Case Study: Playa Bowls scales operations and streamlines inventory with SimpleOrder

Playa Bowls - Customer Case Study

Playa Bowls, a fast-growing acai and smoothie bowl chain, was struggling to keep purchasing and inventory organized as it expanded from one location to 38 across the East Coast. Without a back-of-house system, the team faced ordering mistakes, poor inventory control, and no easy way to track sales against purchasing. SimpleOrder was brought in to provide a simple, intuitive solution for managing these operations.

SimpleOrder organized Playa Bowls’ entire purchasing process, gave managers clear inventory visibility, and provided reporting such as Cost of Goods Sold to help control spending. The platform was easy to teach and use across staff and suppliers, and it helped Playa Bowls order more precisely and avoid running out of key ingredients. With SimpleOrder, Playa Bowls gained the infrastructure needed to scale quickly and successfully.
