Case Study: Jim’s Steakout saves $500,000 in yearly food costs with Craftable

Jim’s Steakout Saves $500,000 in Yearly Food Costs with Craftable

Jim's Steakout, a quick-service restaurant chain in western New York, was facing rising food costs and inefficient financial management. Their controller, Guy Macon, was using error-prone spreadsheets to manage data, a process that became even more impractical after switching their point-of-sale system to Toast. This manual method created inconsistencies and prevented the company from having the visibility needed to identify cost savings.

Craftable provided a solution by integrating the restaurant's Toast and QuickBooks systems into a single source of truth for data. This automation eliminated manual data entry and human error from food cost calculations. By implementing Craftable, Jim’s Steakout saved 640 labor hours annually and achieved a dramatic reduction in food costs, saving the company $500,000 per year.
