Case Study: Sweetwater Sports Bar & Grill saves 4 hours a day and gains real-time cost control with TouchBistro

How Sweetwater Sports Bar & Grill Saves 4 Hours Each Day With TouchBistro & MarginEdge

Sweetwater Sports Bar & Grill in Lake Wylie, SC, owned by Chris Lorusso, is a family-style spot known for craft beer, hand-crafted burgers, and award-winning wings. The business was held back by an outdated POS and entirely manual bookkeeping: their retiring bookkeeper spent about four hours each day collecting data and entering spreadsheets, leaving Chris little time to focus on hospitality and real-time decision-making.

Switching to TouchBistro POS with MarginEdge integration automated invoicing, inventory counts, and recipe costing, giving real-time food-cost visibility, electronic invoice payments, and product-mix mapping. The change cut daily admin from roughly four hours to about 15 minutes, reduced inventory spend, caught pricing and POS errors, and delivered instant reporting and benchmarking to protect margins and run the restaurant more efficiently.
