About

The origin story

A restaurant owner in Pune had to close for three days because LPG cylinders ran out during a geopolitical supply disruption. He had a perfect demand forecast — he knew it would be a busy weekend. But the gas ran out.

The information that the shortage was coming was publicly available — news headlines, mandi prices, social chatter. But there was no system watching for it and connecting it to his specific kitchen.

That's why Forkcast tracks supply signals alongside demand. Knowing you'll do ₹35,000 tomorrow is useless if you can't cook. The forecast is the foundation. The supply watch is the insurance.

Principles

What we believe

India-first by default

Western forecasting tools have no concept of Shravan, Ekadashi, or wedding muhurat. We do — and we model them at the dish level.

Forecast first, advice second

We don't give generic advice. We surface specific, dated, rupee-quantified actions for the next 24 hours.

Owners-friendly, not VC-friendly

Pricing is set so a single ingredient catch pays for the year. We are not a usage-based platform that makes more money when you struggle.

Supply intelligence is a moat

Mapping 'Iran sanctions' → 'LPG shortage in Karnataka' → 'your kitchen uses 3 cylinders/week' is the data layer competitors cannot quickly replicate.

One engine, three verticals

Restaurant. Hotel F&B. Catering. The calendar, supply, and cost-tracking layers are shared. The ingest adapters change.
