Our Barbecue Customers

ClearCOGS knows that running a barbecue business comes with a unique set of challenges. With high food costs and long prep times, waste can become expensive quickly. Our solution gets ahead of both waste and lost revenue by providing accurate insights into what demand of each item will be the next day. We then translate these insights into the answers you need to run your operations more smoothly. But don’t just take it from us…

ClearCOGS will email you a daily prep sheet every day with accurate numbers on it about how much to make. They analyze every possible data point you could ever think of… basically all the things a human could never do.

ClearCOGS is taking technology and turning it into a hospitality platform, which is incredible!
Charlie EblenOwner of Single Tree BBQ

I’ve been testing ClearCOGS against what I normally do. I would see some of those numbers and think, man that’s really low, but they would be dead on! I would have wasted 3 racks of ribs.
Dan MisuracaOwner and Operator at Red White & Que Smokehouse

Onboarding and setup were extremely easy, and we had no problem integrating the product in with the team. It’s a pretty standard process, and everything is flowing smoothly even across all the different locations.
