5-Out

5-Out is an AI-driven forecasting and optimization platform designed specifically for restaurants and hospitality businesses. It connects to existing systems such as POS, labor scheduling, and inventory tools to generate real-time, automated forecasts for sales, labor needs, and product demand. Using machine learning, 5-Out analyzes historical transaction data, weather, events, and other external factors to predict demand at a granular level, often down to 15-minute increments.

The platform helps operators schedule staff more accurately, reduce overtime, and prevent both overstaffing and understaffing. It also supports smarter inventory and purchasing decisions by predicting ingredient usage and reducing food waste. Managers can view intuitive dashboards that highlight forecasted sales, labor targets, and performance against plan, enabling data-driven adjustments throughout the day. Multi-unit operators gain visibility across locations, with consolidated reporting and location-level optimization.
