates. Restaurants is growing at roughly 13% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
