“We knew we had made a good decision when we had already made back our initial investment only 3 months into using RADAR." - Andrea McLenon, Director of Operations, Cowboy Star
(PRWEB) July 06, 2017
In a recent interview at Ctuit’s annual user conference in May, Andrea McLenon, Director of Operations for Cowboy Star Restaurants stated, “We knew we had made a good decision when we had already made back our initial investment only 3 months into using RADAR.”
Cowboy Star successfully ran their San Diego location for over 10 years before transferring that knowledge to a new location in Colorado Springs. However, the owners knew that they would have to streamline their operational processes before being able to further replicate the concept.
Cowboy Star started looking around for a business intelligence platform, and though they found many out there that could help with different aspects of the business, only RADAR was comprehensive enough to be an all-inclusive package for all their needs. “I would not even call the other software systems that we considered competitors,” says Andrea McLenon, Director of Operations. “I don’t think that there is anything out there comparable to what RADAR does for every aspect of our business.”
McLenon was immediately pleased to move from receiving an excel report from their accountant (two weeks after the period had ended) to being able to see where they are at any given time. “Instead of seeing that we overspent on linens 6 weeks ago, we can see that there is a problem, and start correcting immediately,” states McLenon.
“We knew we had made a good decision when we had already made back our initial investment only 3 months into using RADAR,” says McLenon. “We are a small company, so I felt that the this was a large investment upfront; however, once we were able to recoup that money in such a short amount of time, and then continue to grow our profitability using the tools, we have never looked back.”
