Will tomorrow
be profitable?
Tomorrow's revenue, your exact shopping list, your staff plan, and any supply shocks heading your way. Ready before you go to bed.
Stop guessing tomorrow. Stop wasting today.
Range ₹22,400 – ₹27,200
60–70% of Indian restaurants
close in year one.
The food is rarely the problem. The numbers are. Most owners don't know their break-even, price dishes by feel, and discover a bad month when the cash runs out.
Financial Blindness
No break-even awareness. Food cost climbs from 30% to 48% over weeks. The owner notices at month-end, when the money's already gone.
Demand Guessing
Ordering by memory causes 20–30% food waste. No one connects Shravan fasting to tomorrow's prep list. ₹18,000 of chicken, wasted.
Supply Blindness
LPG runs out, onion prices triple, cooking oil doubles. No warning, no buffer plan. The restaurant that was profitable on paper closes for three days.
Three steps to never guessing again
Connect your POS
Plug in your Petpooja directly (zero daily effort, syncs every night) or upload a CSV from UrbanPiper or Posist. Auto-detection maps your sales history in minutes. No IT help needed.
Forkcast knows India
Festivals, fasting days, mandi prices, weather, cricket, salary cycles. All weighted for your cuisine type and location, so the forecast actually fits your kitchen.
Tomorrow's decision brief
Revenue vs break-even, shopping list, staffing plan, and supply warnings, on the dashboard every evening, with an optional WhatsApp ping so you can act before you sleep.
Every decision flows from one forecast
Connected panels for every daily decision, from what to buy this morning to which dishes are silently killing your margin.
Revenue Forecast
Tomorrow's predicted revenue with confidence range. The model explains its reasoning (festival uplift, rain effect, salary week) so you understand every number.
Break-even Check
Enter your fixed costs once. Every morning you see: "Forecast ₹24,800 › Break-even ₹15,878. Profit contribution ₹8,922." Every month: the day you hit break-even.
Ingredient Shopping List
Exact quantities per ingredient, from your recipe cards and tomorrow's forecast dish mix. Ready to forward to your sabzi vendor.
Peak-Hour Staffing Plan
Cooks and floor staff scaled to cover count. Shift hours derived from your actual hourly order pattern, not a guess.
Menu Engineering
See which dishes actually make money, not just which ones sell. “Butter Chicken: 240 orders a week but only 26% margin. Reprice ₹20 or cut portion cost.”
Supply Early Warnings
LPG, chicken, onion, oil. 2–7 days before a shortage hits your margin. Sourced from mandi prices and news signals, scanned every 6 hours.
Food Cost Tracker
Watches your ingredient spend vs revenue every week. When food cost creeps from 32% to 40% silently, Forkcast catches it before the month is gone.
