How it works

How ClearCOGS turns POS data into tomorrow’s prep, order and labor plan

ClearCOGS is restaurant forecasting software: it reads your POS history, weather, events and menu mix, and sends each store a daily prep sheet, order guide and labor plan before the kitchen opens.

Food Prep

What to make and how much, by daypart, before the kitchen opens.

  • Every item on tomorrow's menu, with a quantity
  • A stop line, so prep ends before it becomes waste
  • Sent to the manager before open, no spreadsheet to build
55%
average waste reduction

Ordering

Exact quantities for the next order, so money stays in the bank instead of on the shelf.

  • Case counts by delivery day, from the same forecast
  • Pars that move with the week instead of staying fixed
  • Fewer run-outs on the items that sell

Labor

Schedules sized to the forecast, not to habit.

  • Hours by day and daypart from expected demand
  • Staffing matched to the rush, not padded around it
  • Works alongside the scheduling tool you already run
15%
lower labor costs

Multi-Store Reports

One view across every store, with the problem locations flagged before the weekly call.

  • Sales, waste and labor against forecast, store by store
  • Stockouts and over-prep surfaced the morning after
  • The same numbers for the operator and the office
