Case Study: bartaco achieves 50% lower food cost variance with Craftable

Bartaco reduces food cost variance by 50% with Craftable

bartaco, a full-service restaurant group with 32 locations, faced significant challenges with its manual kitchen prep process. This method, which relied on individual chefs to decide what and how much to prep, was time-consuming, inaccurate, and led to substantial food waste and cost variance. To address this, bartaco partnered with vendor Craftable to implement its Production Preps module.

Using Craftable's platform, bartaco automated its prep calculations based on sales forecasts and shelf life data. This solution provided precise daily prep instructions, drastically reducing inefficiency. The results were substantial: bartaco achieved a 50% reduction in food cost variance, saving over $30,000 weekly and reclaiming 40+ labor hours monthly through the operational efficiencies delivered by Craftable.
