5-Out vs OPPI

5-Out is a web-based restaurant forecasting and automation platform founded in 2013. It uses machine learning to forecast sales from historical sales and guest patterns, day-part trends, menu mix, weather, local events, and operational data. Forecasts are available hourly, daily, and weekly. The platform turns forecasts into automated prep lists, predictive Smart Pars, purchasing recommendations, inventory and recipe management, labor forecasting, and food-cost visibility. Restaurant operations tools include labor schedules and budgets, food budgets, purchase and prep lists, Smart Actions, forecasts, and custom reporting. Managers can adjust prep amounts, labor guidance, and purchasing recommendations for local events or promotions. 5-Out lists integrations including PAR Brink, Harri, MarketMan, Aloha, Square, Toast, 7shifts, SevenRooms, Craftable, MarginEdge, Micros, Restaurant365, Simphony, Tripleseat, and xtraCHEF. It supports restaurants from one location to 500 and connects to restaurant tools without manual setup or data entry. Pricing is on request, with a listed plan at $100 a month per location.

OPPI is an AI decision intelligence and operations platform for hospitality venues. It models venue trading history alongside weather, local events, road traffic and calendars, then recalculates demand every 15 minutes. Its operational tools cover labour planning, inventory and reordering, task management, compliance, and venue procedures and checklists. OPPI proposes actions for approval; the maker says connected systems do not change without user approval. Connected integrations include Square, Lightspeed Restaurant K-Series, Deputy, Tanda timesheets, Google Drive, Notion and OPPI Tether. Toast, Clover and TouchBistro are still in build; accounting integrations are designed but not shipped, and Tanda roster and staff sync are also in build. The service is still in beta, with a waitlist and design partner applications. Onboarding is self-serve, with setup help available on request. The maker describes encryption at rest and in transit, and logically isolated venue data. The primary database is hosted in Singapore, while application hosting and AI processing may use additional regions. Early access has no payment or contract; public release is pending.
