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.

Praedixa is a web-based forecasting and decision product for restaurants, franchises, and multi-site operators. It forecasts sales through D+14 and provides operational alerts in a 3-to-7-day window, using historical data, weather, events, seasonality, calendars, and other signals. Decision Studio shows signals and expected impacts, recommends contextual actions, and lets teams validate, assign, and track outcomes. Network features include restaurant-level forecasts, site benchmarking, grouped alerts, and a network decision log. Connections can draw from POS, ERP, scheduling, stock, weather, events, promotions, delivery, and food-cost systems. Praedixa says integration starts with controlled, read-only access, without replacing existing POS, ERP, or scheduling tools. Pilots measure waste, shortages, food cost, payroll, and margin. Customer operational data is hosted by Scaleway in Paris. Pricing starts at €99/mo.
