You’re stuck in Excel, cross-referencing POS data and event bookings, trying to guess next week’s order. As a Food Service Manager, you waste hours each week toggling between spreadsheets, emails, and inventory logs—hoping you don’t overbuy or run out. The stress spikes before big banquets or menu changes, and one wrong estimate means wasted inventory or unhappy guests.
An AI agent that predicts food and beverage order quantities for food service managers, reducing waste and saving hours every week.

The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
In the hospitality industry, Food Service Managers at hotels, restaurants, and catering companies spend hours pulling numbers from Toast, Square, and Google Sheets to estimate food and beverage needs. Manual forecasting is tedious and error-prone, especially when prepping for special events or seasonal shifts. Relying on gut instinct leads to over-ordering, spoilage, and emergency restocking runs. The real pain: you’re forced to choose between wasted money and disappointed guests.
