  • Future-proofing your QSR

AI is the new buzzword on everybody’s lips. It’s no surprise then that sales forecasting, especially when powered by machine learning, is transforming how QSRs plan, prepare, and perform. YUMBI’s all-new predictive sales analytics built into the Store Management Dashboard offers you the insights you need to optimise your operations and boost profitability!

Plan potently with predictive insights

YUMBI’s machine learning model analyses over 26 months of sales data alongside factors like public holidays, school breaks, payday weekends, and marketing campaigns to predict daily revenue. This accurate forecasting helps your QSR strike the perfect balance between supply and demand. With a current forecast error of less than 10%, this precision reduces the risk of over or under-stocking, ensuring inventory levels align with customer demand.

Optimising staff and resources

Knowing your busiest times will allow for better staff scheduling. By anticipating peak hours, you’re able to allocate staff efficiently, avoiding under-staffed rushes or unnecessary labour costs during quieter periods. This results in improved service levels and happier customers.

Enhancing the customer experience

Sales forecasts don’t just keep the back-end running smoothly – they directly impact the customer experience. By understanding demand patterns, you can prepare to serve customers more quickly, especially during high-traffic periods like school holidays or month-end paydays. Furthermore, insights into customer preferences enable targeted promotions and menu adjustments, creating a more personalised experience to enhance your reputation.

Data-driven decisions

The power of YUMBI’s sales forecasting lies in its ability to interpret complex data points. Pricing changes, order sizes, customer engagement, web traffic, and marketing efforts all feed into the model. Additionally, regional trends such as public holidays, popular sports events and school closures offer valuable context, allowing you to make street-smart strategic decisions.

Future-proof your QSR

With YUMBI’s sales forecasting, you get the tools you need to anticipate challenges and seize opportunities. Whether it’s fine-tuning marketing efforts, reducing waste, or optimising staff schedules, embracing predictive insights puts you in control of your success going forward.

Take your QSR to the max by predicting sales and making better informed decisions to  a more profitable, efficient, and customer-focused business.
