Case Study: Source Cafe saves 50% on avocados with meez

LA Cafe Saves 50% on Avocados with meez Purchasing Integration

Source Cafe, a health-focused restaurant group in Los Angeles, faced significant challenges with manual and inefficient food costing. Using Google Sheets, the process was time-consuming, and a lack of clear purchasing data meant they were unknowingly paying inconsistent prices for the same ingredients from their vendor. The meez platform was selected to automate recipe costing and bring clarity to their spending.

By implementing meez's recipe costing and purchasing integration, the team gained a live feed of purchasing data. This visibility immediately identified a major price discrepancy, allowing them to renegotiate with their vendor and achieve a 50% reduction on lime costs and consistent avocado pricing across locations. The solution from meez automated manual processes, saving 75% of the time previously spent on costing and freeing up their chefs to focus on other tasks.
