Case Study: Chicago Scoops LLC achieves rapid multi-state scalability and inventory visibility with PAR OPS

How Restaurant Magic built Data Central functionality for this client’s scalability efforts

Chicago Scoops LLC, a Cold Stone Creamery franchise group led by Kyle Welch, had grown rapidly to 40–41 locations across 11 states and needed a scalable system to manage multi-state suppliers, labor rules and regional menu differences. They selected Data Central from PAR OPS to provide customizable reporting, recipe-based inventory and POS (FOCUS) integration so the team could gain control, visibility and flexibility as they scale toward their goal of 100 locations.

PAR OPS implemented Data Central with a modular rollout, delivering a fully operational inventory system across all 41 stores within 3 months and completing the overall rollout in 6 months (vs. the typical 6–8 month industry timeline). The PAR OPS solution’s POS integration, custom dashboards and reporting have already lowered labor costs, improved inventory visibility and reduced waste, giving Chicago Scoops LLC measurable operational efficiencies and an automated path to add new locations.
