Shoutout to the cafe owner in Denver who uses AI to predict coffee demand
I was at a local spot called Brew Lab last week and noticed they never ran out of cold brew by noon, even during the rush. The owner told me they feed sales data and weather patterns into an AI model that forecasts how much to prep each day. He said it cut their waste by 40% in the first month. Has anyone else seen small businesses pull this off without tech teams?

Waste dropping 40% is the kind of result that pays for the software pretty fast. Makes sense for a cafe since weather and day of the week are huge for coffee demand. Good on them for trying something beyond just guessing.

Respectfully, I mean 40% waste sounds low for a cafe to begin with, no?
