Case Study: Café Gratitude achieves streamlined ordering and spend visibility with BlueCart

How Does Café Gratitude Leverage BlueCart?

Café Gratitude, a 100% organic, plant‑based restaurant with five California locations, struggled with a fragmented ordering process—managers often dealt with 10–50 different suppliers and relied on phone calls and spreadsheets to place and track orders. To streamline procurement, they turned to BlueCart’s ordering platform (BlueCartHQ).

BlueCart implemented a centralized ordering system that automates order placement, tracking and reporting, eliminating manual spreadsheet entry and phone confirmations. As a result, Café Gratitude can print month‑end orders, get at‑a‑glance spending reports, and track who spent what, where and when—transforming a “nightmare” ordering process into an organized, auditable workflow.
