Case Study: Matchbox LLC achieves major labor savings and a 2% food-cost reduction with Restaurant365

Matchbox LLC Finds Its Perfect Match

Matchbox LLC, the Washington DC–area operator behind Matchbox, Ted’s Bulletin and DC-3 with ten locations, struggled for years with QuickBooks and spreadsheets to manage accounting and back-office operations. Data entry was tedious, decentralized and error-prone, so Matchbox turned to Restaurant365’s restaurant management platform to centralize accounting, inventory and back-office workflows.

Restaurant365 automated vendor invoice imports and centralized store processing, cutting manual invoice work (previously an hour per Sysco delivery) and saving about 8–10 hours of manager labor per week per store. Using Restaurant365’s recipe, costing and menu-engineering tools, Matchbox reduced food cost by 2%, streamlined inventory and accounting, and supported ongoing expansion with new locations opened in 2012 and more planned.
