Case Study: Waterloo Investment Holdings achieves centralized reporting, faster decisions and cost savings with Restaurant365

Waterloo Investment Holdings - Customer Case Study

Waterloo Investment Holdings, facing rapid growth and the acquisitions of Charlie Browns and Texas Steakhouse, needed to centralize recipes, food costs, labor and accounting that were scattered across Excel spreadsheets and slow reporting. To gain daily operational visibility for store staff, managers and home-office executives, Waterloo engaged Restaurant365 and implemented Compeat RADAR (Ctuit/Compeat) as the integrated reporting and operations solution.

Restaurant365 delivered a consolidated, easy-to-access system (Compeat RADAR) across 11 concepts and 85 locations with daily report exports and mobile/cloud access for managers. The solution let teams react to sales and staffing in real time: Charlie Browns cut labor by 1.0% and food costs by 0.75%, Garfield’s and Garcia’s each saved 0.5% of hourly labor dollars, and Texas Steakhouse was operational on Day 1—demonstrating measurable operational and cost improvements enabled by Restaurant365.
