5-Out

Restaurant operators who are tired of guessing how many guests will walk in next week are the people 5-Out is built for. 5-Out is an AI restaurant forecasting tool that predicts upcoming sales and uses those predictions to guide purchasing and labor scheduling.

The forecasts cover revenue, covers (guests) and individual menu items, so you can plan at the level that matters to your kitchen and your floor.

To get there, 5-Out pulls in internal data such as POS sales, labor schedules, reservations and events you are hosting.

It also looks at outside factors including weather, traffic and local events, which often explain why a Tuesday behaves nothing like the last one.

Machine learning models turn all of that into a sales forecast, then into guidance on how many staff to schedule and what to budget for purchasing.

The focus is narrow and practical: two of the biggest controllable costs in a restaurant, food and labor.

If your numbers already live in a POS and a scheduling system, 5-Out is built for putting that data to work rather than leaving it in reports.
