- Profitability Improvement: Sourcing & Procurement
50-store barbecue restaurant chain was rapidly expanding through 2025. Timelines of new location construction had increased from 120 days to over 160. Supply chain was affecting procurement of construction materials, restaurant supplies and food, especially protein.
Our team analyzed procurement spend volumes and prices, and compared to material indices. We reviewed purchase contracts to identify gaps in agreements and address at next renewal. We redesigned end-to-end construction process based on feedback from contractors and historical causes of timeline or cost overruns.
