Dinetec in Action

Driving Efficiency and Cost Savings in Menu Management

A national casual dining concept was struggling with slow, manual menu change processes that made it difficult to efficiently update pricing and items, manage multiple menu versions, and align print production with actual ordering needs. This resulted in longer time to market and higher production costs for menu updates.

The Solution? Leveraging Dinetec’s menu management technology to gain time and efficiency in menu production.

• The application’s versioning platform was utilized to automate menu changes including price and item revisions
• Similar menu versions were grouped together which allowed client to analyze the financial profitability of menu consolidation
• Menu ordering patterns were integrated with print quantities to analyze percentage of inventory waste

Versioning technology resulted in an annualized savings of $100k and a 25% reduction in production time; menu consolidation netted an annual savings of $319k; and reduced inventory waste resulted in $85k annualized costs savings.
