What it does

Staffing Plan in plain English

From tomorrow's forecast and your kitchen's throughput rating (cooks ร— stations ร— pass speed), Forkcast recommends the cook count and floor staff for each shift. We surface the peak hour explicitly and flag if the forecast exceeds your throughput cap.
Examples

What you actually see

'Tomorrow: 4 cooks (not 6), 2 floor. Peak hour 1pm. โ‚น3,000 saved on a slow Monday.'
'Tomorrow: 7 cooks, 4 floor, 1 expediter. Forecast 187 covers vs throughput cap 130 โ€” call in one extra cook for dinner pass.'
'Saturday wedding catering job: 14 chefs + 6 helpers locked. Book transport before Friday peak rate kicks in.'
