Do you also face the problem of bake-off stations and food-to-go shelves being empty at lunchtime or too much waste in the evenings?
In ultra-fresh assortments such as bake-off or food-to-go, intuition and gut feeling alone is not enough to determine what and how much to produce. Short shelf lives and unpredictable demand often lead to empty shelves or overproduction, which directly affect sales, increase waste, and create inefficiencies in staff planning.
Regular planning errors
Without intra-day control, bake-off stations and ultra-fresh shelves are frequently over- or understocked. The result is midday sell-outs or end-of-day waste — both of which directly impact revenue and profitability.
Inefficient processes
Ovens in bake-off are frequently underutilized, and baking programs are not coordinated efficiently. As a result, production cycles take longer than necessary and staff time is tied up, reducing overall productivity.
Complex daily process
In day-to-day operations, it is often unclear how long each production step takes, which items can be produced together, and when to start to meet lunch or after-work peaks. This complexity leads to errors, stress, and inconsistent store processes.

That's where
AIPERIA comes in
AIPERIA creates profit-optimised production plans based on historic and current sales data as well as 150+ additional data points influencing local demand like weather, holidays, competitive landscape, and many more to give you an advanced intraday demand forecast for each of your stores. Thereby we also take into consideration factors like oven and tray capacity, production steps and product dependencies.
Intraday
Demand forecasts
AIPERIA continuously calculates demand throughout the day - per item, store and time slot - and updates forecasts as soon as sales change.
Your advantage: Intelligent planning. No more guessing. You produce only what will actually sell.
Smart baking programs &
oven utilisation
AIPERIA plans baking cycles so that oven programs are combined efficiently and capacity is fully utilised.
Your advantage: shorter production cycles and lower process costs while maintaining maximum freshness.
Concrete production instructions
The forecast provides specific recommendations: which product to produce, when, and in what quantity.
Your advantage: fewer queries, less gut feeling, less stress and the shelves are filled at the right time.
Intelligent store assistant for easy execution
The store receives clear, intuitive instructions on what to do next - prioritised by time of day and demand.
Your advantage: Employees are relieved of workload and can work more reliably — even with changing staff or shift rotations.
Why AIPERIA can do more
Many solutions end with order proposals or static daily schedules. AIPERIA optimises your ultra-fresh assortments with intra-day production recommendations.
