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.
