The Problem
- •Huge food waste from unpredictable Sunday lunch numbers
- •Running out of popular dishes while having surplus of others
- •Customer disappointment when favourite dishes unavailable
- •Staff stress from not knowing how much to prepare
What We Tried First (Failed!)
- ✗Guessing based on weather forecasts - still inaccurate
- ✗Reducing menu options - lost customer variety
- ✗Cook-to-order system - too slow for Sunday volume
What Actually Worked
- ✓Implemented AI-powered demand prediction system
- ✓Created easy online preorder system with payment processing
- ✓Automated reminder system for regular customers
- ✓Dynamic pricing for peak times and popular dishes
- ✓Integration with kitchen prep schedules
Sunday lunch went from our most stressful service to our most profitable. Knowing exactly what to cook changed everything.
