Clover rings the sales. ClearCOGS plans the next day.
Clover captures what each location sells, item by item, all day long. ClearCOGS, the Operational Decision Platform for restaurants, takes that sales history, adds weather, local events and seasonality, and returns a plain answer for each location: how much of each item to prep, what to order and how much labor the day can support. ClearCOGS works with Clover operators through one-way read access to sales data, granted by you, so Clover keeps working exactly as it does now.
Talk to our teamWhat Clover operators get from ClearCOGS
ClearCOGS reads your Clover sales data and turns it into a prep list for each location: each item, the expected amount to make and the maximum, delivered by email before the kitchen opens.
The same Clover sales history drives purchasing. ClearCOGS projects what each location will use over the coming days and shows what to order, so walk-in stock follows demand instead of habit.
Daily sales forecasts from your Clover data set a labor spend guide for each location, following your own rules, so managers staff to the demand that is coming rather than the week that just ended.

Why Clover operators add ClearCOGS
You authorize ClearCOGS to read your Clover sales data. We never write to Clover, edit a menu item or touch a payment. Access stays under your control.
The plan arrives in an email the manager already reads. No new hardware, no new screens, no data entry. The team makes what the sheet says and keeps ringing sales on Clover as usual.
Kickoff to first forecast takes about three weeks: you grant access, we build each location’s model from its Clover history, and the daily plan starts landing in the inbox.
ClearCOGS integrates with major POS systems including Toast, Square, and Oracle Simphony. For Clover operators, access is read-only and granted by you: your register, menu and settings stay exactly as they are.
You authorize ClearCOGS to read your Clover sales data. From that history, plus weather, local events and seasonality, ClearCOGS builds a forecast for each location and delivers a daily prep sheet, ordering guidance and a labor budget. Nothing is written back to Clover.
Book a meeting with our team. We walk through your locations and menu, you grant read access to your Clover sales data, and we build each location’s model. Plan on about three weeks from kickoff to the first daily plan, and your staff keep ringing sales on Clover exactly as they do now.
Tell your ClearCOGS Implementation rep, or reply to one of your daily forecast emails, that a location runs Clover. We set up read access to that location’s sales data and its forecast starts building from the Clover history.
No. Access is read-only. ClearCOGS reads sales history to build the forecast and never edits menus, prices, orders or settings in Clover. Your register works the same before and after.
Three things, per location: how much of each item to prep, with a maximum to prevent 86s; what to order; and how much labor the day supports. Across ClearCOGS customers: a 55% average waste reduction and 10+ hours saved per manager, every week, that used to go into counting and guessing.
No. There is nothing to install and no data team to hire. Once you grant access, ClearCOGS handles the data and the modeling, and each location’s team simply reads the plan in the morning email.
An Operational Decision Platform turns POS data into tomorrow’s prep, ordering and labor plan. Reports tell you what happened last week; an ODP tells each location what to do tomorrow. For Clover operators, the sales the register already captures start working ahead of the day.
