No more empty display cases at 9 am or binned croissants at noon.
FoodTracks predicts your footfall hour by hour, tells you how many croissants, cookies and lattes to prepare each morning, and tracks your margin in real time.
The real headaches of running an independent coffee shop
Unsold pastries piling up at noon
Croissants, cookies, babka — without a morning footfall forecast, you over-order and end up discarding 10–20 % of your pastries every day.
Specialty drink stockouts mid-service
Oat milk, vanilla syrup, matcha powder — running out of a signature ingredient loses sales and dents the image your café has worked hard to build.
Morning rush hard to staff and calibrate
Between 8 and 9:30 am everything ramps up. Without predictive footfall data, you over-staff some days and under-staff others, eating into your payroll budget.
Four pillars to run a sharper café
Hourly footfall forecast
The AI predicts traffic hour by hour using weather, day of the week, school holidays and your transaction history.
Pastry & drink ingredient stock
Track croissant levels (fresh or frozen), coffee beans, alternative milks and syrups in real time. Order at the right time — never in a panic.
Sales by drink and time of day
See which lattes, cappuccinos, teas and cold drinks perform best by time slot and day, then tune your menu accordingly.
Per-item profitability
Compare the margin on your house flat white, artisan cookies and signature drinks to know exactly what to push on the blackboard.
What coffee shops gain with FoodTracks

Drink margin improved
Identifying high-margin drinks that were under-represented in the display raised drink margin by €210 per month — with no price changes.
Admin time saved
Pastry and drink supplier orders generated automatically every Sunday evening save four hours of admin every week.
FAQ — Coffee shop & café
Does FoodTracks work for cafés that also serve brunch or lunch?⌄
Yes. Create separate ranges (drinks, pastries, savoury snacks, lunch plates) and track stock and sales for each in the same dashboard.
How do I import sales if I use an iPad till or SumUp?⌄
FoodTracks integrates directly with SumUp. For other tills, a CSV export is all you need — sales sync in a few clicks with no manual re-entry.
Does the footfall forecast work from day one?⌄
First forecasts are available after two weeks of data. The more you use FoodTracks, the sharper it gets — learning your crowd patterns (office crowd Monday, families at the weekend, etc.).
