Every point of sale records what you sold. None record what people wanted. Ostrix measures the difference and tells you what to make tomorrow.
The problem
Everything above the shelf goes unwritten. Forecast from that record and you learn a number that is too low. Produce what the forecast says, and tomorrow's record comes out lower still.
We ran this on five years of retail demand data. A forecaster trained on its own sales drifts here inside six months:
47% below true demand
What Ostrix does
Connects to Square, Toast or Clover and pulls your whole transaction history on the first morning. Nothing to type in.
Tracks sell-through through the day, so it knows when a tray emptied rather than only that it did. That timing is what reconstructs the demand you missed.
Each morning, a text: what to make, how much, and the reason. Rain after eleven, a game at the arena, last Tuesday ran out by one.
