Case Study I – Peruvian-Nikkei Dinner Club
The collaboration began in Q4 2024. It is important to highlight that the restaurant focuses on rare, premium, and ultra-fresh ingredients, the delivery of which is consistently disrupted by international supply chain issues. In 2025, the situation became even more challenging due to rising seafood prices across Europe; consequently, to avoid increasing menu prices for guests, the restaurant had to implement exceptionally strict controls. Advanced kitchen technologies were introduced, reducing product shrinkage from 25% to under 10%, alongside the implementation of zero-waste ingredient utilization and daily inventory control protocols. Simultaneously, bar operations were tightened by introducing automated portion pourers and daily beverage variance tracking, which successfully eliminated over-pouring and product loss.
The return on investment (ROI) for the cost-control services is undeniable: even without accounting for market inflation, the restaurant achieved a 122.71% net ROI. When reflecting actual market conditions — such as food inflation and the spike in alcohol excise duties —the result is even more impressive: the implemented controls protected the restaurant from losses and delivered a 352.31% net ROI, meaning that every euro invested generated more than three and a half euros in direct operational savings.
