Inventory forecasting for commercial kitchens

Know what to order before the walk-in runs low.

PantryCircuit turns your sales history, recipes and stock counts into ingredient demand estimates and clear purchase recommendations, with every number traceable to its inputs.

Forecasts are statistical estimates, not guarantees. The sample dashboard uses fictional data.

How it works

Connect your data

Upload sales history as CSV, list recipes with portion quantities, and count stock with use-by dates.

Forecast with real statistics

A numerical model (day-of-week patterns plus trend) estimates dish demand. Recipes convert that into ingredient demand.

Order with the reasoning shown

Quantities account for usable stock, lead times, safety stock, pack sizes and minimums. Click any line to see the steps and what-ifs.

What PantryCircuit does

Ingredient demand forecasting

Uses sales history, menu plans, known events and configured seasonal factors, and shows an 80% range, not a single false-precision number.

Recipe-to-inventory intelligence

Dish forecasts become kilograms and litres through configurable recipes and trim yield.

Purchase recommendations

Accounts for usable stock, inbound orders, supplier lead times and safety-stock settings.

Waste-risk analysis

Simulates first-expired-first-out usage to flag stock likely to pass its use-by date, and overstock beyond your cover limits.

Supplier comparison

Compares price, pack size, minimum order, delivery fees and lead time, and optimises across the whole basket.

Forecast explanations

Inputs, assumptions and sensitivity for each recommendation. Amazon Bedrock can phrase the explanation; it never produces the numbers.

Numbers first, language second. Quantities come from a deterministic forecasting and inventory model. A language model only rewrites results already computed, and its output is checked against the source figures.

Where it fits

Restaurant groups

Compare sites, consolidate supplier orders and keep purchasing rules consistent across locations.

Caterers

Add confirmed events as known demand so large orders are in the numbers before the prep list is written.

Commercial & contract kitchens

Plan from cycle menus and headcounts; watch shelf life on high-volume perishables.

Single-site restaurants

Replace the weekly guess with a number you can check and adjust.

Purchasing calculator

Uses the same order logic as the product. Enter one ingredient; results are estimates based on your inputs.
