The problem

  • Prep for a busy day on a quiet one, and fresh food goes in the bin.
  • Under-prep for the rush, and dishes sell out.
  • Every weekday and hour is different.

How ForecastMyShop helps

  • Hourly forecasts learn your lunch and dinner rush and how each weekday differs, corrected for each weekday and hour from your own recent sales.
  • Closures and events from your calendar are taken into account.
  • Multiply the forecast by your recipe quantities to plan prep and orders (we don't know your recipes).

What data you need

A till export with the date and time of each sale, the dish or item, and the quantity. Excel, CSV and pasted tables all work, and messy exports are organized for you. More about the data →

Every forecast proves itself. We hide your most recent sales, forecast them, and show how close we got, compared with a simple "same as last time" method. If the simple method is as good, we say so.
