Why do you need Food Prep Forecasting?

Because more profits are never a bad thing.

Running a restaurant is hard enough without the constant worry of prepping too much—or too little—food. With ClearCOGS Forecasting, we take the guesswork out of daily preparation, helping you make smarter decisions that lead to less waste, better resource management, and improved profitability.

ClearCOGS will email you a daily prep sheet every day with accurate numbers on it about how much to make. They analyze every possible data point you could ever think of… basically all the things a human could never do.

We run a pretty tight operation, so we were skeptical about the value this would add. Needless to say, we were shocked that literally overnight we were able to add 2% to the bottom line with no operational changes.

ClearCOGS breaks down hour-by-hour how much bread we should have. It’s dummy-proofed to where we should not run out of bread and we’re not going to waste trays at the end of the night. Its projections are right on the money.

With ClearCOGS, we’re able to provide better service to the customers, because it reduces mistakes, turn over times and just improves the service and the brand overall.
