With 11 locations in the DMV, Cordero Hospitality Group shares how MarginEdge helped centralize their data, improve liquor inventory and improve efficiencies company-wide, without hindering their culinary creativity.
Cordero Hospitality Group
Location: DMV
Number of units: 11
Number of concepts: 3
Cuisine: Mexican, Italian and German
Tech stack: Toast and QuickBooks Online
Goal
With multiple concepts and locations, centralizing their data into one place was a must-have for Regional Manager Allison Donohoe. After dealing with driving to multiple stores to pick up invoices, not having super accurate liquor costs for their robust bar program and not knowing if their seasonal menu items were profitable until it's too late, Cordero knew they needed an end-to-end RMS that could deliver.
Solution
With MarginEdge, Allison and managing partner of their Taco Rock locations, Hilton Cisnado, can now see and manage their profitability much more easily. And, with MarginEdge's Spanish language demos, app and helpdesk articles, their Spanish-speaking teams can easily use the software too, keeping everyone on the same page. Plus, their beverage director, Katherine Basile, is now able to take super accurate liquor inventory, keeping their liquor costs in check and profitability high.
“ I couldn’t imagine running Cordero Hospitality Group without MarginEdge currently. It would be impossible for us to move forward as a company if we didn’t have our cost reports in one place to be able to do inventory. I wouldn’t be able to do my job if we were still doing inventory on pen and paper. ”
