Wateen Cuts Food Waste by 35% and Turns Dashboards into Real-Time Profit Drivers

About Wateen

Wateen is a cloud platform that gives restaurant groups full visibility into sales, inventory, and procurement across hundreds of outlets. They wanted restaurant operators managing multiple outlets to see what’s working—and fix what isn’t—before it hits the bottom line.

The Challenge

Rapid expansion in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, left Wateen’s customers, i.e., restaurants like Burj Al Hamam were left drowning in spreadsheets. Restaurant owners and managers kept on scrambling to reorder when stock ran out, spotting a sales decline caused ingredients to go stale—all in all, restaurants were bleeding cash on waste and over-staffing during sales slumps. Restaurant owners kept asking: “Is there a way to predict demand, cut down on wastage, and know which menu items make money—without hiring a data team?”

What did
Beyond Coders do

We began by Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) and cleaning three years of sales, inventory,  procurement, and wastage data, building a single, trusted data pipeline.

From there, we developed machine-learning models for demand forecasting, inventory optimization, menu engineering, and waste detection—achieving 92% predictive accuracy throughout all reports. 

Next, we overlaid an AI Insights Engine using Large Language Models from Llamma, that transformed raw outputs into plain-language recommendations (e.g., “Stock 30 % more Fattoush next week”), giving each branch context-aware actions. 

We containerised the models, exposed real-time API endpoints, and added auto-retraining hooks, enabling Wateen’s front-end team to go live within hours.
