Restaurant Management Groups are unlocking growth and optimization opportunities with data, analytics, and AI.
Restaurants are increasingly turning to data to create a competitive advantage and impact margins. Within every restaurant, there is a trove of valuable data, tracking each interaction with a customer, staff productivity, inventory usage, and more. Restaurants that can integrate that data and create meaningful insights into critical areas such as revenue, food cost, labor management, loss prevention, and menu-mix are seeing a significant boost in financial performance.
However, data sources have never been more siloed and disparate due to the industry evolving with third-party delivery solutions and online ordering. Messina Group has a track record of helping these organizations integrate their disparate sources of data and leverage data, analytics, and AI to realize quantifiable business value.

The Problem:
Many restaurants struggle to realize their desired business value from Digital Transformation initiatives. Beyond the typical people challenges, complexity can be high due to the differences among concepts, regions, and varying technical landscapes.

Standing in the way is the difficulty in consolidating all the disparate data sources and transforming them into meaningful, actionable insights that can be understood by the leadership team and store/district managers alike. Once the insights are in place, you need to build and nurture a data-driven culture to adopt and embrace data-led decisions.Our Solution:
