How Restaurant Company Europe Runs +75 Locations from One Single Source of Truth
Restaurant Company Europe (RCE), a prominent hospitality company with more than 75 locations in the Netherlands, embarked on a mission to optimize growth and enhance operations.
By implementing Apicbase, an all-encompassing F&B management system, RCE aimed to streamline their processes, consolidate data, and improve decision-making.
This case study explores the transformative impact of Apicbase on RCE’s operations, highlighting the challenges faced, the solutions provided, and the outstanding outcomes achieved.
What was the challenge?
RCE, home to renowned hospitality concepts such as Loetje, Happy Italy, Stan, Beers & Barrels, and unique standalone locations, experienced substantial growth within the Netherlands.
With a focus on guest experience and a commitment to quality, RCE recognized the need for a unified system that could efficiently manage recipes, menu engineering, procurement, inventory, and food costs.
RCE operated with separate departments and disparate sources of data, leading to inefficiencies and potential errors.
Before implementing Apicbase, RCE encountered several challenges in their F&B management processes.
Working with Excel files and scattered data sources made it difficult to consolidate information, resulting in a lack of control and potential errors.
The need for synergy across departments, particularly during a period of rapid growth, called for a centralized system that could bring all aspects of F&B management together.
We have one source of truth where we have anything at our fingertips, in just one click.

What would you say to other restaurant leaders?
