Overtime cost
Too many staff on a quiet Wednesday eats the margin of a busy Saturday.
AI forecasting for hospitality
Know today how tomorrow goes.
Gastroforecast combines weather, cruise arrivals, local events and your history into a single daily recommendation – with concrete numbers for staffing and inventory, delivered straight to your WhatsApp.
From Málaga for the Costa del Sol – piloting with restaurants, chiringuitos and beach clubs from Estepona to Nerja.

The problem
Gut feel costs 5–8 % of revenue.
Seasonal volatility, shifting weather, event and cruise spikes – planning by what last year did is expensive.
!
Food waste
Fish, seafood and fresh tapas don't keep – every kilo dumped counts double.
!
Missed revenue
If the cruise docks at 9:30 and you don't know, 200 covers eat somewhere else.
How it works
Three steps to your daily recommendation.
No hardware, no POS required to start. Onboarding in under an hour.
Connect your venue
Tell us address, seating, concept and average weekly patterns. Optional: send historical daily revenue – otherwise we start with industry benchmarks.
AI gathers daily signals
Weather forecast, cruise arrivals at Puerto de Málaga, local events, weekday, season and your feedback – all feed the hourly scoring.
Daily recommendation
At 07:00 the message lands: expected demand, concrete staffing change and inventory correction in %. Just reply.
Data sources
Five signals that actually shape your day.
No black box. You see why today is +18 % – and you can disagree.
Weather & climate
Hourly forecast from Open-Meteo. Temperature, wind, precipitation, UV – calibrated to your beach club or indoor profile.
Cruise arrivals
Live data from Puerto de Málaga: ship, passengers, dwell time. Each call lifts the day's expectation by the right factor.
Events & holidays
Eventbrite, Málaga Turismo and local calendars. Bullfights, concerts, Champions League, school holidays – all in.
Weekday & season
Per-venue seasonal profiles, weekday effects, bridge holidays – from your historical data or our benchmarks.
Feedback loop
/feedback in WhatsApp lets you rate every forecast. The model learns your concept – with zero configuration.
Hourly scoring
Not just a daily score. You see hourly peaks for lunch, sundowner, dinner – and schedule shifts surgically.
Who it's for
Built for 100–300 covers.
Whether harbour-front restaurant, beach chiringuito, or a small multi-location group.
Restaurants
Labor and food cost are your biggest levers. A 4 % forecast improvement = €8,000–€20,000 per year.

Beach clubs & chiringuitos
Weather is king. A cloudy Sunday feels like a Tuesday, a 28° Wednesday like a weekend. We tune weather sensitivity individually.

Mediterranean edge
Built in Málaga, for the Costa del Sol.

As a chiringuito everything depends on the weather. The hourly score completely changed how we plan weekends.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Do I need a POS to start?
No. For the pilot, weekly patterns and average daily revenue are enough. POS integration (Lightspeed, Square, etc.) improves accuracy but isn't required.
What if I don't have historical data?
We start with industry benchmarks for your location, concept and size. After 4–6 weeks the model is calibrated to you.
What about GDPR and privacy?
We host in the EU (Frankfurt), process only aggregated daily data – no guest or staff data. Standard data processing agreement included.
How do I cancel?
Monthly term. Cancel at end of month via email. No setup fees, no hidden costs.
What languages does the daily message come in?
Spanish, German and English. Configurable per venue. Multi-location groups can pick a language per recipient.
How long does onboarding take?
Under an hour. We need address, seating, concept and – if available – an export of the last 6–12 months of daily revenue.
