What 5&5 does for restaurant brands
5&5 is a restaurant technology consulting and implementation firm. Its team plans, deploys and manages a brand’s digital systems, from point of sale and online ordering to loyalty and the strategy behind them, and stays on as an extension of the operator’s team. ClearCOGS is the planning layer on top of that stack: it reads each location’s POS sales history and turns it into what to prep, order and staff tomorrow.
Talk to our teamWhy it matters to operators
When 5&5 manages your POS, ordering and loyalty platforms, one team knows how each of those systems is configured across your locations. That is the team you want in the room when forecasting joins the stack: the questions onboarding raises about items, modifiers and location mapping already have an owner who knows the answer.
A forecast is only as good as the sales record behind it. A POS with consistent items, modifiers and location mapping gives ClearCOGS a clean history to learn from, which is what a managed implementation is meant to produce.
Most restaurant technology reports what is happening now: orders in, tickets out, points earned. ClearCOGS says what each location should prep, order and staff next. The stack 5&5 runs handles today; ClearCOGS plans tomorrow.
How a ClearCOGS customer benefits
Every location’s prep sheet arrives by email each morning. Ordering guidance and a labor budget are built from that same forecast, so purchasing and scheduling decisions rest on the same numbers as prep. Managers work from their own figures rather than gut feel, and nothing is added to the systems 5&5 maintains.
Most ClearCOGS rollouts go from kickoff to a live forecast in about three weeks. ClearCOGS runs on the sales history already sitting in Toast, Square, and Oracle Simphony, and the setup 5&5 built stays exactly as it is.
Across the 300+ restaurant brands ClearCOGS serves, customers see a 55% average waste reduction and 10+ hours saved per manager every week, and labor forecasting helps lower labor costs 15%.
Yes. The two companies have had a signed agreement in place since 2025 and introduce each other to restaurant brands where the fit is right. 5&5 stays responsible for your technology stack and ClearCOGS for your daily forecast.
No. 5&5 is a services firm, not a software platform, so there is nothing to connect. ClearCOGS reads sales history from the POS your locations already use, whether 5&5 set it up or not.
