What Makes Smart Pars So Powerful?
Smart Pars combines advanced predictive analytics with real-world restaurant expertise to provide actionable tools that make your kitchen more efficient and profitable. Here’s how:
1. Ingredient-Level Purchasing Recommendations
Say goodbye to overordering or running out of essentials during service. Smart Pars analyzes your sales data and predicts exactly what ingredients you’ll need, down to the ounce. By knowing what to buy—and what to skip—you can:
- Reduce waste from unused perishables.
- Prevent costly last-minute supply runs.
- Keep your inventory lean and purposeful.
2. Daily Prep Guides Based on Predicted Sales and the Real-Life Constraints of your Operation
With Smart Pars, prepping for service is no longer a guessing game. The platform generates tailored prep guides based on predicted sales for the day, within the bounds of what is reasonable for your kitchen. For example, if you’re prepping cookies, you can customize 5-Out to round up to the nearest batch.
These guides help your kitchen staff:
- Focus on what truly needs attention.
- Minimize prep time and avoid over-prepping.

- Save on labor costs by streamlining tasks and preventing unnecessary work.
- Increase profitability by running a lean, efficient operation.
