5-Out

5-Out offers forecasting and operations tools for restaurant teams. Its official site describes sales forecasts that help managers decide what to purchase, how much to prepare, and how to schedule labor for expected demand. Purchase and prep lists are intended to reduce errors and waste by giving staff a more specific plan for the work ahead. Managers can review demand forecasts when adjusting shifts, while employees can use the lists to make sure ingredients and supplies are ready for service. The product also tracks sales and labor data as operations unfold and presents actions based on those changes. The site positions the same information for different roles in a restaurant: staff preparing service, managers controlling waste and scheduling, and stakeholders comparing operating performance across locations. A restaurant evaluating it can look at how the forecasts would fit its current purchasing routine, preparation process, and staffing decisions. The homepage links to a demo request for teams that want to see those workflows. The company's about page says the product grew from financial and operating models developed by restaurant operators, and the current service uses machine learning and AI to support those decisions.
