The most important benefits on a glimpse
Between 85-90% + accuracy, 4 weeks ahead
Nesto predicts guest numbers, revenue, and staffing requirements with over 90% accuracy — based on historical data, external factors and more than 20 million forecast days.
Hourly forecasts per station
Not just “Friday will be full,” but “Friday 6-8 pm you need 4 at the bar, 6 in the kitchen.” Hourly granularity and division by station enable precise shift planning without over or understaffing.
Automatic consideration of external factors
Weather, holidays, vacation periods, industry trends — the AI automatically takes into account all relevant factors that influence your business. You don't have to enter anything manually, the forecasts adjust dynamically.
Data-based decisions instead of guesswork
With precise forecasts, you plan work schedules based on data. This reduces overstaffing and understaffing and measurably improves your margin.
