Profitability
“Our ability to consolidate the business has brought us added savings we had not planned on. We are significantly more profitable under DelaGet's platform. Our partnership has become one we can count on, and hope to grow with for a long time.”
– Jim Reddin, President, Redking Foods (Burger King Franchisee)
“I think I’m real lucky. We didn’t have to start our business in a world where we didn’t have good information on a daily basis about the business. Within one year, we were able to build two new restaurants and focus on other aspects of the business because the information that we needed was available.”

Integration—Payroll and General Ledger
“A key piece that saves us a great deal of time and money is the interface between TACO and our Payroll, A/P, and GL systems. We've been using these integrations for so long that we take them for granted, but it has clearly helped us minimize our office staff and administrative payroll over the years.”
– Dale Martens, Owner, Denali Foods (Taco Bell Franchisee)
“Running a good operation means being aware of every aspect of your business. Timely processing of data results in quicker response to follow trends, correct problems, or take advantage of forecasted opportunities. With the DelaGet system, all store data is processed accurately, turning that information into useful tools in hours, not days.”

Increased Revenue
“DelaGet allows us to manage our base business on the information we have so we can focus resources early-on against acquiring land and building restaurants.”
– Owner ERC
“I know what my check is going to be before I get it. And, if there is a discrepancy, and there has been, we can correct it. Indisputable accuracy, DelaGet!”

Excess Costs Decreased
“Based on what we understand the restaurants were running prior to us buying them, the first quarter we owned them we brought food costs down 3%. Employee meals were reduced by .5%.”
– Owner ERC
“I’ve to a 2 1/2+ margin improvement this period versus the same period last year.”
– VP Operations Sky Ventures
“I never saw shortages go as berserk as they did we didn’t have any visibility to it all. This year, I’ve seen an incredible improvement in shortages. It’s $70,000 less this year. It was a half a point, now it’s down to a tenth.”
– VP Operations Sky Ventures
“DelaGet helps me make decisions and corrections quicker than I used to because I didn’t get the numbers for a week. Now, I get them daily, and I can focus on more detail items like menu problems, pricing, labor issues, and scheduling. It has helped a lot.”

Labor Costs Managed Effectively
“I think I’m real lucky. We didn’t have to start our business in a world where we didn’t have good information on a daily basis about the business. Within on year, we were able to build two new restaurants and focus on other aspects of the business because the information that we needed was available.”
– Owner ERC
“You must watch your labor costs. If you save 1.0%, you’re saving $50,000 on five million in sales. DelaGet delivers measurable ROI. Definitely! Last year, I ran labor costs of 20.1% for my calendar year. This year it’s running 19.7%. It might not seem like a lot, but when you’re running in the four and a half to five million range, it makes a big difference. DelaGet opening my eyes to discounts and allowances. I didn’t realize how much was going out the door, as far as redemption of coupons.”
– Owner of a Carl’s Jr. franchise
“With DelaGet, I can tell you exactly where I am with labor costs. Total labor is down eight-tenths, year-to-date we’re down about 2 points. Conservatively at eight-tenths, we’re up a $151,000, which I easily equate to having visibility to the numbers. Actually the last 28 days really improved. We saved about $36,000.00 in labor costs. We didn’t have this type of visibility before. Now, I can manage a lot better. The very next morning, I can see how a restaurant did relative to our plan, relative to ur forecast in one clean, concise report.”

Reporting
“We believe that DelaGet’s technology capabilities will allow our franchisees to manage their businesses more effectively, while providing IHOP Corp. valuable system-wide information about the effectiveness of our sales and marketing initiatives. By implementing DelaGet’s services, we will provide management with data that is both richer and timelier.”
– IHOP Vice President
“We run a very good operation. One of the things I do is watch my numbers very carefully. With DelaGet, I get my numbers the next day, consolidated numbers I can run any way I want, when I want.”
– Owner of a Carl’s Jr. franchise
“It’s been very good for us with speed of service. We run at about 2 minutes and 30 seconds per order. Plus, we’ve been able to follow up and find out exactly what went wrong when somebody had a tough speed of service day in order to coach them out of those situations. It has really helped us tighten up our SOS. SOS ranking reports are sent directly to the stores. We see the ranking reports hanging in the restaurants. And we hear a lot of ‘we’re in fourth place; we need to move to first place.’ It develops competition in sales and speed of service! In sales and speed of service, we’re really seen a lot of trading best practices and sharing of information between restaurants on how they’re getting their results.”
– Owner ERC
“Right after we rolled out a new promotion, I was talking with the CFO at Pizza Hut. We were talking about sales growth and product mix. I’m telling him what our numbers were. I asked him how the whole promotion was going for them, and he didn’t even know at that moment. He didn’t have it at his fingertips. I had real-time visibility to it.”

Fraud Prevention
“I go online with my bank and I match up the deposits made versus the deposits shown on DelaGet. With cash shortages, you know about it the next morning; you can find out what happened and make timely corrections. With quick access to critical data and information, discrepancies can be resolved sooner than later.”
