I've been responsible for the development of Antonio & Marco restaurants for 4 years. I'm in charge of branch and franchise restaurant openings, which means that I manage all aspects of the project from A to Z, including finance, construction, equipment, administration, decoration, etc., as well as all the parties involved. In particular, I support franchisees in their entrepreneurial project right up to their opening.

I'm also in charge of purchasing for the Group, negotiating with suppliers, managing the price list and so on.

When I joined the company, we only had two restaurants. It was easy to manage orders by telephone or text message for the chefs, calculate margins on an Excel spreadsheet and control stock via a paper list.

But with a view to becoming a larger network and to setting up a framework, particularly for franchising, we absolutely had to find a central tool for placing orders, taking inventory, drawing up technical data sheets, accounting for losses, margins...

- Mercurial entry = no possibility of ordering superfluous and non-merchurial products
- Prices entered in the tool and easily modifiable = rapid calculation of technical data sheets, which are updated automatically when prices change
- Tool linked to our cash register system = simplicity in calculating margins, sales, losses
- Easy to carry out inventories / flash inventories
- Control over store orders
- Request credit notes automatically from the application
- All company employees can use it simply from the mobile applicationsave time, margin points, centralization for the group

The restaurant teams use Yokitup every day to place orders, take delivery, take inventory... the mobile application is very well designed and easy to use for everyone, even those new to the restaurant business.

And on the head office side, we also use it every day from the back office, which is very complete and offers a multitude of possibilities (order control, sending invoices, calculating FT, analyzing figures....).

For my part in the purchasing department, it's mainly the back office, where we enter new products, update prices, and the technical data tab.

Soon, at the end of September, we'll be opening a new concept called A Bianca Romana, on rue Victor Hugo in Lyon. It's a concept of schiacciata with toppings, a real treat!
At the end of 2025, we'll be opening 3 franchised restaurants in Limas, Lozanne and Montpellier!
The end of 2025 and 2026 promise great things and great partnerships. We're always trying to innovate and create crazy projects!
As for the rest, I'll leave you with a bit of a surprise 😊

As a final word, I'd like to say that Yokitup has really become an essential tool for our growth over the last few years, and I don't think we could do without it!
