I built Mise because I wanted to actually be in my restaurant.

Mise turns a 30-second voice memo into verified payroll and inventory reports. Built by a restaurant manager, for restaurant managers.

If you're doing your own payroll, you already know.

The hours of data entry. Counting inventory with a clipboard. Double-checking tip math at midnight. Feeling like you're never actually in your restaurant because you're always buried in admin.

That was me last summer. I'm the GM at Papa Surf, a burger bar in Santa Rosa Beach. No other managers. Doing everything myself. I was constantly chasing my tail — and I'll be honest, I felt pretty disconnected from the restaurant for a couple months there.

So I built the thing I wished existed.

You talk. Mise handles it.

Record a voice memo on your phone — 30 seconds, while you're still on the floor — and Mise turns it into verified payroll reports, tip calculations, and inventory counts.

No typing. No spreadsheets. No sitting at a computer after close.

It's like having a back-office person who works from your voice.

Four steps. That's it.

1

Talk.

Record your shift info or walk-and-talk your inventory count. On your phone, wherever you are.

Mise listens.

Your words become structured data. Employees, hours, tips, products, quantities — all organized automatically.

You verify.

Review the numbers. Approve with one tap. Nothing goes through without you saying so.

Done.

Payroll exports, tip reports, inventory files — ready to send. You're back with your team.

20+ consecutive weeks.
Zero errors.

This isn't a pitch. I use Mise every week to run my own restaurant's payroll. It's been my system of record at Papa Surf since summer 2025. The payroll goes out, the tips are right, and I actually have time to be in the restaurant.

I don't dread payroll anymore.

Built for the people who are actually doing this stuff.

If you run a single-location restaurant with 8 to 25 employees, handle tips, and spend 2+ hours a week on payroll personally — Mise was built for you. Literally. By someone doing the same thing.

When you call, a real person answers.

US-based. English-speaking. Restaurant-experienced. Response time in minutes, not hours.

That's not a roadmap item. That's how we operate now.
