Your Walk-In
Already Knows.
Your Software
Should Too.
Forecast watches every ingredient moving through your kitchen — counting pars, predicting tomorrow's prep list, and flagging the Tuesday salmon order before the walk-in tells you it's wrong.
The Old Way
vs. What Forecast Does
Every row below is a line item on your P&L that's bleeding right now. Forecast closes each one. The math is not approximate.
Chef spends 45 min/night on manual inventory — every location, every day.
Real-time par tracking via POS integration and IoT shelf sensors.
6–12% of protein budget wasted weekly from gut-feel purchasing.
Weather, events, day-of-week, and historical sales drive precise order quantities.
Prep made on Monday dies by Thursday. No visibility until the smell.
Forecast calculates exactly what to prep and when, eliminating excess build.
15 locations, 15 spreadsheets. Food cost variance discovered at month-end.
All locations on one screen. Variance flags surface in real time, not in P&L.
