meez + ClearCOGS
meez is where your culinary team writes, costs and scales recipes. ClearCOGS is where tomorrow’s plan gets made: what to prep, what to order and how to staff each location, built from POS sales history. The integration links the two through Snowflake data sharing: ClearCOGS reads the recipes you maintain in meez, so each morning’s plan is built on the recipes your kitchen actually follows, with far less keying in by hand. The connection is built, tested and rolling out.
See how prep forecasting worksWhat the integration delivers
Through a Snowflake data share, ClearCOGS reads the recipe records your team maintains in meez: each recipe, its ingredients and the sub-recipes behind it. Read access only; nothing is written back.
Getting a forecast running normally means keying recipes into the forecasting system. With meez supplying them, that setup step shrinks, and the prep plan starts from recipes that already match what the kitchen makes.
Every morning, each location gets an item-level forecast built from its own sales history plus weather, local events and seasonality, expressed as prep targets and order quantities. The meez recipes behind it are what make those numbers match your kitchen’s actual builds.

Data Points
Why meez + ClearCOGS
The Snowflake data-sharing connection between meez and ClearCOGS is built and tested, not a concept, and it is rolling out now.
Your culinary team keeps writing, costing and scaling recipes in meez. ClearCOGS reads them from there, so far fewer recipes ever get re-keyed to get a forecast.
A typical ClearCOGS rollout goes from kickoff to live in about three weeks, and recipe setup is one of the slower steps inside it. Reading recipes from meez trims that step.
Sales history comes in through a one-way read from major POS systems including Toast, Square, and Oracle Simphony. Nothing changes at the register, nothing changes in meez, and the kitchen’s routine stays exactly as it is.
Your meez recipe data reaches ClearCOGS through Snowflake data sharing, a read-only connection available on meez plans that include the data share. ClearCOGS uses those recipes to shorten the manual recipe setup, forecasts demand for each menu item from your POS history, and sends each location a prep plan every morning. The integration is built and tested and is rolling out now.
The recipes you maintain in meez, with their ingredients and sub-recipes. ClearCOGS maps its menu-item forecast onto those recipes to turn expected sales into the quantities your kitchen preps. Nothing flows back to meez.
No. The connection is read-only. ClearCOGS reads the shared recipe data and never writes to your meez account, so your recipes, costs and training steps stay exactly as your team left them.
Book a meeting. We connect ClearCOGS to your POS and start building each location’s forecast; if your meez plan includes the recipe data share, you request it on the meez side and we take the recipes from there, which trims the setup work. From kickoff, most ClearCOGS accounts are live in about three weeks.
Reply to any daily prep sheet email or message your ClearCOGS Implementation rep. If your meez plan includes the recipe data share, we will walk you through requesting it from meez and, as the rollout reaches your account, use those recipes to cut down the manual recipe setup on our side.
No. ClearCOGS pulls sales history from major POS systems including Toast, Square, and Oracle Simphony, and meez recipes sit alongside whichever one you run. The POS connection is a one-way read of sales data, so your front of house keeps running exactly as it does today.
No. meez remains your recipe, costing and training system. ClearCOGS adds the planning layer on top: from the recipes meez holds and the sales your POS records, it tells each location what to prep, order and staff tomorrow.
