A DAY IN THE LIFE

Roots Natural Kitchen

A rapidly expanding, college-campus-centric fast-casual bowl concept, Roots Natural Kitchen shares how MarginEdge helped centralize their data, compare performance across 23 locations and improve efficiencies company-wide, all while supporting and streamlining their growth for each new store.

Roots Natural Kitchen

  • Location: Nationwide USA 
  • Number of units: 23
  • Number of concepts: 1
  • Cuisine: Healthy Fast Casual 
  • Tech stack: Toast and QuickBooks Online

Goal

With multiple locations and a mission set on bringing healthy, fast casual food options to college campuses nationwide, Roots Natural Kitchen needed a restaurant management system that would help them track COGS, compare performance across stores, maintain quality and training standards and stay up to date with real-time data to make smarter, faster business decisions.

Solution

With MarginEdge, Henry and his team are able to streamline their invoice processing, eliminate food cost blind spots across all of their locations and onboard new stores easily by copying over inventory, recipes and category data. Their culinary team can price new LTOs and elements quickly with up-to-date pricing data, and they can rest assured that Roots has a solutions partner in MarginEdge that grows with their operation as they expand. 

We couldn't have been Roots without MarginEdge making it so easy for our operators to know what's going on. They really think about what problems restaurants are having.
