Case Study: Bright Kitchen reduces food cost by 8% with Apicbase

Bright Kitchen - Customer Case Study

Bright Kitchen is a dark kitchen network run by founder Rens Bekkers, operating seven plant-based virtual brands from three kitchens in Amsterdam and Eindhoven. The team needed better visibility into food costs, inventory, and supplier ordering to manage a tech-driven food business more efficiently, so they turned to Apicbase and its menu engineering, procurement, inventory management, sales analytics, and HACCP/task tools.

With Apicbase, Bright Kitchen connected supplier and POS data to improve cost control and decision-making. The platform helped reduce overall food costs by 8%, close the inventory gap to 2%, and pinpoint uncontrolled stock, with most issues traced to just 20% of ingredients. Apicbase also supported central ordering and menu engineering, helping Bright Kitchen continue producing top-selling delivery dishes.
