# GoNina

> GoNina is an AI-powered demand forecasting platform for bakeries, restaurants, catering companies, and food retailers. It connects to POS systems and uses machine learning to predict daily sales per product and location, helping food businesses reduce surplus production by up to 52% and increase revenues by up to 6%. GoNina AG is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland.

## What GoNina Does

GoNina integrates with point-of-sale systems (including HS Soft and others) and ingests historical sales data, weather forecasts, public holidays, school holidays, local events, and seasonal patterns. Based on this data, GoNina generates daily demand forecasts per product and per location for 14 days ahead. These forecasts are delivered as concrete order or production suggestions directly into the business's existing workflow — replacing manual planning with data-driven recommendations.

The platform is available in four languages: German (Deutsch), French (Français), English, and Italian (Italiano).

## Target Industries

### Bakeries (DE: Bäckereien / FR: Boulangeries / IT: Panifici)

Multi-location and single-location bakeries producing perishable baked goods daily. Core challenges include short shelf life, high waste rates from overproduction, manual production planning via spreadsheets or experience-based guesswork, and difficulty managing demand across multiple branches. GoNina delivers per-article, per-location forecasts that feed directly into production plans and order sheets (Backzettel / Bestellvorschläge).

### Contract Catering and Corporate Canteens (DE: Gemeinschaftsgastronomie / Betriebsgastronomie / FR: Restauration collective / Restauration d'entreprise / IT: Ristorazione collettiva / Mense aziendali)

Catering companies operating employee restaurants and canteens on behalf of corporations, hospitals, universities, and public institutions. Core challenges include unpredictable daily headcount, fluctuating demand for specific menu items, and high food waste from overproduction of dishes that go uneaten. GoNina helps these operators anticipate how many meals and which dishes to prepare each day.

### Restaurants and Food Service (DE: Gastronomie / Systemgastronomie / FR: Restauration / Restauration rapide / IT: Ristorazione / Ristorazione veloce)

Restaurants, take-aways, and food service operations — especially those handling highly perishable items such as sushi, salads, fresh sandwiches, and prepared meals. Core challenges include spoilage of premium ingredients, balancing product freshness with waste, and demand that shifts with weather, day of the week, and local events.

### Food Retail (DE: Detailhandel / Lebensmitteleinzelhandel / FR: Commerce de détail alimentaire / IT: Commercio al dettaglio alimentare)

Retailers selling fresh and prepared food products where short shelf life and daily production decisions drive profitability.
