Dineraffic predicts covers for your restaurant down to the hour — reading the weather, what's on nearby, and a year of your own service history — so you set the floor, write the prep list, and fill the slow nights on numbers, not gut feel.
Works with your POS · connect in 4 minutes · 14-day trialEvening rain Friday — expect −18% walk-ins 6–9pm. Suggested move: a rainy-night promo.
Run a 4–6pm happy hour Thu–Fri to fill the pre-dinner lull. Projected +62 covers.
A covers prediction for every lunch and dinner service, seven days out, with a confidence band so you know how much to trust it. Built from your restaurant's own rhythm, not an industry template.
Rain that kills the terrace, a heatwave that fills it, a match down the road, the festival in the square — the model weighs everything outside your four walls and flags it before it hits the door.
See how your dining experience ranks against the restaurants around you, then act on plain-language calls — a happy hour for the pre-dinner lull, another server for Saturday, a promo for a Hump Wednesday.
Two quiet Tuesdays and one slammed Saturday average out to a floor plan that's wrong every single day. Dineraffic gives you the shape of the week, service by service, so every shift is sized to the night it's actually working.
Link your POS or reservation book in a few clicks. Dineraffic reads the last 12 months of covers to learn the rhythm of your room. No spreadsheets, no hardware on the pass.
It layers local weather, the events calendar, and seasonality over your service history — then back-tests itself against your real numbers until the forecast holds up.
Open the dashboard each morning to a clear call on the day ahead, the reasons behind it, and the one or two moves worth making. The rota and the prep list follow.
“We used to staff Fridays on a feeling. Now I know by Wednesday whether it's a four-server night or a six — and the rain that would have caught us out shows up days early.”

No. Dineraffic connects read-only to Square, Toast, Lightspeed, SevenRooms and twenty more. It takes about four minutes and touches nothing in your till.
86% median next-day accuracy across live restaurants. Every number ships with a confidence band, and the model back-tests itself against your own covers before it goes live.
The model starts from anonymized patterns of restaurants like yours nearby — same size, same kind of room — then re-weights toward your own data as covers come in. Useful from about eight weeks of history.
Hour-by-hour weather, local events and fixtures, holidays, seasonality, bookings pace, and your last twelve months of covers — forty-plus signals per restaurant.
Dineraffic is built restaurant-first: covers, services, prep. If you run a room with a kitchen, it will fit today. Bars, cafés and the wider hospitality floor are on the roadmap — leave your email and we’ll tell you when your door count is ready.
