# ClearCOGS

> ClearCOGS provides AI demand forecasting for restaurants, a Decision Intelligence product that turns POS sales history into daily prep, ordering and labor plans. It is restaurant forecasting software for multi-unit operators: a read-only connection to the POS, an item-level forecast for every location that also accounts for weather, local events and seasonality, and a prep sheet, order guide and labor forecast delivered before the kitchen opens. It works alongside the POS, scheduling and inventory tools a team already runs.
