Case Study: Savory Fund (private equity restaurant investor) achieves near-immediate 1–2% HCM cost savings with Harri

Helping a private equity fund protect and grow the value of its restaurant investments

Savory Fund, a private equity firm that owns and operates 120 restaurants across eight brands, faced the common restaurant-sector challenge of controlling frontline labor and HCM costs — from scheduling and fluctuating hours to onboarding, benefits administration, and compliance. To standardize and scale people operations across disparate concepts, Savory Fund turned to Harri’s AI‑infused cloud HCM platform as its system of record.

Harri was implemented across every restaurant in Savory Fund’s portfolio, providing unified onboarding, scheduling, manager‑to‑employee communication, and customizable dashboards that surface KPIs and store performance. The roll‑out improved employee experience and operational visibility and delivered a quantifiable near‑immediate 1–2% reduction in HCM‑related costs per brand, along with lower labor costs and easier onboarding.
