Case Study: Bonanno Concepts cuts AP time to under 1 hour and saves $600/week with xtraCHEF

A Shift to Digital Restaurant Operations Drives Bonanno Concepts Forward

Bonanno Concepts is a Denver-based, chef-driven restaurant group operating nine diverse concepts under Chef Frank Bonanno. Faced with complex, labor-intensive accounts payable and inventory work—and the need to keep Restaurant365 as the system of record—Bonanno Concepts moved through Bill.com and Plate IQ before selecting xtraCHEF to simplify invoice capture, line-item data extraction, and improve accuracy across its brands.

xtraCHEF’s AP Management integrates with Restaurant365, lets chefs and managers snap invoices on mobile devices, extracts and codes line-item data, and delivers it to Restaurant365 with fast support from xtraCHEF’s Customer Success team. The switch cut AP labor from 4–10 hours per week to under one hour (about $600/week in wage savings), saved $50–$60/week in subscription costs, improved data accuracy, and set the stage for xtraCHEF Inventory Management to eliminate hours spent creating 50–100 new menu items weekly.
