Client Overview

ARJH is the owner and operator of 8 Popeyes restaurant locations, managing a large workforce across multiple stores. Like many multi-location restaurant franchise operators, ARJH needed consistent, reliable visibility into daily sales performance and labor hours to support faster, data-driven operational decisions.

The Challenge

As ARJH expanded to multiple locations, daily sales reporting became increasingly manual and time-consuming. Critical data lived in spreadsheets, requiring cleanup and validation before leadership could act on it. The challenges are;

Manual report gathering: Sales data was pulled daily from PARTech back office system.

Time-consuming formatting: Raw data exports required manual cleanup and conversion into store-level summaries.

Delayed operational insights: Leadership often lacked access to the previous day’s sales data until later in the day, slowing decision-making.
