Your daily playbook, delivered to your managers
You didn’t build your brand on dashboards, and ClearCOGS doesn’t ask you to. We turn the POS data you already have into daily prep, ordering, and labor guidance, delivered by email every morning or displayed on your KDS, customized to how each of your locations actually runs. No new system to roll out. No new process to enforce. Just clearer answers to the decisions your managers already make every day.
Get Started
Most ClearCOGS customers are live and receiving daily reports within three weeks of kickoff. Our team handles integration, recipe mapping, and operational setup so you can keep running your restaurants.
We pull from your existing POS, map your recipes, and configure reports for each location, all on our side. Your managers don’t need to log in to anything new.
Every kitchen is different. We tailor prep sheets, order guides, and reports to fit how your team already works, not the other way around. Recipe quirks, regional variation, family standards: all accounted for.
ClearCOGS is built by restaurant veterans paired with data scientists. We translate your data into decisions your managers can actually use. A dedicated team that knows the line as well as the model.

You don’t have to throw out what’s working. ClearCOGS layers on top of how your team already operates, same prep cycle, same shelf life rules, same recipes. The difference is that instead of guessing how much to make, your managers get a number every morning that accounts for the weather, the day, recent trends, and three years of your sales history. Most customers see waste drop in the first month without changing a single system.
No. ClearCOGS is a managed service, not a tool. Your prep sheets, order guides, and labor recommendations arrive in your managers’ inbox every morning. They don’t have to log in to anything. If you want a dashboard, leadership gets one, but no one on the line has to use it for the system to work.
The hard part isn’t the AI. It’s the operational translation of knowing which 380 different models to run for which ingredients, in which kitchens, under which conditions. ClearCOGS pairs data scientists with restaurant operators who’ve actually run multi-unit brands. You’d need to hire both, plus the time to build it. We’re already four years in, our models are configured, and reports perfected.
Yes, that’s the point. We map each customer’s recipes, prep increments (e.g., bake croissants in fours), shelf life rules, and operational quirks into the model. If your team runs the line differently, we account for it. We’ve onboarded everything from 4-generation family delis to scratch-kitchen multi-brand commissaries.
ClearCOGS is $150 per location per month. Brands with 15+ locations can qualify for bulk pricing. Most customers see return on investment within the first one to two months through food cost and labor savings. Calculate your savings or book a meeting to talk through your specifics.
