PrepPulse

PrepPulse is a mobile + web app for food-truck operators that forecasts what to prep and when, using lightweight sales logging and local event signals. Operators quickly enter yesterday’s sales (or import from Square/Toast), current inventory, and any planned specials. The app blends historical sales, day-of-week patterns, nearby events, weather, and location dwell time to recommend prep quantities, par levels, and an optimal “stop selling” threshold to avoid end-of-day waste. It also generates a simple shopping list and a prep timeline for small crews. This is not a consumer discovery app; it’s an operator tool aimed at improving margins by reducing over-prep and stockouts. The reality: most trucks run on gut feel and messy notes; PrepPulse replaces that with a simple workflow that takes under 3 minutes per day.
