Simphony records the sale. ClearCOGS plans the next day.
Simphony already holds the record of what each location sells: which items, how many, when and where. ClearCOGS reads that sales history, adds weather, local events and seasonality, and hands each location tomorrow’s plan: prep quantities per item, order quantities sized to expected demand and a labor budget that fits the day. Data flows one way, so Simphony runs exactly as it does now.
Contact Our TeamWhat Simphony operators get every morning
ClearCOGS reads item-level sales history from Simphony (which items sold, how many and at which location) and turns it into each morning’s prep sheet: every item, the expected quantity and a maximum, so the line knows where to stop.
The same forecast drives what to bring in. Managers order against the demand expected this week instead of repeating last week’s invoice, so the walk-in holds what the forecast says will sell, not what sold last time.
Simphony sales history feeds a daily sales forecast for each location, which becomes labor spend guidance built on your own rules, delivered on your scheduling cadence and working alongside the scheduling tool you already use.

Why Oracle MICROS Simphony + ClearCOGS
Simphony is where your sales are recorded, so a forecast built from its history starts from the same figures your operations and finance teams already reconcile against. No re-keyed spreadsheets.
Staff ring checks in Simphony exactly as they do today. No new hardware, no re-training, nothing extra for the kitchen to learn.
Kickoff starts with your Simphony sales history and ends with a forecast in every manager’s inbox. ClearCOGS deployments typically go live in about three weeks, with no software to install and no change to how the line works.
ClearCOGS works with major POS systems including Toast, Square and Oracle Simphony, reading sales data one way, out of the POS and never back in. Nothing about your Simphony setup changes, and the same plan format reaches every location in the group, whichever POS it runs.
ClearCOGS takes the sales history your Simphony system already records, one way, with nothing written back. From that history, plus weather, local events and seasonality, it builds an item-level forecast for each location and delivers a prep sheet, ordering guidance and a labor budget before the day starts. Nothing for your team to key in.
Book a meeting and tell us how many locations run Simphony. We connect to your sales history, build each location’s forecast and switch on daily delivery. Across all POS systems, ClearCOGS deployments go from kickoff to live in about three weeks.
Reply to any of your daily forecast emails or message your implementation rep with the locations that run Simphony. We connect their sales history and add them to the forecasts you already receive, so every location works from the same plan.
No. ClearCOGS is read-only. Sales history comes out of Simphony and nothing goes back in: not menu items, prices, checks or settings. Your POS configuration, reporting and daily workflows stay exactly as they are.
ClearCOGS integrates with major POS systems including Toast, Square, and Oracle Simphony.
On average, ClearCOGS customers cut food waste 55%, lower labor costs 15% and get back 10+ hours per manager every week (company-stated). Results depend on how closely teams follow the plan, which is why every prep quantity comes with a maximum as well as an expected amount.
