Core Features / Part 04

Prep the right amount, before the rush lands.

Forecasting turns the nightly guess into a number with reasoning behind it. Heipung reads your own history and predicts what to prep and how much - by time slot and by weekday - so the line starts peak already stocked instead of scrambling into it.

It learns your patterns, not a generic curve

The forecast is trained on your orders - your items, your dayparts, your weekends. A Tuesday lunch and a Saturday night are treated as the different animals they are.

It calls prep by slot, in units you use

Predictions arrive as prep quantities per time window - bases, portions, packs - phrased the way your line already thinks, not as an abstract sales chart.

It adjusts as the real day unfolds

As actual orders come in against the forecast, the picture updates, so an unusually busy early evening nudges the later prep call rather than being ignored.

An honest note

What feeds it, and how far to trust it early

A forecast is only as good as its history. We would rather be straight about that than oversell it.

  • It needs a few weeks of your own orders before it is worth leaning on
  • Early predictions are directional; confidence grows as history deepens
  • One-off spikes - a festival, an outage - are context you still add
  • It advises the prep call; the head of kitchen still makes it

By slot and weekday

Separate reads for each part of the day and each day of the week, because demand is not one flat line.

Built from real orders

Your history is the training data - no borrowed averages from someone else's kitchen.

A call, not a black box

The prediction comes with the pattern behind it, so the number is one you can sanity-check.
