Restaurant & Food Service
How a fast-food chain ended its slow, manual restaurant reporting
This fast-food chain ran on monthly, manual reporting, so leadership could not see how sales, promotions, assortment and food cost were really performing across restaurants. We built one operational view that pulls it together, so the team can manage restaurant performance without the reporting lag.

performance, not just chain-wide totals
Challenge
Restaurant performance arrived in slow manual reports, too late to act on weak promotions or food cost.
What we built
One operational reporting layer over sales, promotions, assortment and food cost.
Result
Restaurant performance the team can see and manage week to week.
The challenge
Leadership needed to know how each restaurant was doing across sales, checks, promotions, assortment and food cost. But the reporting was slow and manual, so by the time the numbers arrived, the chance to fix a weak promotion or a food-cost problem had often passed.
What we built
- Brought sales, checks, promotions, assortment and food cost data into one operational reporting layer.
- Added the analyses the team used to run the business, including like-for-like performance, what-if scenarios and ABC/XYZ on the menu.
- Made restaurant-level performance visible on its own, instead of waiting for a manual monthly roll-up.

The outcome
Leadership could see how promotions and assortment were performing while there was still time to act, and food cost stopped being a month-end surprise. Restaurant performance became something the team could manage week to week instead of reviewing after the fact.
Systems & technologies
Selected work from 3ALICA delivery teams. Some of these projects were delivered before 3ALICA's current US focus, but the work is the same kind we do now: practical analytics and reporting built on top of the systems a business already runs.
