## Parallax

The demand forecast that sizes the order.

Parallax is the demand forecast in oppiOS. In the kitchen it sizes each order for what you are about to sell.

-   Next week, not last

    #### Ordered for what you are about to sell.

    A par says what should sit on the shelf. Parallax says what the days ahead will ask of the kitchen. Put together, they size each order before the supplier's cutoff, instead of repeating last week's.

-   One forecast

    #### The floor's forecast, read by the kitchen.

    Parallax is the demand forecast in oppiOS, the same system that runs your floor. oppiPantry reads it, so the kitchen's order and the venue's week are one picture, not two guesses.

-   Kitchen by kitchen

    #### Each site ordered for its own week.

    In a group, Parallax sizes each order for the days ahead at that kitchen. The busy site and the quiet one stop sharing an order sheet built for neither.

### How it works

1.  #### Read the days ahead

    Parallax knows what the coming days will ask of the venue.

2.  #### Size against the par

    Each order is sized for those days against your pars, ready before the cutoff.

3.  #### Send or wait

    Routine orders inside your limits are sent. Anything outside them waits for you.

### Questions.

Is the order a model's guess?

No. How much to order is plain arithmetic: the forecast for the days ahead against your pars. Routine orders inside your limits are sent, and anything outside waits for you.

Can I change an order Parallax sized?

Yes. You see every order and can step in whenever you want. Anything outside your limits waits for your yes before it goes.

Does it replace my pars?

No. The pars stay yours. Parallax sizes each order against them, so the par says what the shelf should hold and the forecast says what the days ahead will take from it.
