Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Hotel food & beverage operations are typically run on gut feel and historical spreadsheets, leading to over‑ordering, food waste, stockouts, mispriced menus, and missed revenue from poorly targeted promotions. This solution uses AI to continuously optimize menus, pricing, purchasing, and staffing based on real demand data across the hotel’s systems.

Value Drivers

Reduced food waste and spoilage via better demand forecasting and purchasingHigher F&B revenue through dynamic menu engineering and pricingImproved margin control via optimized cost of goods and labor planningBetter guest experience from more relevant offers and fewer stockoutsFaster decision-making for F&B managers through automated insights and recommendations

Strategic Moat

Deep integration with hotel/POS/PMS ecosystems and proprietary transaction data from many hotel clients, plus embedded workflow in existing F&B operations software, creating switching costs and a data network effect over time.
