Why people use BentoPlan.
Prep, staffing and orders get decided the night before, and until now they were decided on a feeling. BentoPlan puts a number on the week ahead, built from your own history and the days the city is about to have.
Tomorrow, in numbers.
Covers and revenue for the week ahead, in a notification that lands before you write the prep list. The kitchen orders against a number instead of against last Tuesday.
The weather, priced in.
A sunny 22° Saturday and a wet one are two different businesses. We read your own history against the weather forecast, school and public holidays and BVG strikes, so the number moves for the reasons your takings actually move.
Connected in two minutes.
Connect your POS once and the numbers arrive on their own, every night. Nothing to type, nothing to send us, no setup fee and nobody coming out to install anything.
Connect the till.
That's the setup
Your POS already counts every receipt. Connect it once and those numbers come to us on their own, every night after close, along with the last two years it has been quietly storing. That is the whole job: two minutes, no setup fee, and nobody has to come out to you.
Next week's already in.
Plan it tonight
Every evening you get the week in front of you: covers and revenue for each day, with the weather over your opening hours, the school and public holidays and whatever the city has planned already counted in. You get a busy case and a quiet case too, so you can prep tight when waste hurts and cover yourself when running out would be worse.
Order what you'll sell.
Not what you sold
Most order lists are last week's list with a bit of guesswork on top. Yours starts from the days actually coming: how much for Thursday's delivery, how much for the weekend, dish by dish so the kitchen can count portions. It is ready before the rep rings, and you always have the last word.
Where it went,
where it's going
Last week, last month and last year sit next to the week ahead, on one screen, compared like for like: same weekday, same weather, same kind of day. And every morning you can see how close we got the day before, so you always know how far to lean on the number.

Once, at the start. Nothing to install and nobody comes out to you.
We used to order on a feeling and hope Saturday behaved. Now the week is on the wall by Sunday night, and nobody argues about the prep list any more.

Questions people ask before they start
What does it cost?+
€79 a month per venue, everything included: the forecast, the app, your whole team, no setup fee. Before that there is a free plan with the weather over your opening hours and what is on in your part of town, and it does not ask for a card.
Can I stop whenever I want?+
Yes. Month to month, cancel in the app, no notice period and nothing to sign. If you leave, your numbers leave with you.
How accurate is it, really?+
Up to 98% once it has had a few weeks with you, and it keeps improving as the year fills in. We also show you every day how close we got, because a number you cannot check is worth nothing.
Does anything change at the till?+
No. We only read what your POS already records, so nothing changes for the people on shift, there is no new device and nobody needs training.
Who can see my numbers?+
You and the people you invite, nobody else. Everything sits on German servers, we never sell your data, and we keep nothing at all about your guests, only how many of them there were. Delete your account and it is gone.
