The Afresh advantage

Transform the complexity of c-store fresh foodservice into coordinated, predictable performance with Afresh's award-winning AI — built for foodservice teams and the realities of made-to-order, prepared foods, and hot case operations.

Unify the fresh supply chain

One platform across commissary, DC, store ordering, and case-level inventory

Higher turns, stronger foodservice margins, better availability at peak dayparts

Reduce hot food and prepared foods shrink chainwide

Navigate messy data

Connect commissary production, DC buying, store ordering, and case-level inventory across every store in your network — all on one platform

C-store data is messy: split shifts, shrink hidden in waste sheets, store-level associate variability — Afresh is built for the imperfect inputs

Turn imperfect inputs into clear, profitable actions for foodservice teams

Optimize real world c-store decisions

Balance hot food vs grab-and-go vs case-stocked SKUs

Account for daypart shifts, weekly traffic, weather, and event-driven demand

Handle uncertainty with Intelligent Inventory across prepared foods

Empower fresh teams

Mobile-first daily guidance for c-store associates

Replaces the spreadsheet plus clipboard process you've outgrown

Faster onboarding for high-turnover foodservice teams

A fresh approach

Traditional tools can't keep up with c-store fresh foodservice complexity.
Afresh is purpose built for commissary kitchens, store-level production, daypart ordering, and hot case rotation — turning prepared-foods chaos into profitability and customer loyalty.

Industrialized food

Packaged grab-and-go data

Sealed roller-grill items, packaged sandwiches, and bottled drinks have consistent UPCs and predictable shelf lives

Made-to-order foodservice data

Daypart shifts, weather, traffic, and store-level associate execution make hot food and prepared foods data highly variable and hard to predict
Supermarket

Cooler & gondola merchandising

Cooler doors and gondola sets are mostly static with seasonal beverage promotions
fresh veggies

Hot case & prepared foods rotation 

Hot cases and prepared foods displays shift constantly to accommodate daypart traffic, perishability, and made-to-order quality
supermarket

Packaged inventory workflows

Consistent packaging and barcodes on packaged sandwiches, drinks, and snacks make case-stocked inventory straight-forward
raw meat

Foodservice associate workflows

C-store associates manage roller grills, made-to-order builds, hot cases, and commissary deliveries — all on a split shift, often without a dedicated foodservice manager

We're still looking for those individuals who approach produce as an art. But with Afresh, if a produce manager leaves, the knowledge that you'll have an increase in cherry orders during the summer doesn't leave with them.
