OPPI

OPPI is an AI decision and operations platform for hospitality venues that connects demand forecasting with labour, inventory, compliance and service workflows. It suits operators managing changing trading conditions across one or more locations, particularly those comfortable with a beta product. Its strongest case is the combination of frequent forecasts and approval-controlled actions; its weakest is the unfinished integration layer.

Overview

OPPI builds forecasts from a venue’s trading history alongside weather, local events, road traffic and calendar data, recalculating demand every 15 minutes. It covers sales, covers or orders, inventory and staffing, with real-time data inputs and multi-location support. That makes it more useful for operational planning than a forecasting tool that stops at a dashboard.

The wider platform includes labour planning, inventory and reordering, task management, compliance, and venue SOPs and checklists. OPPI proposes actions for approval and says connected systems are not changed without that approval. This is a sensible control for staffing, purchasing and compliance decisions, although managers remain part of the execution loop rather than delegating changes entirely.

Key features

Frequent, context-aware forecasting

Recalculating every 15 minutes is aimed at venues where weather, traffic or local events can alter demand during the trading day. Sales, covers or orders, inventory and staffing forecasts give operators a common planning base. Real-time inputs and multi-location support make the approach relevant to groups as well as single venues; the maker says one venue is enough to get started.

Operational workflows

Labour planning, reordering, tasks, compliance, SOPs and checklists extend the forecast into daily work. The value is greatest for operators who want planning and execution in one operating model. A venue seeking only a standalone demand forecast may find this broader scope unnecessary.

Approval and integrations

Approval-first changes reduce the risk of an unwanted update propagating through connected systems. Current integrations include Square, Lightspeed Restaurant K-Series, Deputy, Tanda timesheets, Google Drive, Notion and OPPI Tether. Toast, Clover and TouchBistro are in build, while accounting integrations are designed but not shipped and Tanda roster and staff synchronisation remain in build. Those gaps matter to venues expecting a complete payroll, roster or accounting workflow.

Security and data handling

Data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.3, with venue data logically isolated. Primary database infrastructure is hosted in Singapore on AWS ap-southeast-1; application hosting and AI processing may use additional regions. AI tasks may be routed to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and Perplexity under data-processing agreements, and the maker says venue data is not used to train those providers’ models. Requested deletion, including backups, is stated to complete within 30 days. GDPR and APP compliance are listed, while ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II are planned.

Pricing

Early access

free. There is no payment or contract, and public release is pending. This suits venues that want to join the beta without a financial commitment and can tolerate product change. It is not a conventional free tier with a defined long-term allowance: availability is tied to early access, a waitlist and design-partner applications, so venues needing predictable commercial terms should wait or seek another system.

Onboarding is self-serve, with setup help available on request. No paid plans or seat, usage, renewal or trial terms are published.

Platforms

OPPI is available through the web and an API. That combination fits operators who need browser-based management and organisations planning to connect workflows programmatically. Its regional hosting model should be reviewed by venues with strict data-location requirements.

Who it's for

OPPI is aimed at hospitality venues that need forecasts for sales, covers or orders, inventory and staffing, then want to carry those decisions into labour, purchasing, tasks and compliance. Multi-location support makes it a candidate for growing groups, while the one-venue starting point keeps the scope accessible to independent operators. It is less suitable for teams that require a released product, completed accounting connectivity or finished Tanda roster and staff sync immediately.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Forecasts refresh every 15 minutes: useful when local conditions can shift demand during service.
• Broad operational coverage: labour, inventory, tasks, compliance and SOPs connect forecasts to practical work.
• Approval controls: connected systems do not change without user approval.
• Free early access: venues can participate without payment or a contract.
• Clear security measures: encryption, logical isolation and stated deletion handling support governance reviews.

Cons

• Still in beta: waitlist and design-partner access are unsuitable for buyers seeking a settled release.
• Incomplete integrations: accounting connectivity and Tanda roster and staff sync are not finished; several POS integrations are still in build.
• Approval remains necessary: the safeguards also prevent fully hands-off automation.
• Regional processing may vary: application hosting and AI processing can use regions beyond the Singapore database.

Verdict

Choose OPPI for a hospitality venue that wants frequent, context-aware forecasts tied to labour, inventory and compliance workflows, with human approval before connected changes. Look elsewhere if beta access, variable AI-processing regions or unfinished accounting and roster integrations would disrupt a production rollout.
