Prototype for UAE bakeries

Bake what sells tomorrow.

خبزك ينباع، والباقي ما ينرمى.

Ghadan is an AI assistant for independent bakeries. Every night it sends tomorrow's baking plan on WhatsApp, item by item, with the reason behind each number. Before closing, it helps you sell what is left.

01The problem

Every night, a guess
goes in the bin.

Most bakeries decide tomorrow's quantities the same way: bake what we baked last week. When the day turns out different, the guess is wrong.

Baked too much

10:00pm

Trays still full at closing. Good bread goes in the bin.

Baked too little

2:00pm

Croissants sold out by lunch. Customers leave, and some don't come back.

The UAE's national initiative Ne'ma aims to halve food waste by 2030. Ghadan starts where bakery waste starts: the night before.

02How it works

From last week's sales
to tomorrow's trays.

    59%

    less waste, over one full year of a sample Sharjah bakery, compared with baking the same as last week.

    How we tested it

    We generated two years of sales for a sample Sharjah bakery, with weekdays, weather, Ramadan, Eid, holidays, promotions and big orders. For every day of the last year, the model trained only on the days before it, then its plan was compared with what customers wanted. The baseline bakes the same amount as on the same day last week. Real bakeries will differ, and that is exactly what the pilot is for.

    FAQ

    Questions,
    answered.

    Is Ghadan a real product yet?

    Ghadan is a working prototype. The forecast engine, the dashboard and the WhatsApp flow all run today on a sample bakery. We are looking for the first UAE bakeries to pilot it with.

    Why should I trust the numbers?

    Every number comes with its reason, like "Hot day, 8% less". You can change any number before baking. Ghadan suggests, you decide.

    Does it understand Ramadan and Eid?

    Yes. It learns how each item changes during Ramadan, the last 10 nights and Eid, and how sales move to the evening. Islamic dates in the prototype are approximate.

    Do I need a new system?

    The idea is that you don't. Ghadan is designed to run from simple daily numbers, what you baked and what sold, and to talk to you on WhatsApp. Connecting to point of sale systems comes later.

    Is the WhatsApp part live?

    The messages are designed and work inside the prototype as previews. Sending them through the WhatsApp Business platform is the next step.

    What happens to leftovers?

    First, Ghadan tries to bake less of it. Before closing, it suggests an offer. What still remains you log as donated, binned or sold, so the next plan gets sharper.
