SpotOn + ClearCOGS

Ring it up in SpotOn. Wake up to tomorrow’s prep, order and labor plan.

ClearCOGS reads the sales data in your SpotOn POS and turns it into a location-by-location plan for what to prep, what to order and who to schedule. Read-only, with no change to how your team closes a check.

The POS that runs your floor, feeding the plan that runs your kitchen.

SpotOn handles the check, the tab and the reservation. ClearCOGS takes the sales history SpotOn records and builds tomorrow from it: item-level prep counts, an order guide for your suppliers and a labor budget for each location. ClearCOGS lists SpotOn as a preferred POS partner, and SpotOn reps already refer operators to us. The SpotOn connection is in pilot.

What the integration delivers

Customizable Solutions
Prep counts per item, per location

ClearCOGS reads your SpotOn sales data, then layers in weather, local events and seasonality to set tomorrow’s prep count and a ceiling for each menu item.

Restaurants
An order guide built from real sell-through

The same SpotOn sales data drives a purchasing forecast, so managers order against what the next few days will sell rather than against what the walk-in looks like today.

Seamless Integration
A labor budget that matches the forecast

Daily sales forecasts from your SpotOn history become a labor spend target for each shift, ready to drop into whatever scheduling tool your managers already use.

FAQ

ClearCOGS is given read access to your SpotOn sales data. From that history it builds a forecast for each location and delivers the prep sheet, order guide and labor budget before the day starts. The SpotOn connection is in pilot.

Book a meeting with our team, or ask your SpotOn rep; SpotOn reps already refer operators to ClearCOGS. Because the SpotOn connection is in pilot, we will tell you when your locations can come on. From there, onboarding follows the standard ClearCOGS path: read access to your sales data, a forecast for each location, then the daily plan in your managers’ inboxes. Most ClearCOGS deployments are live in about three weeks once they start.

Reply to any of your morning forecast emails, or message your ClearCOGS implementation rep. We set up the SpotOn read connection for your locations and point your forecasts at it. Your morning emails look the same; only the sales data behind them now comes from SpotOn.

No. The connection is read-only. ClearCOGS pulls sales history out of SpotOn and never writes back, so menus, pricing, reports and settings stay exactly as your team configured them.

It builds the next day’s decisions.

No. SpotOn is a preferred POS partner, and ClearCOGS also integrates with major POS systems including Toast, Square, and Oracle Simphony. Every connection is one-way read access, so a group on more than one POS still gets one plan per location.
