The Problem
Running out of ingredients during a Friday night rush is a disaster. Over-ordering means throwing money in the trash. Most restaurants do both in the same week.
Without Tacoter
- Run out of carnitas mid-Friday rush
- Toss unused pork shoulder every Monday
- Guess prep amounts from memory
- Miss demand spikes from local holidays
With Tacoter
- Prep enough carnitas for the whole rush
- Order only what this week actually needs
- Get a daily prep list built from real data
- See holiday and event spikes ahead of time
