About Pieminister
Pieminister is an award-winning pie company founded in 2003 by Jon Simon and Tristan Hogg in Bristol. The B Corp certified business now employs around 300 people and operates restaurants across UK cities including Birmingham, Cardiff, Leeds, Liverpool, London and Manchester. They make all pies in their Bristol kitchens using 100% free range British meat and sell through supermarkets including Waitrose, Sainsburys and Tesco.
The challenge
Pieminister were juggling their labour, sales and food costs alongside a new delivery service. With spreadsheets growing and eating into their time, they needed a solution to help them manage their data.
With a lot of data, they wanted to find a more efficient way of managing it in one place.
Adding a delivery service had introduced a new stream of data to their business - they needed to work out how much money they were making from it.
The solution
We implemented Tahola-AI across 15 sites in the UK. Pieminister supplied all their head office staff and general managers with relevant, digestible insights.
Head office staff now had easy access to a birds eye view of the business as a whole, while general managers had a firmer grasp on the performance of their business, allowing them to make smarter decisions backed up by the data.
The results
All restaurant numbers and performance data can now be viewed in one place at the click of a button. We eradicated excessive spreadsheets, significantly reducing time spent collating reports.
The finance team's capacity to analyse data increased substantially, freeing up time to focus on insights rather than data collection.
"Pieminister's challenge was classic hospitality - drowning in spreadsheets when they should be focusing on growing the business. Implementing Tahola-AI across their 15 sites and seeing them cut reporting time by 50% while discovering new trends was brilliant. It's exactly why we built our hospitality-specific solution."
