For restaurants

Grow the restaurant. Keep more money. Stop guessing.

Evidence for site decisions, money & operations, and demand direction. Once you are open, Forkcast turns POS sales, the Indian calendar, and supply signals into tomorrow's operating plan.
The good-food myth

60–70% of Indian restaurants close in year one

Good food is table stakes. Businesses die from the wrong lease, silent food-cost creep, empty hours, and no demand plan.

01

Wrong site / wrong concept

Lease and cuisine signed on vibes. Capital dies before the kitchen opens.

02

Money leaks

No break-even. Food cost climbs silently. Aggregator revenue that nets negative.

03

No demand plan

Empty hours and discount traps while the kitchen waits for word of mouth.

Money & operations

Once you are open: will tomorrow pay?

Each panel is built from your POS data and India-specific signals.

How it works

Three steps to stop guessing

01
Connect your POS
Plug in Petpooja directly or upload a CSV from UrbanPiper or Posist. Auto-detection maps sales history in minutes.
02
India signals, built in
Festivals, fasting days, weather, salary cycles, IPL fixtures, and live mandi prices feed the model alongside your sales.
03
Daily brief, one tap
Each evening: tomorrow's forecast, break-even check, shopping list, staffing plan, and supply alerts.
