Case Study: Ration Ales slashes prime costs and becomes profitable with Craftable

Ration Ales Slashes Prime Costs by 12% with Craftable

Ration Ales, a beer pub, opened with a significant challenge: managing its prime costs, which reached 72% in its first year. Without a proper inventory system, the business suffered from purchasing inefficiencies and waste. Owner Jim Nau turned to the vendor Craftable to implement its inventory management and food cost insights to gain control over expenses.

By fully implementing Craftable’s user-friendly platform, the team established new standard operating procedures for inventory counts. This provided accurate data that identified specific issues like over-portioning and over-purchasing. As a result, Ration Ales slashed its prime cost by 12%, moving from a loss to solid profitability in its second year. Craftable’s solution also saved significant time on inventory management and reduced waste.
