The market winced. Business spend held firm.
The Coupa Business Spend Index™ Quarterly Update
Centralizing Operations Across 4,500 Kitchens
To combat rising labor costs and inefficient site-level purchasing, WSH deployed Coupa across 4,500 locations. This unified supply chain cut ordering time by 60%, empowering chefs to focus on food.
Value as a service
Challenge
Purchasing was fully devolved to each chef
Orders required manual calls, emails, or logins
No shared suppliers meant zero spend visibility
Labor costs and legislation required better data
Results
Daily ordering time dropped by over 60%
Platform scaled to 2.5 million invoices a year
80% of site-level spend now flows through Coupa
Chefs reclaimed time for customers and food
"It's not just about cost-saving, it's not about cutting labour costs — it's about reallocating that labour to value-added tasks: drive sales, engage with the customer, bring theatre of food to our customers."
— Simon Fennell | Supply Chain Commercial Director | WSH
