Footfall
Everything you need for one week ahead
- One or more locations, each with its own opening hours and special days
- A walking radius you choose
- Supplier cutoffs for each delivery day, with a message ready to send
For local businesses that live on foot traffic
Know which days will be busy before your order is due.
Cafés, restaurants, shops, pubs and food trucks: Footfall watches local events and the weather around your business, explains which ones matter for your opening hours, and shows you which supplier order to adjust before the cutoff.
Free for one location. No card needed. The demo uses a fictional Cork café.

The problem
Your busiest days are decided by what happens down the street.
Events you never hear about
Graduations, matches, gigs and conferences fill the streets nearby. Nobody tells the business on the corner.
Weather that changes the day
A wet afternoon empties the street and a bright one fills it, often after you've placed your order.
Cutoffs that don't wait
Stock, bakery and dairy orders close days ahead. By the time the crowd arrives, it's too late to order more.
How it works
From a noisy city to one clear decision
Refresh your local picture
In one tap, Footfall checks a curated set of Cork venue pages and the weather forecast for each of your locations.
See your week, ranked
Events within your walking radius and opening hours rise to the top. Anything that doesn't fit is shown as filtered out, with the reason.
Check the evidence
Each insight shows the source quote, when it was checked, how far away it is, the likely effect and how confident Footfall is.
Act before the cutoff
Footfall links each insight to the supplier deadline it affects and drafts a message. You edit it, approve it and copy it. Nothing is sent for you.
Honest by design
A second pair of eyes, not a crystal ball
Footfall shows its working, so you can decide how much to trust it.
Evidence on every card
Every insight quotes its source page, with a link and the time it was checked.
Effect sizes are a guide, not a forecast
Small, medium and big effect labels come from simple, visible rules. Footfall never invents attendance or sales figures.
You stay in control
You choose the quantities. Footfall never places orders, sends messages or spends money for you.
Nothing quietly dropped
Filtered-out events, out-of-date sources and failed refreshes are shown, not hidden.
Who it's for
Built for small and medium businesses that live on foot traffic
