The challenge

Because the team at CookNSolo were processing invoices manually, they were burning a lot of time and effort in the payables process. Because they were using QuickBooks, they lacked in-depth food cost reports and dashboards.

Their thoughts

"xtraCHEF is allowing us to manage our cost of goods in real-time and better than ever before. No other solution is capable of delivering price and value decisions as sales occur. They’ve changed the game, and I’m confident that we will be exponentially more efficient as a business because of xtraCHEF."

The result

Michael Solomonov and Steven Cook of CookNSolo Restaurants selected xtraCHEF to streamline their back-of-house operations. The James Beard Award Winning partners in CookNSolo, Chef Michael Solomonov and Steven Cook, own one of the leading restaurant groups on the East Coast. As they work to expand the reach of their individual brands, they partnered with xtraCHEF for deeper and more effective insight and control into the backend of their operations.

xtraCHEF’s key advantage is its ability to integrate directly with QuickBooks Online and allow bills to be generated with one click of a button on your phone.
