Case Study: NOVA Restaurant Group boosts profits by $850,000 and slashes audit time with Restaurant365

Nova Restaurant Group Produces $850,000 More in Bottom Line Profits

Nova Restaurant Group, which operates seven independent restaurants in Minnesota with more than 600 employees, needed an all‑in‑one, restaurant‑specific accounting and analytics platform to replace a patchwork of third‑party tools and to manage multiple locations, operational periods, and budgets. After evaluating options, Nova selected Restaurant365 to centralize its accounting and back‑office processes.

Restaurant365 consolidated Nova’s seven units, automating inter‑entity transfers, real‑time budgeting and reporting, and cutting the CFO’s weekly audit time from 12 hours to one. The solution enabled weekly budget tracking, drove operational improvements (one store bonused three consecutive quarters at 100% and three additional stores hit 100% bonuses), supported growth of about one store every 18 months, and contributed to $850,000 more in bottom‑line profit in the second‑quarter review after two years.
