What tomorrow is likely to bring, and what to prep for it. Generated once a day, before service.
The tabs
Today's Prediction — what today should do.
Tomorrow — what tomorrow should do.
Week Insights — the week you are in.
Next Week — the week ahead.

The numbers
Net sales, guests, checks, avg check — each with a range underneath.
$27,249 with $23,162 — $31,336 beneath it means: probably twenty-seven, plausibly anywhere in that band.
Read the range, not the middle. The middle number is the one you remember and the one you should trust least. A band of $8,000 on a $27,000 day is the forecast telling you it is not certain, and it is being honest.
AI Confidence
High, medium, or low.
It comes from how well the forecast has done on this venue, on this weekday, recently. Consistent past accuracy means high. Scattered past accuracy means low.
Low confidence does not mean the number is wrong. It means this venue has been hard to predict. A room with steady Wednesdays gets high confidence; a room that swings on private bookings gets low, forever, and correctly.
Weather
The band at the top: temperature, conditions, and sometimes a tag.
Patio Day means the weather is good enough that outdoor seating should help. NexReps nudges the forecast up for it. Severe weather nudges it down.
AI Insights
Three short lines about what is driving the number.
The AI writes the sentences. It does not produce a single figure. Every number on this page is calculated by NexReps from your history — the AI reads them and says what it sees.
If an insight and a number disagree, the number is right.
Top 10 Menu Items
What should sell, and how much to prep.
Predicted qty — expected.
Avg qty — what it normally does.
Trend — Up, Down, or Stable, comparing the two.
This is the tab a kitchen actually uses. Thirty-two sparkling waters expected against an average of thirty-six is not a crisis; it is a Wednesday. But four drinks in the top ten on a patio day is a prep list.
How it is built
From your own history, and nothing else.
NexReps takes the last four same weekdays — four Wednesdays for a Wednesday, so a Saturday is never compared to a Tuesday. Days where the venue was closed are dropped. Outliers are dropped.
Then it weights recent days more heavily, applies a trend, corrects for how accurate it has been on this venue and weekday before, and adjusts for weather.
Nothing about your competitors. Nothing about the neighbourhood. Just what this room does.
What it cannot know
A private booking. A concert down the street. A supplier who did not deliver. A new dish everyone wants.
A forecast built on four Wednesdays cannot know that this Wednesday is different. If you know something it does not, you are right and it is wrong.
New venues
A venue with less than a few weeks of history cannot be forecast — there is nothing to learn from. The page will say so rather than invent a number.
