Case Study: Cook N Solo achieves real-time food-cost control and streamlined payables with xtraCHEF

Cook N Solo - Customer Case Study

Cook N Solo, the James Beard Award–winning restaurant group led by Michael Solomonov and Steven Cook, was spending excessive time processing invoices manually and, while using QuickBooks, lacked in-depth food cost reports and dashboards. To solve these back-office gaps they turned to xtraCHEF.

xtraCHEF integrated with QuickBooks Online to automate payables, deliver real-time cost-of-goods reporting and dashboards, and enable one‑click bill generation from a mobile device. As a result, Cook N Solo streamlined back-of-house operations, reduced time and effort on invoice processing, gained deeper insight and control over pricing and value decisions as sales occur, and expects to be exponentially more efficient with xtraCHEF.
