What Bad Forecasting Costs You

Guessing demand drives up food costs, wastes labor, and leaves guests empty-handed.

01

Food waste from over-ordering

Ordering on gut feel means buying more than you sell, turning margin into spoilage every week.

Solved byFullkitch's item-level ML forecast calculates exactly what each menu item will sell so the procurement agent orders only what you need.

02

Stockouts on your bestsellers

Under-ordering your top sellers means lost sales and frustrated guests at exactly the wrong moment.

Solved byLive demand signals update par levels daily so the procurement agent catches shortfalls before your vendors close for the day.

03

Schedules that miss the floor

Staffing decisions made without a demand forecast leave you overstaffed on slow nights and shorthanded on your busiest shifts.

Solved byFullkitch's smart scheduling agent reads the same live forecast to build shifts that match real anticipated covers.

You do not hand over the kitchen on day one.

  1. Connect what you already run

    Point Fullkitch at your POS, accounting and payroll. It reads sales history, invoices and rosters to learn how your kitchen actually behaves.

  2. Watch it forecast before it acts

    The models forecast demand per item and surface the counts, orders and prep they would raise. You approve the first weeks and correct anything that looks wrong.

  3. Hand over the recurring work

    Once the forecasts hold, the agents run counting, ordering, prep planning and scheduling on their own. You keep the exceptions and the judgement calls.

One Forecast Powers Your Entire Back of House

Fullkitch connects a single item-level demand forecast to every downstream decision — ordering, prep, scheduling, and P&L — so nothing falls through the cracks.

Demand Forecasting

Forecast Every Item Every Day

Always-on machine learning reads your POS history and predicts daily demand per menu item with confidence scores. Every other module in Fullkitch runs from this same live prediction, making the forecast the architectural foundation of your entire back of house.

  • 95% item-level accuracy
  • Updated daily automatically
  • Powers ordering prep and scheduling

Autonomous Ordering

Turn Forecasts Into Purchase Orders

The procurement agent checks live stock levels, pulls projected demand, sets dynamic par levels, calculates reorder quantities, and drafts purchase orders for one-click manager approval with automatic SMS to your vendors.

  • Dynamic par levels from live demand
  • One-click PO approval
  • Vendor SMS built in

Kitchen Prep

Forecast-Driven Station Prep Lists

The prep agent converts the demand forecast into station-level tasks showing what to make, how much, who owns it, and in what priority order — so your kitchen executes against a plan instead of instinct.

  • Station-level prep assignments
  • Quantity tied to forecast
  • Priority and time estimates

Labor Scheduling

Staff to Forecast Not to Habit

Smart scheduling reads the same live demand forecast and layers in staff availability, labor laws, and your house rules to generate optimized shifts with automatic labor-law compliance — replacing the manual spreadsheet entirely.

  • Forecast-matched shift building
  • Automatic labor-law compliance
  • Availability and rules applied

Questions operators ask

How does Fullkitch generate its restaurant demand forecast?

Fullkitch uses machine learning trained on your own POS sales history to predict daily demand at the individual menu-item level. The model runs continuously, updating projections as new sales data comes in. Because every module — ordering, prep, and scheduling — draws from the same live forecast, the output is not just a number on a dashboard but an operational plan your whole back of house executes against.

What accuracy can I expect from the demand forecast?

Fullkitch delivers 95% item-level forecast accuracy. That figure applies at the individual menu-item level, not just total covers or revenue, which is what makes it actionable for ordering and prep decisions. Higher item-level accuracy means tighter par levels, fewer stockouts, and less end-of-day spoilage.

How long does it take to get the forecast up and running?

Fullkitch goes live in one week. AI onboarding agents map your menus, recipes, vendors, par levels, invoices, and schedules on day one. For multi-unit operators, each additional site adds roughly one day. There is no six-month implementation or professional services engagement required.

Which POS systems does Fullkitch connect to for historical sales data?

Fullkitch integrates natively with Toast, Square, Lightspeed, Clover, Brink, and Revel. Your historical sales data flows directly into the forecasting engine on day one, so the model has what it needs to generate accurate item-level predictions from the start.

Does the demand forecast automatically trigger ordering and prep tasks?

Yes. The forecast is the foundation every other module runs on. The procurement agent reads live demand projections to draft purchase orders for manager approval. The prep agent converts the same forecast into station-level prep task lists. Managers approve rather than build these plans from scratch, which keeps humans in control without the manual work.

Is Fullkitch built for independent restaurants or multi-unit operators?

Both. Independent restaurants and cafes benefit from item-level forecasting that replaces gut-feel ordering and one-size shifts. Multi-unit and franchise operators get a single source of truth across locations with consistent forecast-driven ordering, prep, and scheduling — and one additional day of onboarding per new site.
