Your kitchen knows what to make, before the rush hits.

Each morning, ClearCOGS sends one webhook per location to Fresh KDS with item-level prep quantities: each item, the expected prep amount, and the maximum. Those numbers appear on every kitchen tablet before the shift starts, synced in real time. No hardware install, no new training, no app updates.

No. The integration runs on the Fresh KDS tablets you already have. Prep quantities show up on the same screens your team works from during service, and the layout updates daily without app updates.

ClearCOGS reads your POS sales history along with weather, local events, and seasonality, and builds an item-level forecast for each location: each item, the expected prep amount, and the maximum. There is no manual data entry. The kitchen team just sees the numbers on the screens they already use.

Most kitchens rely on gut feel and yesterday’s leftovers, which is why they swing between over-prepping and running out. A forecast built from your own sales history answers the question per item, per location: what to make, and where to stop. That is the number ClearCOGS puts on the Fresh KDS screen before each shift.

Yes. Over-prep is one of the biggest controllable costs in a kitchen, and it happens because the day starts with a guess. ClearCOGS customers average 55% lower food waste (company-stated). Putting the forecast on the kitchen display closes the last gap: the plan sits in front of the team that executes it.

No. Your POS keeps running the front of house and Fresh KDS keeps routing live orders. ClearCOGS reads sales data from the POS and adds a planning layer on top, so the same screens that show what to make right now also show what to have ready.

ClearCOGS integrates with major POS systems including Toast, Square, and Oracle Simphony. The connection is one-way read access to sales data, so nothing about how you use your POS changes.

An operational decision platform (ODP) for restaurants turns POS data into tomorrow’s prep, ordering, and labor plan. Where analytics tools report what already happened, an ODP tells each location’s team what to do next. The Fresh KDS integration is that idea made physical: the decision shows up on the kitchen screen.

ClearCOGS connects to your POS, builds each location’s forecast, and switches on the Fresh KDS feed. Most setups are live in about three weeks, and your kitchen keeps using its screens exactly as it does today.

Tell your ClearCOGS Implementation rep or reply to one of your daily prep sheet emails, and we’ll switch on the Fresh KDS feed so your prep forecast lands on the kitchen display every morning. No new hardware, no new training.
