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."
