From losing a bet to revolutionizing the HORECA sector
Controliza originated from a bet made by its founders who, tired of seeing the amount of food wasted by a restaurant they frequently visited and the cost this incurred, decided to wager with its owner that they could predict how many people would come to the restaurant over a given period and thus help him buy better. The bet seemed straightforward: if we have historical sales data and use predictive tools already available in the market, we will win. However, they lost the bet. Why? Neither the historical data was reliable, complete, or usable, nor did the standard predictive tools fit the problem. However, the problem was there and worth solving, so they formed a team of enthusiasts and experts, fully motivated to help hospitality businesses become more sustainable and profitable. That's how Controliza was born.
After several years of working closely with our clients, we can say that we are one of the most comprehensive platforms for optimizing HORECA businesses both nationally and internationally. Our tools evolve and improve every day to adapt to the changing environment and stay at the forefront.
Do we have any updates?
Of course! One really important update. Since that initial bet, we realized that in the HORECA sector, there was an unresolved problem, and until now, an impossible-to-control issue, causing huge financial losses for businesses and the largest generation of food waste on the planet related to a single sector.
What are we talking about?
The difficulty of predicting what will be sold in HORECA businesses and the number of decisions related to that forecast. Currently, restaurateurs, at best, rely on experience to know how many diners they will serve or the products they will consume. However, that experience cannot cover situations such as weather conditions, holidays, or even business trends, which leads to costly errors in multiple areas such as purchasing or staffing.
We are now in a position to say that we have solved this problem and, therefore, to provide restaurateurs with the ultimate tool to make their businesses more profitable and sustainable.

But at Controliza, we are naturally restless, which is why we always keep learning, improving, and adding more value, or as we say, “solving real problems better.”
Therefore, as mentioned before, we can finally say that the Controliza platform includes all the tools a hospitality professional needs to make the right decisions for their business, directly impacting profitability and growth.
Each tool is powerful on its own;
combined, they are unparalleled.
