For culinary teams, production planning and forecasting has long been a source of frustration. New StreamLine features lighten that load, padding kitchen margins while saving time.

Chefs and production managers shouldn't have to dig through Excel or review pages of StreamLine smart scale data to determine how to improve next cycle's menu. With our newest releases, they don't anymore: StreamLine's AI brings optimizations front and center.

What's New: Digestible Summaries + Prep Suggestions

Phase 1: Production Insights

A few weeks ago, new AI-powered production overviews landed in the StreamLine dashboard. These data summaries provide a quick snapshot of recent activity, trends, and operational risks, at both the kitchen and menu-item level.

The daily summary provides insights about a given day's menu, whereas menu item insights are focused on waste-reduction progress for a specific menu item, over time.

With menu insights came a new chat interface, providing instant answers  to kitchen leaders' questions about their data—no number-crunching required.

Phase 2: Production Opportuntities.

In the StreamLine dashboard, new “production opportunities”—prep guidance for high-cost, high-waste dishes—turn recorded data into a plan of attack, automatically.

Service data is only as valuable as how it's used: more responsive prep, informed ordering, and stronger overall menus. These releases focuses operators' energy on using their data, not trying to decipher it.

Why This Matters

By showing chefs, production managers, and GMs where to take action, StreamLine functions like a "decision engine" for the kitchen.

Coupled with your culinary expertise (like upping fry prep on game days), these suggestions give you greater control over your cost-per-meal and more time for what you do best—leading your team.
