With Inpulse, restaurant chains optimise their margins thanks to AI.

Brice Konda and Valentin Pignolet, the heads of the start-up, met at Centrale Paris. During a lunch at Blend in 2018, they spoke with the founder of this iconic burger chain and realized the challenges faced by restaurant owners: significant losses, stock-outs, telephone orders, and an unclear view of profit margins. They decided to bridge the gap between data science, which they had mastered, and the restaurant industry. After months of interviews with restaurant owners, they designed a solution to automate the entire supply process for restaurants.

The first artificial intelligence platform that helps restaurant chains optimise their material costs has been launched. Inpulse is based on 3 pillars:

  • Supplier order automation: Inpulse has developed a proprietary AI technology that predicts future sales and automatically generates supplier orders to have just the right amount in stock. By taking into account various factors that impact the business such as weather, holidays, sporting events or public holidays, Inpulse enables restaurateurs to order what they need at the right time.
  • Simplification of stock management operations: such as automated orders, automatic detection of stock shortages, digitalized inventories, or automated management of credit notes and invoices.
  • Real-time access to profitability ratios: For the first time, operators and line managers have real-time access to material costs, actual gross margins and consumption variances for in-depth analysis by plant. No longer do they have to wait until the end of the month to spot raw material price increases or unusual losses, they can react quickly and make better decisions thanks to AI.
