Restaurants

Labor and food cost are your biggest levers. A 4 % forecast improvement = €8,000–€20,000 per year.

Definition

Restaurant forecasting for the Costa del Sol combines weather, events, weekday and your history into daily staffing and inventory recommendations per shift. Optimised for owner-led venues with 100–300 seats, with or without POS integration.

Where it hurts today

Staffing on gut feel

8–12 service staff at peak, 4–8 in low season – guess wrong and you eat the margin or lose the table.

Inventory based on last year

Fish, tapas and fresh mise-en-place are still ordered against last year's heuristic – weather, cruise and events stay outside.

Cruise waves missed

When a ship docks at 9:30 and 1,500 day-trippers flood the city, a Wednesday turns into a Saturday.

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.
