Case Study: Church's Chicken (Ampler) achieves 2% food-cost savings, faster reporting and improved labor control with SynergySuite

Church's Kitchen Saves 2% on Food & Countless Hours on Reporting

Ampler Chicken, the largest Church’s Chicken franchisee with 93 restaurants across the southern U.S., faced operational challenges after acquiring 18 locations that were still using antiquated back-of-house systems and manual inventory and scheduling processes. Leadership prioritized getting food and labor costs under control and standardizing systems across stores to support continued growth.

Ampler implemented SynergySuite’s core modules—reporting/BI, purchasing, inventory, labor/scheduling, HRM, and cash management—with focused training and mobile access for managers. The result: improved visibility and faster decisions via scheduled reports and live data, roughly a 2% improvement in food costs at the acquired restaurants, reduced time spent on reporting, more efficient labor deployment, and overall hours and cost savings.
