Case Study: Sidewall Pizza Company achieves accurate inventory and optimized COGS with xtraCHEF

Sidewall Pizza Company Uses xtraCHEF to Support Operational Excellence and Expansion

Sidewall Pizza Company, an independent restaurant group that grew to six locations, struggled with manual, low-quality invoice scans, inconsistent inventory counts, and unreliable COGS data as it scaled. Seeking a technology solution to capture invoices accurately and standardize operations, Sidewall turned to xtraCHEF for invoice automation, inventory management, and recipe costing integrated with their POS.

xtraCHEF aggregated EDI feeds, provided mobile invoice capture and AP automation, and rolled out mobile inventory and recipe management tied to Toast sales data. The result: Sidewall eliminated error-prone manual scans, gained searchable invoices and accurate weekly inventory counts across locations, achieved clearer COGS reporting, implemented a GM bonus program based on real data, and sped new-location onboarding — all driven by xtraCHEF.
