Know tonight's orders before the first ticket prints.
Essen4u forecasts order volume for every dish in every brand, by hour, using your order history across platforms. Because brands share a line, the forecast is rolled up into prep quantities for the kitchen as a whole.
Shaded bars mark the hours where the forecast exceeds your line capacity band.
From forecast to prep
A forecast is only useful if it tells the line what to do.
History per listing
Orders from every connected platform are grouped by dish, brand and hour.
Patterns by day part
Weekday and weekend shapes, seasonal shifts and recent trend are modelled separately for each brand.
Rolled up to the master dish
Brands that share a base dish are added together, because the kitchen preps the base once.
Turned into prep quantities
Recipe quantities from the master menu convert forecast orders into kilograms, litres and batches.
Per dish, per brand
See forecasts for a single listing or for the shared base dish behind several brands.
Hourly shape
Plan batch timing around the hours that actually peak, not a daily total.
Less waste
Prep what the forecast needs and see the difference between prepped and sold each day.
Staffing signal
Peak bands show when the line needs more hands across all brands combined.
Event aware
Mark holidays, local events or weather days so forecasts learn from them next time.
Feeds pricing
Demand shifts detected here are one of the signals the pricing engine can respond to.
Questions
Forecasting, answered.
How much order history is needed?
Forecasts start with a few weeks of history and improve as more orders are recorded. New dishes borrow patterns from similar dishes in the same brand until they have their own.
Does the forecast include all platforms?
Yes. Orders from every connected platform are combined, and you can view the forecast for any single platform as well.
Can I adjust a forecast manually?
Yes. Override any day or hour, and the prep quantities update with your change.
