Featured Projects
AS 360 Platform — RIDE · SPLASH · PLAY
The industry's first complete operational risk system for the $35B U.S. attractions industry. Three continuous scoring indices — RIDE Score™ for dry attractions, SPLASH Score™ for aquatic environments, and PLAY Score™ for FECs — each independently deployable, each exponentially more powerful when combined into the combined Facility Score.
Built on Power BI and Airtable with 384+ DAX measures and 37 independent data streams including field audits, incident intelligence, queue APIs, weather overlays, and lifeguard zone monitoring. Targeting specialty insurance carriers, ride manufacturers, and park operators.
AS 360 Platform — RIDE · SPLASH · PLAY →Restaurant Performance Dashboard
Full case study: built an interactive Power BI dashboard tracking daily sales, labor costs, and true margin per menu item. Reduced waste by 15% and cut Monday/Tuesday labor costs by 22%. Now productized as the TableStandards 90-Day Pilot.
View Case Study →Food Waste Tracker
Full case study: built a zero-install, QR-code-activated mobile web app for kitchen staff to log food waste in 15 seconds. Categorizes by station and waste type. Identified a 40% overproduction pattern in pasta prep within the first month.
View Case Study →Employee Scheduling Optimization
Full case study: built ARIMA-based demand forecasting models in R Studio to generate optimized staffing grids. Cut 30+ overstaffed hours per week and reduced overtime by 60%. Now deployed as the TableStandards labor optimization service.
View Case Study →Inventory Forecasting Model
Full case study: analyzed 48,620 pizza transactions across 12 months to build a size-weighted box inventory forecasting model. Identified demand patterns by hour, day, and size to reduce waste and stockouts.
View Case Study →Operational ROI Calculator
Full case study: built an interactive web tool that quantifies annual operational variance across food cost, labor, and incident exposure. Real-time slider calculations show multi-location operators exactly where they're leaving money.
