With a mission to \u2018Believe in Better\u2122\u2019, the brand has been dedicated to delighting guests with top-quality sandwiches while also supporting the communities they serve in. Since 2018, Cousin Subs has been leveraging PAR OPS, an enterprise restaurant management solution, integrated with PAR POS, an all-in-one cloud-based POS software, as well as the Punchh Loyalty Platform to accurately serve customers faster while also reducing their food and labor costs.<\/p><p>Prior to implementing PAR OPS, Cousins Subs experienced major challenges with multi-unit reporting, labor forecasting, and their inventory management system. At this point, the brand understood they needed to undergo a major tech overhaul. According to J.J. Grube, Cousins Subs Vice President of Operations and Finance, with the new system, Cousins Subs wanted to have the ability to compare multiple locations to uncover top and bottom performers, access forecasting reports that highlight inventory and labor challenges, and harness PAR OPS capabilities to capitalize on these insights. Additionally, the brand wanted its reports to be easily digestible to limit the amount of time operators spent researching and understanding them.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1cec4ec7\" data-id=\"1cec4ec7\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6df481ad elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6df481ad\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"762\" src=\"https:\/\/partech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Cousins-Subs-Case-Study.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-11601\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/partech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Cousins-Subs-Case-Study.jpg 800w, https:\/\/partech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Cousins-Subs-Case-Study-300x286.jpg 300w, https:\/\/partech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Cousins-Subs-Case-Study-768x732.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c125d28 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c125d28\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-552844b5\" data-id=\"552844b5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-342e4e96 elementor-section-content-top elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"342e4e96\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-38217966\" data-id=\"38217966\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2220c2ee elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2220c2ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">\u201cPAR OPS has a positive ROI for us, just by looking at the impact on our inventory and our food costs.

PAR OPS\u2019s innovative and easy-to-use restaurant management solution has helped the brand lower labor and food costs while delivering a more memorable and fulfilling customer experience. <strong>In the first year after the implementation of PAR OPS, the brand saved roughly $250,000 through inventory savings.<\/strong> \u201cOur food costs have improved by over 2% in just year one. We recently ran the last period and it was our best variance ever,\u201d said Grube. \u201cWe ran a 1.4% variance versus our 1.85% target. Our labor costs have also improved by 1% through better forecasting.\u201d<\/p><p>Additionally, Cousins Subs has been able to save valuable time when it comes to inventory reporting as PAR OPS has removed the need for hand-crafted reports. The brand\u2019s old inventory system required operators to keep track of and write down stock counts with weights, then calculate them, which is a time-consuming task, often taking up to three hours. \u201cWith the PAR OPS portal, we actually have a calculator in the inventory function, so operators can just add it up right there,\u201d said Grube. \u201cNot having to write it down and then calculate our inventory saves us immense time.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6d64a344 elementor-section-content-top elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6d64a344\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5bee81bc\" data-id=\"5bee81bc\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1497198d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1497198d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Moreover, Cousins Subs has been leveraging features like coupons and QR codes, scanned at the register, to not only reward customers for their loyalty but to also drive sales in stores. By using coupons and QR codes, Cousins Subs is provided with detailed data to uncover incremental sales from each use. Grube states that this data helps the brand make better decisions on future coupon offers, set sales goals, and determine which menu items will have the best ROI for these offers. \u201cWe now have redemption rates or incremental sales goals that we shoot for from coupon drops. The data helps us determine ROI for all coupons and supports our marketing objectives\u201d said Grube.<\/p>\n<p>By leveraging PAR OPS, Cousins Subs is provided with the features and functionality to win today and succeed in the future. Having access to daily inventory reports and data on food costs has helped the brand achieve important KPIs. According to Grube, \u201cthe biggest capability for us system-wide is the back-office cash management and the inventory functionality. That is where we see the biggest gains. 100% of our locations are using the portal for reporting to get their weekly DSR or if they want to look at PMIX.\u201d These capabilities and features provide Cousins Subs with a clear view of customer behavior and preferences, forecasts for future sales, and the ability to measure costs and sales performance.<\/p>\n<p>Cousins Subs also has plans to further leverage PAR OPS\u2019s capabilities and features to take their operations to the next level. Per Grube, the brand wants to utilize shift trading and the PAR OPS portal feed to ensure the perfect mix of employees is available and active for any given shift, especially during high foot traffic periods, as well as the functionality for employees to understand their daily duties.<\/p>\n<p>PAR Data Central integrated with PAR POS has exceeded Cousins Subs expectations. Grube goes as far as saying \u201cPAR OPS has a positive ROI for us, just by looking at the impact on our inventory and our food costs. You get all the reporting you need to help better react to different situations.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
