Many demand forecasting models only use internal data and simple rolling averages to predict demand for their stores, but volatility can shatter these forecasts easily. Whether volatility is caused from unforeseen events or major shifts in consumer behavior, restaurants miss opportunities to drive profitability and create efficient operations when forecast models don’t factor in external data.
Demand intelligence enables companies to ingest external intelligence into their models to improve restaurant forecasting efforts. Whether it’s TV viewership for NFL games, a nearby expo or severe weather data that impacts your store’s foot traffic, our enriched data is the single source of truth for external factors that drive demand volatility.

Historical transaction data and seasonality can guide forecasting direction, but forecasting models need external intelligence to ensure accuracy.
PredictHQ uncovers the demand causal factors impacting your business. Our data covers 18+ event categories so your models are factoring in a variety of external demand factors. TV viewership data – for example – allows QSRs to understand how live TV will impact food orders so teams can better anticipate demand spikes or lulls.
Anticipated demand directly impacts how store managers set up their staffing schedules. If you improve accuracy and reduce forecasting errors, you can better plan your workforce.
Train your forecasting models with demand intelligence and identify peak days for your establishment. Now you can guarantee the best customer service for your customers without having too many employees on the clock.
Monitoring ingredients and supplies for each shift allows you to reduce waste and improve profitability. But without insight into how external circumstances impact those inventory levels, your store could risk ingredient shortages or over-ordering.
