After close, someone sits down with the sales and the shelf and works out what to order. In one shop, that someone is you - and a few sites make it you, a few times over. Synapse learns each shop’s weeks and fills the sheet instead - a file that opens in Excel, in your inbox before each order day.
The order, the prep, the hours - the three things you work out by hand now.
One per supplier, for each delivery it makes. Each line is a quantity you can send, already rounded to the case - and when something capped a line, the sheet says what stopped it. It opens in Excel. You check it, change what you disagree with, and send the order.
For what you make ahead - the morning bake, the prep block. How much to start in each window of the day, weighing the sales a batch protects against the waste it risks.
How many people the morning, the lunch and the close each need, read from the same picture of your week - so a quiet Tuesday is not staffed like a Saturday.
Run one, and this section is not for you. Run a few, and it is where the evenings go.
Each site is learned from its own history - its peaks, its opening hours, its quiet Tuesdays. The site by the station and the site by the school do not run the same week, so they do not share a fit. Their sheets disagree with each other, because they should.
And when one site will run short before its next delivery while another holds the same units, the sheet names the move - the lane, the day, the quantity - instead of over-ordering both ends. If ordering more would fix it, it says order more.
Nothing to install, and nothing changes about how you send an order. The sheet just arrives filled in.
A sales report from your till, and a list of what you stock. That is the whole first step.
Its weeks, its quiet days, its rush - from your own sales, not an industry average. The first sheet is checked against what you actually ordered.
Before each order day, in your inbox. Check it, change anything, send the order.
What to buy, and who works - two answers from the same engine, on one made-up restaurant, computed in your browser. Every figure is worked out here, from its data.
Hartwell’s is a made-up 60-seat restaurant. Sixteen weeks of its sales are read here, and the week’s order is worked out in your browser. Change how you buy; the order follows.

Five things, and the first is already in your till.
Send a sales export and a list of what you stock. We set Synapse up against your shop, and you check the first sheet against what you actually ordered. Run more than one? Start with one site, and add the rest when the sheet holds. No charge during the pilot.
