# Waste Reduction & Demand Forecasting
The average hotel restaurant wastes 5-15% of food purchased. At a property doing $3M in annual F&B revenue, that is $150K-$450K in waste. AI attacks this from both sides: better demand prediction (make less of what will not sell) and waste pattern analysis (understand why waste occurs).
Demand Forecasting for F&B
F&B demand in a hotel is uniquely predictable because you know tomorrow's occupancy today. AI combines this with other signals:
