Black and White equips its franchisees to manage their inventory

Tell us briefly who you are and how long you've been working for Black and White

Bertrand Claquin, Head of Purchasing at Black and White Burger for more than 16 months.

Why did you choose Yokitup, and how did you manage purchasing, inventory and margin control before?

We chose Yokitup to give our franchisees a management tool that lets them place orders, receive deliveries, run inventory counts and manage stock.
We also wanted to build our recipes and determine our food cost, so we could calculate theoretical and actual margins.
We also chose Yokitup because it was compatible with our existing POS system.

A word on Yokitup's support and setup

The Yokitup teams supported us all the way through the setup. The rollout followed a reverse schedule that was defined and put in place together.
Yokitup adapted to our POS system in Belgium and provided a solution and the necessary adjustments in very little time.

What are the main benefits of using Yokitup? (margin points gained, time saved per week / month...)

We're still in the launch phase: the core features are in use, and team adoption is the real highlight so far.
This summer we're launching the management phase, to give our franchisees a real management tool, with the aim of gaining 1 to 2 margin points.

How do the teams use Yokitup day to day? (features, mobile app, etc.)

Operational staff mainly use phones and tablets for orders, deliveries and inventory counts; managers use a computer for credit notes and management.

Which Yokitup features do you use the most?

Ordering and receiving + analytics.

What's new for you right now, and what are your next ambitions?

Black and White keeps on developing and growing, with 15 more openings planned by the end of the coming year.

Any final words?

Yokitup seems to be the right solution for a growing network whose teams were never used to counting and managing.
The tool is very easy to get started with, very user-friendly, intuitive and suited to all types of staff.
