What is HoReCaWave?
HoReCaWave is an AI forecasting software for restaurants, chiringuitos and beach clubs on the Costa del Sol. We combine weather, Puerto de Málaga cruise calls and local events into daily staffing and inventory recommendations – via WhatsApp, email or dashboard.
From Málaga for the Costa del Sol – pilot launching in 2026 with restaurants, chiringuitos and beach clubs in Málaga, Marbella, Torremolinos, Fuengirola and Benalmádena.
Comparison
POS analytics, gut feel or HoReCaWave?
Three ways to plan your day. Here's where HoReCaWave helps – and where it doesn't.
| POS analytics | Gut feel | HoReCaWave | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Looks into the future | |||
| Includes weather, cruise and events | partial | ||
| Gives concrete staffing and inventory numbers | |||
| Learns your style over time |
The problem
Gut feel costs 5–8 % of revenue.
Seasonal volatility, shifting weather, event and cruise spikes – planning by what last year did is expensive.
!
Food waste
Fish, seafood and fresh tapas don't keep – every kilo dumped counts double.
!
Missed revenue
If the cruise docks at 9:30 and you don't know, 200 covers eat somewhere else.
The 5–8 % range is an internal model, backed by NRA food-waste data and Deloitte predictive-scheduling research. See methodology & sources

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Do I need a POS to start?
No. To get started, weekly patterns and average daily revenue are enough. POS integration (Lightspeed, Square, TPV-FIWI) is part of the Pro plan and further improves accuracy.
What if I don't have historical data?
We start with industry benchmarks for your location, concept and size. After 4–6 weeks the model is calibrated to you.
What about GDPR and privacy?
We host in the EU (Frankfurt), process only aggregated daily data – no guest or staff data. Standard data processing agreement included.
How do I cancel?
Annual term, billed monthly. A 60-day no-fault exit applies during the first 60 days. After that, cancel at the end of the term. No setup fees, no hidden costs.
What languages does the daily message come in?
Spanish, German and English. Configurable per venue. Multi-location groups can pick a language per recipient.
How long does onboarding take?
Under an hour. We need address, seating, concept and – if available – an export of the last 6–12 months of daily revenue.
