About The Customer
Yard House Restaurants is an upscale eatery chain that opened its first restaurant along California’s Long Beach waterfront in 1996. The company is known for its great food, classic rock, and the world’s largest selection of draft beer. It has grown to include nine restaurants and was named a Hot Concept by Nation’s Restaurant News in 2002. The company accommodates as many as 250 beers on tap and serves a variety of menu items including Jamaican jerk chicken wings, Caesar salad with seared ahi, and warm chocolate soufflé. The company has over 2,500 employees and seven locations.
The Challenge
Yard House Restaurants, an upscale eatery chain, was facing challenges due to its rapid expansion. The company had outgrown its original QuickBooks package by the time it expanded to a second restaurant. The operations became more dispersed, making it difficult for the IT staff to set up and maintain business systems in remote locations in several states. The company needed a solution that could handle its growing needs and provide centralized control over its operations.
The Solution
Yard House Restaurants selected Sage 100 Standard ERP software as its end-to-end business system after a careful selection process based on its flexibility, reliability, and insightful reporting. As operations became more dispersed, the company upgraded to Sage 100 Advanced ERP to leverage its enhanced LAN capabilities. This allowed the company to run its system across a T1 line, providing a point-to-point connection from headquarters to any site in the enterprise. The company also utilized the Visual Integrator module to post sales, labor, and inventory dollars directly into Sage 100 ERP, enabling it to streamline and achieve incredible efficiencies in both accounting and IT.
Operational Impact
  • Remote system management saves time for IT staff.
  • The number of accounting personnel is kept to a minimum.
  • Reports for owners and investors can be generated at the push of a button.
  • The company has every form of data consolidated into a single system, for easy access and complete reporting functionality.
