Case Study: Pine State Biscuits Streamlines Operations and Saves Hours with MarketMan

How Pine State Biscuits Streamlined Operations and Reclaimed Hours Each Day with MarketMan

Pine State Biscuits, a fast casual restaurant group with five brick-and-mortar locations and a mobile food trailer, was spending hours each day managing inventory in spreadsheets and struggling with frequent vendor price changes, ordering errors, and limited real-time visibility into costs and performance. To solve these challenges, the company turned to MarketMan for streamlined ordering and inventory management.

With MarketMan integrated with Square, Pine State Biscuits gained real-time cost visibility, more accurate COGS tracking, and automated checks that reduced ordering mistakes and inventory discrepancies. The impact was significant: ordering time dropped from two to three hours a day to just 30–45 minutes, inventory counts shifted from monthly to daily, and managers were able to use Actual vs. Theoretical reports to make faster, data-driven decisions.
