Saw a bakery in Portland using AI to predict daily bread demand

Stopped into a small bakery on Alberta Street last Tuesday and noticed they had a tablet running some kind of dashboard. Turned out they feed their past sales data into a simple AI tool that tells them how many loaves to bake each morning. Said they cut waste by like 40% since starting it. Has anyone else seen small shops using AI for stuff like inventory or scheduling?

Bet they still run out of croissants by 10am though.

Wait, they actually run out that early? That's wild for a new place.
