Analyzes revenue, margin, and order volume across all delivery platforms (UberEats, DoorDash, Grubhub) for each brand in a ghost kitchen to recommend which brand-platform-hour combinations to activate or deactivate in order to maximize net margin.
Kill Reason

killed: Photo-to-quote capability for custom cake orders is easily replicated by any competitor with access to multimodal AI APIs, and the market of artisan bakeries willing to pay for standalone software is too fragmented and price-sensitive to build a defensible business before point-of-sale platforms add similar functionality as a bundled feature.
killed: Toast, Square, and Clover already own the POS relationship with food truck operators and are better positioned to ship prep quantity forecasting as a native feature. The product generates no proprietary data asset across customers and has no switching costs that a POS-native feature cannot immediately undercut.
killed: Dietary constraint checking is technically trivial for any modern LLM, and every catering event management platform (HoneyBook, CaterZen, Better Cater) can ship this as a feature. There is no proprietary ingredient database, no switching costs, and no data moat — this is a prompt, not a product.
