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.

Midnight Clipboard Counts

Chef spends 45 min/night on manual inventory — every location, every day.

Continuous Sensor Counting

Real-time par tracking via POS integration and IoT shelf sensors.

97% time saved
Over-ordering on Protein

6–12% of protein budget wasted weekly from gut-feel purchasing.

AI Demand Curves

Weather, events, day-of-week, and historical sales drive precise order quantities.

$1,200/wk recovered
Dead Stock in the Walk-In

Prep made on Monday dies by Thursday. No visibility until the smell.

FIFO Prep Intelligence

Forecast calculates exactly what to prep and when, eliminating excess build.

34% waste reduction
Multi-Unit Blind Spots

15 locations, 15 spreadsheets. Food cost variance discovered at month-end.

Single Operator Dashboard

All locations on one screen. Variance flags surface in real time, not in P&L.

15 → 1 dashboard
Vendor Invoice Surprises

Price changes buried in invoices. You catch them 30 days late.

Automated Invoice Audit

Every invoice parsed and compared to contracted pricing. Disputes flagged instantly.

2.1% COGS recovered
New Menu Launch Guesswork

Par levels for new items built on hope. First week always over or under.

Comp-Set Demand Modeling

Forecast models new item demand from comparable dishes in your historical data.
