Forecasts and suggestions

The AI Recommendations module needs Reports. It comes with Enterprise and is an add-on on Starter and Professional. Owners and managers use it; the kitchen sees forecasts to plan prep.

Forecasts are plain statistics from your own sales: nothing is sent to an outside service.

Dish forecasts

Forecasts shows, for each dish, how many you can expect to sell on each of the coming days (up to two weeks), with a likely range (about 8 days in 10 fall inside it) and a confidence.

Each forecast comes from the same weekday over the last 8 weeks, with recent weeks counting more. A dish needs a few weeks of sales for high confidence. Today’s column also shows what has sold so far.

Stock you’ll need

Choose an outlet and how many days ahead (up to a week). Kripos works out what those dishes take from recipes (or from your stock items’ menu usage) and compares it with what the outlet has on hand:

• what’s short, costliest first, and its value;
• dishes with nothing set up for what they use, which aren’t counted.

Draft purchase orders

With Purchasing installed, choose Draft purchase orders: Kripos drafts one order per supplier for what’s short, minus what’s already on order, in whole packs from each item’s preferred supplier. Check and submit them in Purchasing as usual. Items nobody sells are named. Doing it twice drafts nothing twice.

Suggestions at the till

When dishes are on an order, the till offers up to three that customers often have with them (“Often ordered with this: + Lime juice”). Tap one to add it. Suggestions come from the outlet’s last 8 weeks of orders and work offline.
