- Profitability Improvement: Sourcing & Procurement
A private equity owner of a 50-store barbecue restaurant chain faced margin pressure and construction delays amid rapid expansion. Pandemic-related supply chain disruptions had extended new store build timelines from 120 to over 160 days, while rising material and food costs were eroding profitability.
Our team assessed procurement and construction processes, analyzing spend, supplier agreements, pricing, and benchmarking against commodity indices. We redesigned the construction workflow using contractor feedback and past project data to eliminate inefficiencies, improve accountability, and create scalable practices.
