Event beverage forecasting

Forecast the pour before the first drink is served.

PourCaster is built around the actual event workflow: forecast the buy, monitor inventory during the event, then turn actual consumption into a better baseline for next time.

1

Plan the order

Use last-year attendance, ticket velocity, consumed volume, weather, sales hours, and AI intensity prediction to build a defensible buy recommendation.

2

Track live burn

During the event, count what remains and what back-stock was released. PourCaster calculates consumption, runout risk, and whether to hold or release stock.

3

Learn from actuals

After the event, compare forecast vs actual and generate a cleaner next-year baseline instead of starting over with gut feel.

During the event, count what’s left. PourCaster calculates what was used.

Staff do not need to estimate consumed volume in the middle of a busy event. They enter remaining inventory and back-stock releases; PourCaster turns that into burn pace, projected runout, and projected leftover.

✓

Inventory-based tracking

Beer gallons, 9L cases, loose bottles, released back-stock, and remaining counts become calculated consumption.

⚠

Runout risk alerts

Green/yellow/red status shows what is on pace, what is running hot, and what needs back-stock attention.

↻

Next-year baseline

Actuals feed a variance report and recommended future baseline instead of relying on memory.
