Case Study: Southernmost Restaurant Group achieves 2% food cost savings with Restaurant365

Southermost Takes the Plunge and Reaps the Cost Saving Rewards

Southernmost Restaurant Group, a multi-concept dining operator in Key West, faced significant challenges with its manual, spreadsheet-based inventory and accounting systems. The processes were time-consuming, prone to error, and resulted in unreliable cost reporting, taking a full accounting period to close the books. They selected Restaurant365 (referred to as Compeat in the case study) to gain control and accuracy over their operations.

By implementing Restaurant365's integrated back-office system, Southernmost automated its inventory, sales tracking, and seafood commissary distribution. This solution provided accurate portioning and eliminated manual data entry. The results were substantial, with Restaurant365 helping Southernmost achieve a 2% reduction in food costs and up to a 3% reduction in beverage costs, while also saving the equivalent of one full-time employee's workload through increased efficiency.
