Buffalo’s favorite fast-casual chain for Philly cheesesteaks saved $500,000 in food costs and 640 labor hours in one year after implementing Craftable.

The historic Saratoga Springs property gives about two workweeks back to its AP team every year.

Wedged between a copy center and a pet store in a St. Louis strip mall, Sugarfire Smokehouse sprung from humble beginnings and big dreams. But when it came to sharing the magic of Missouri’s barbeque with the rest of America, location was only an address. Since 2012, co-owners Mike Johnson and Carolyn Downs led a delicious expedition through their favorite cities, leaving mouth-watering meals in their wake. Now, with 14 locations, Sugarfire Smokehouse has made light work of their big dream–“spreading the gospel of smoked meat across the nation.”

With high food costs, tight margins, and fluctuating demand in the wake of a pandemic, restaurants must present themselves as perfectly-balanced operations. Fortunately, Sugarfire Smokehouse knows the recipe for success calls for use of the best tools at hand. That’s where Craftable comes in. 

Craftable is the only platform that seamlessly connects purchasing, recipes, inventory, and sales with accounting to help operators like Sugarfire drive profit. Here’s what Charlie Downs, President and Managing Partner of Sugarfire Smokehouse, had to say about teaming up with Craftable: 

“Sugarfire Smokehouse uses Craftable to connect purchases from US Foods with our inventory, recipes, and sales. Craftable lets us identify variance with actual versus theoretical inventory and also allows us to see our labor in real-time. The insights Craftable provides allow us to drive decision making and improve our bottom line.”
