How will I know ClearCOGS is working?

You'll see the effects of ClearCOGS show up in two places: the way your managers feel about their mornings, and the numbers on your monthly P&L.

What changes for your managers (within the first week or two):

• They spend less time staring at last week's sales trying to guess the day's prep
• They open every shift with a clear answer for what to make, what to order, and who to schedule
• Newer managers can run a shift with the same accuracy as your most experienced ones

What changes in your numbers (within the first 60 days):

• Food waste drops — the average ClearCOGS customer sees a 50%+ reduction
• Food cost as a % of sales tightens, typically 1–3 percentage points
• Labor costs come down where you've been overstaffing, without sacrificing service

We also publish accuracy reporting per location through your ClearCOGS dashboard, so you can see exactly how the forecast compared to actual sales every day, every store. If a location is drifting from the forecast, we flag it and our team helps you understand why.

For a sense of typical results, see our case studies, including:

• A bagel show that cut $4,000 per month in overproduction labor
• Three BBQ brands that cut waste by 55% without changing a single system
• Palenque Group, who eliminated prep guesswork across 31 locations
