Nory
Forecast driven scheduling, inventory and purchasing for multi site hospitality groups
As of 31 August 2026, Nory's pricing is not published; the vendor quotes on request. A restaurant operating platform that starts from a sales forecast and drives rotas, ordering and stock from it, rather than treating them as separate tools. Softwr lists it under Restaurants. Nory is available on Web, iOS, Android.
Overview
What Nory does
Nory combines demand forecasting, labour scheduling, inventory and purchasing, and profit and loss reporting for restaurant and bar groups. It pulls sales history from the point of sale, forecasts demand by site and by hour, then generates rotas sized to that forecast and purchase orders sized to the resulting production. The distinguishing idea is that labour and stock decisions are outputs of one forecast rather than three separate systems that never agree. In practice this means a manager sees the labour cost percentage implied by a rota before publishing it, and orders against forecast covers rather than against last week. That matters because labour and food are the two largest controllable costs in a restaurant and they are usually managed by different people using different numbers. Buyers are multi site groups in the United Kingdom and Ireland, typically between five and fifty sites, that have outgrown spreadsheets and a standalone scheduling app. The trade off is that this is a young vendor replacing several incumbent tools at once, so the switch is close to all or nothing, and the forecasting that justifies the purchase requires months of history the platform can trust.
What people use it for
- A group of ten to thirty sites where rotas are built on gut feel and labour percentage is discovered after the fact
- An operator who wants purchase orders sized against forecast covers rather than last week actuals
- A finance team that needs site level profit and loss without waiting for month end accounts
- A hospitality group replacing a scheduling app, a stock spreadsheet and a reporting deck with one system

The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Nory.
- The forecasting that justifies the product needs several months of clean point of sale history, so new openings and recently reopened sites get little value at first.
- It replaces scheduling, stock and reporting together, which makes adoption an all or nothing project rather than a tool a single manager can trial.
- Employment rules and rota compliance are built for the United Kingdom and Ireland, so groups with United States or continental European sites will find gaps.
- The vendor is young and its integration list is short, so an operator on a less common point of sale or payroll provider may be waiting on a build.
- Pricing is per site, which means small satellite units and kiosks cost the same as flagship venues despite far simpler operations.

Questions people ask
Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
How much sales history does it need to forecast well?
Several months at minimum. With less than that the forecast is not reliable enough to size rotas or orders against.
Does it do payroll?
No. It produces the rota, hours and labour cost, and exports to payroll rather than running it.
Is it usable outside the United Kingdom and Ireland?
It can be, but the employment rules, compliance logic and integration coverage are built around those markets.
Does it replace my point of sale?
No. It reads sales from the point of sale and sits above it as the operations and reporting layer.
