Sarbari, the web-based restaurant software provider, today announced they have added the 40th Plaza Azteca location to the list of restaurant and foodservice operators utilizing their purchasing software for the back-of-the-house. Plaza Azteca started in Virginia Beach, VA in the late 1990s and has expanded to include restaurants in New Jersey, North Carolina, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania.
“We started using Sarbari’s purchasing software at two of our locations in Pennsylvania, and when we saw the positive impact it was having on our management team and the bottom line at those stores, it was an easy decision to expand its use to other locations,” explains Maria Saez, VP Operations Manager for Plaza Azteca. “The software is such a powerful tool and provides so much data around all the purchasing for the back-of-the-house, that it’s become an integral part of our business model moving forward.”
An organization like Plaza Azteca that relies heavily on fresh ingredients for their menus, realizes tremendous value from the software by streamlining purchasing for the high volumes of produce, proteins, and non-food items they buy every week. The software from Sarbari allows each store to independently make purchases from all of their regular suppliers, while providing the Plaza Azteca management team with access to purchasing and food cost data for every location.
“Plaza Azteca and their management team are always trying to help their stores grow, operate more efficiently, and be successful,” commented Sebastian Serra, founder and CEO of Sarbari. “Maria Saez and her team have been strong advocates of Sarbari, and having the support of their management team has been very beneficial as we continue to grow as a company.”
Sarbari partners with restaurants and foodservice operations of all shapes and sizes, including independent family-owned restaurants, multi-unit restaurant groups, country clubs, and institutional foodservice operations to help them operate more efficiently, productively, and profitably.
