Comparison based on each vendor's public information, July 2026.
Fullsoon points its AI at predicting sales and cutting waste. methodus points its AI at the fiche itself: 35 seconds of voice, and the recipe comes out complete with grammages, allergens, and cost. Both use AI — one to guess demand, the other to remove the typing that keeps fiches from ever getting written.
Fullsoon's prediction lives on a manager's screen. methodus turns every fiche into quizzes and certifications, so the people pouring and plating know the spec before the variance exists. A forecast without a trained team still ends in a heavy pour and a sauce built from memory.
Fullsoon's forecasting is built around the kitchen and its stock. methodus treats the bar as a craft: cocktail specs at the well, doses and pour costs per drink, the same app the kitchen uses — so the Negroni leaves the same way on the Saturday you're off.
AI can forecast that Saturday will be busy. It can't make the new commis pour the exact dose or plate the sauce to spec. Kitchens typically run a 3 to 5% gap between theoretical and actual cost (Restaurant365, MarginEdge), and bars can lose up to 20% of their stock to drift (Sculpture Hospitality) — and no forecast closes that. methodus closes it where it opens: the spec in the team's hands, the cost on the fiche, the knowledge certified, so what the prediction can't protect becomes profit again.
Fullsoon uses AI to forecast sales and cut waste. methodus uses AI to build the spec sheet by voice, keep its cost current from invoices, and train the team on the standard. One predicts demand; the other pins the recipe and its cost, in service.
Yes. Fullsoon is focused on forecasting and kitchen waste reduction. methodus builds fiches by voice and treats the bar as a craft: cocktail specs, doses and pour costs per glass, in the same app, with a trained and certified team.
No, by design. Fullsoon's strength is AI prediction. methodus focuses on the living spec: voice capture, real cost kept current, team training and certification. Many venues keep their POS for sales and methodus for cost and the standard.
methodus starts at $69/mo for the whole house (1 Editor + 5 Learners, unlimited recipes), with a 14-day free trial and no card. Fullsoon is priced on request. Compare on what each one protects: the prediction, or the spec and the team.
