I'm attempting to forecast the sales for the last three periods of a restaurant.

Given the way the sales vary overall, using a seasonal forecast sounds appropriate as I have last year's data. But, I'm open to other suggestions.

I've come across the forecast.ets function. But, to say the elements are confusing is an understatement.

Any help would be appreciated.
