Case Study: COPA achieves better inventory control and restaurant growth with Lightspeed Restaurant (U-Series)

Upserve Inventory’s Impact on Restaurant Growth

The customer, Copa, a full-service Cuban restaurant in Durham, North Carolina, faced the challenge of scaling its operations from a small sandwich shop into a larger, more complex establishment with a full bar. The owners needed a comprehensive restaurant management platform to help reduce waste, manage new inventory demands, and provide actionable data to support their growth. They chose the vendor Lightspeed Restaurant (U-Series) for its integrated suite of tools, including point-of-sale and inventory management.

Lightspeed Restaurant (U-Series) provided an all-in-one solution that automated inventory tracking, reduced manual counting to just 30 minutes per week, and delivered daily sales reports for better decision-making. The results were significant, including a drastic reduction in waste and improved cash flow management. The owners specifically credited the inventory system with saving them hours of work weekly and providing the crucial data needed to price menu items correctly and order efficiently.
