The Problem

Food waste is one of the largest controllable costs in F&B — typically 4-10% of revenue. Most of it comes from poor demand planning: over-prepping based on gut feelings or last week's numbers.

AI Changes the Equation

1Pulse's demand forecasting models analyze historical orders, weather patterns, local events, and seasonal trends to predict exactly how much you'll sell — by item, by hour, by location.

Real Results

Our customers see an average 18% reduction in food waste within the first 90 days. At 200+ locations, that translates to millions in savings — and a meaningful impact on sustainability goals.
