Forecasting
Can Axial Shift forecast guest counts?
Short answer
Yes. Axial can forecast guest counts as well as sales, so you can plan labor around the measure your team actually uses.
- Each store gets its own forecast model, built from your history and holidays, with weather as an optional store-by-store setting.
- The forecast updates every day and looks 28 days ahead.
- Managers can adjust it, and permissions control who can.
