One upload. No IT project. Opti reads your POS, your online-ordering exports, your recipe BOM, and your supplier invoices — then tells you tomorrow's prep, this week's schedule, tonight's feature, and the upsell line for pre-shift.
Forecast called for clear. Rain hit at 6:08 PM. By 7:30, dine-in down 28% and DoorDash up 41%. Over-prepped dine-in stations bled food; under-staffed delivery missed tickets. Opti would have seen the radar shift at 5:40 PM, re-staffed two cooks to delivery, and pulled back entrée prep. Net: ~$680 saved on one shift.
Tuesday lunch. You prepped 28 lb of brisket; you sold 19 lb. The 9-lb overage at $4.10 cost = $37 in one shift. Opti's forecast for next Tuesday: 19.4 lb ± 2.1 lb. The prep card says 21 lb. That's $29 saved every similar Tuesday — starting next week.
One over-prepped tray of brisket is $80 down the drain. One under-staffed Friday peak is 12 lost tickets. Neither lands on the P&L until next month.
You upload your numbers once. Opti watches your prep, your stations, your online channels, and your supplier costs around the clock. Every recommendation comes with the math and the dollar impact. You approve, override, or ignore — Opti never publishes a schedule or sends a PO without you.
Brisket −10 lb because Tuesday's forecast is soft. Chicken thighs +8 because Wednesday's game-night feature lands.
