There are hundreds of thousands of restaurants in US alone. Running a restaurant can be challenging and tiring. Not many restaurant managers or owners would enjoy doing data analysis after a long and hectic day. ClearCOGS is a company using data analytics, machine learning, and forecasting to help with restaurant operation. The company works with a restaurant to import recipe, menu, and daily procedures. Data from the POS system or Back of House system are connected as well. Then the restaurant manager can use the ClearCOGS service to set up automated daily reports on inventory reporting, forecasting, and operation guide. Recently, ClearCOGS has been integrating ChatGPT into their service. With the combination of ChatGPT and the analytics/forecasting capabilities, a restaurant manager can interactively customize daily reports, ask questions, and get data-based answers. For example, a manager can simply ask a chatbot how likely the beef inventory will run out today, how much prep for chicken should be done, or which dish is selling really well. With an AI operations manager, restaurants should make faster and better-informed decisions.
