Overtime cost
Too many staff on a quiet Wednesday eats the margin of a busy Saturday.
AI forecasting for hospitality · Costa del Sol
Know today how tomorrow goes.
HoReCaWave combines weather, cruise arrivals, local events and your history into a single daily WhatsApp message – with concrete numbers for staffing and inventory. Backed by a 14-day dashboard for weekly planning.
What is HoReCaWave?
HoReCaWave is an AI forecasting software for restaurants, chiringuitos and beach clubs on the Costa del Sol. We combine weather, Puerto de Málaga cruise calls and local events into daily staffing and inventory recommendations – via WhatsApp, email or dashboard.
From Málaga for the Costa del Sol – pilot launching in 2026 with restaurants, chiringuitos and beach clubs in Málaga, Marbella, Torremolinos, Fuengirola and Benalmádena.
The problem
Gut feel costs 5–8 % of revenue.
Seasonal volatility, shifting weather, event and cruise spikes – planning by what last year did is expensive.
!
Food waste
Fish, seafood and fresh tapas don't keep – every kilo dumped counts double.
!
Missed revenue
If the cruise docks at 9:30 and you don't know, 200 covers eat somewhere else.
How it works
Three steps to your daily recommendation.
No hardware, no POS required to start. Onboarding in under an hour.
Connect your venue

AI gathers daily signals
Weather forecast, cruise arrivals at Puerto de Málaga, local events, weekday, season and your feedback – all feed the hourly scoring.
Daily recommendation
At 07:00 the message lands: expected demand, concrete staffing change and inventory correction in %. Just reply.
Data sources
Five signals that actually shape your day.
No black box. You see why today is +18 % – and you can disagree.
Weather & climate
Hourly weather forecast: temperature, wind, precipitation, UV – calibrated to your beach club or indoor profile.
Cruise arrivals
Cruise calls at Puerto de Málaga: ship, passengers, dwell time. Each call lifts the day's expectation by the right factor.
Events & holidays

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Do I need a POS to start?
No. To get started, weekly patterns and average daily revenue are enough. POS integration (Lightspeed, Square, TPV-FIWI) is part of the Pro plan and further improves accuracy.
What if I don't have historical data?
We start with industry benchmarks for your location, concept and size. After 4–6 weeks the model is calibrated to you.
What about GDPR and privacy?
We host in the EU (Frankfurt), process only aggregated daily data – no guest or staff data. Standard data processing agreement included.
How do I cancel?
Annual term, billed monthly. A 60-day no-fault exit applies during the first 60 days. After that, cancel at the end of the term. No setup fees, no hidden costs.
What languages does the daily message come in?
Spanish, German and English. Configurable per venue. Multi-location groups can pick a language per recipient.
How long does onboarding take?
Under an hour. We need address, seating, concept and – if available – an export of the last 6–12 months of daily revenue.
