Case Study: Taste Buds Management achieves 3% food-cost savings and 2% back-of-house labor reduction with Restaurant365

Taste Buds saves 3% in food costs and 2% on back-of-house labor with Squirrel POS and Compeat

Taste Buds Management, which operates ten Zea Rotisserie & Grill locations plus Semolina, faced the challenge of replacing fragmented Excel/QuickBooks workflows with a reliable, integrated POS-to-back-office system to improve inventory, accounting, and daily operational control. They selected Restaurant365’s back-office and accounting solution integrated with their Squirrel POS to create a single source of truth for sales and inventory data.

Restaurant365 implemented an integrated solution that polls Squirrel POS daily, supports purchase-order-to-payment tracking, par-level ordering, and a daily P&L workbook for precise reporting and menu analysis. As a result, Taste Buds achieved measurable savings of about 3% in food costs and 2% in back-of-house labor, eliminated duplicate entry, reduced accounting headcount even while doubling units, and gained faster, more reliable financial and purchasing controls.
