“Inventory management is a direct result of forecast accuracy. Fourth’s system forecast is consistently better than 90% accurate and, with the local knowledge and experience of our restaurant managers, the adjusted forecast typically runs at 95% or better. Managers love how it frees up their time and makes it easy for our cooks to take control of production. The real-time depletion of cooked products from the production screen means the cooks get notified when they need to cook products sooner. This means our customers are less likely to have to wait.”
