1. Initial Forecasting
It is prepared a week in advance and it shows;
- The estimated total of each menu item for each day of the following week’s menu.
- The estimated number of meals to be taken.
Initial forecasting is based on:
- Past records or sales history

booking, seat booking, room etc.

surrounding eg exhibition, conferences, shows, games, etc.
