Before & after
From manual to automatic
Waste and shortages cost you margin daily
- Orders are based on intuition, not data — too much or too little purchasing is the norm.
- Weather changes and events cause unexpected peaks and valleys that aren't factored in.
- Manual inventory checks take time and are often skipped in the bustle of the day.
Order exactly what you need
- Analyzes reservations, walk-in patterns, and weather forecasts to predict expected occupancy.
- Generates ordering suggestions per supplier based on recipes, inventory, and expected turnover.
- Alerts for products nearing expiration so you can still use them in the daily menu.
- Report on waste, procurement costs, and margin per dish.

Frequently asked questions
How does the agent decide what to order?
It analyzes reservations, walk-in patterns and weather forecasts to estimate expected occupancy, then generates ordering suggestions per supplier based on your recipes, current inventory and expected turnover. It also flags products nearing expiration so they can still be used in the daily menu.
Can the agent place orders directly with our suppliers?
Yes, if your supplier has an ordering portal or API, the agent can place the order directly after your approval. Where no such connection exists, the agent prepares the order for you to place manually.
What does this agent cost and how long does implementation take?
Standard agents like this start from €2,500, custom builds from €5,000, depending on the number of POS, supplier and reservation systems involved. Implementation typically takes around 3 weeks. A free, no-obligation AI scan is a good way to see what fits your kitchen and suppliers.
How is our sales and reservation data handled?
Data is hosted within the EU and a data processing agreement can be arranged. The agent only uses the sales, reservation and inventory data needed to generate ordering suggestions.
Which POS, reservation and supplier systems does the agent connect with?
The agent connects with POS systems such as Lightspeed, Untill and Trivec, reservation platforms including Eetnu and TheFork, and suppliers such as Sligro and Bidfood. During intake we check which of your specific systems can be connected.
Can the ordering logic be adjusted to our kitchen and menu?
Yes, recipes, portion sizes and preferred suppliers are configured around your kitchen. We monitor how well suggestions match actual usage and adjust the model, and update connections if a POS or supplier system changes.
Can we track how the ordering suggestions affect waste and cost?
Yes, the agent reports on waste, procurement cost and margin per dish, so you can see the effect of following its ordering suggestions over time and adjust recipes or portions accordingly.
