The prep sheet, 5:30 AM, every location

Before the shift starts, every manager has an item-level prep sheet by daypart: what to make, and where to stop. The decision it replaces is the one most kitchens make from memory, and it is the one that produces most of the waste. If sales run ahead or behind during the day, the forecast updates. The sample above is a real daily prep sheet, as emailed; customers see a 55% average waste reduction.

From the same forecast

The order guide

Next week’s quantities come from the same forecast as the prep sheet, so prep and ordering never disagree.

The anomaly alert

When a location’s sales run away from the pattern, the right person hears about it the same day, with the seasonality behind it.

The labor forecast

Hours by day and daypart, delivered before you write the schedule, used alongside the scheduling tool you already run.

How the forecast gets made

1. Connect

A read-only connection to your POS. Nothing changes in how your team uses it, and nobody learns new software.

2. Forecast

Sales history plus weather, events and seasonality, at the item level, for each location. 100M+ data points behind the models.

3. Deliver

The plan lands by email and in the app before open, and updates during the day.

FAQ
The questions buyers ask
Short answers to what operators ask before a first call.

Anything else, bring it to the call.

Nothing before the call. If you move ahead, we connect to your POS read-only and build the forecasts from your sales history.

Most operators are live in about three weeks from kickoff.

No. It reads from your POS and works alongside the scheduling and inventory tools you already use.

ClearCOGS is priced per location, and pricing depends on your POS and location count. Ask on the call and we will walk you through it.

No slides. We ask about the problem you bring, show the matching report, and tell you honestly whether ClearCOGS fits.
