Foodcast
What it is
Foodcast is web software for restaurant sales forecasting, stock planning and staffing decisions. It translates city events into expected covers and analyzes 24 months of sales history for seasonal and weekly patterns. The algorithm compares forecasts with actual sales daily and adjusts for weather, local events, holidays and strikes through a live activity feed. Foodcast claims 95% forecast accuracy and lists proactive weather alerts, a local events calendar and staffing recommendations based on customer flow. Historical sales can sync automatically from connected POS systems, with forecasts delivered by newsletter. Listed integrations include Lightspeed, L'Addition, SumUp, Zelty, Innovorder, Jalia, Clyo Systems, MyPOS, PI Electronique and Cashpad. Plans start at €49 a month and include a 30-day trial, with the first month free on each listed plan. Basic costs €49 a month, Pro €69 a month and Enterprise €99 a month. Basic and Pro exclude multi-site management and API integration; Enterprise includes them. Additional per-service, per-dish and per-channel forecasts are marked coming soon.
