Basmah Kitchens
A 6-branch casual dining group that grew from a single flagship location.
Restaurants · 6 branches · 95 staff
22% cut in food waste
The challenge
Basmah Kitchens grew from one location to six branches, but recipe costing and inventory were still managed per branch in disconnected spreadsheets. Head office had no consolidated view of dish-level margins or where food waste was actually concentrated.
The previous workflow
- Each branch manager kept a separate spreadsheet for recipe costs and stock counts
- Menu pricing set once a year, rarely revisited even as ingredient costs shifted
- Waste logged inconsistently — some branches didn't track it at all
- Month-end consolidation across 6 branches done by hand by the finance team

Why Basmah Kitchens chose Dobbx
“For the first time, head office can see which dishes actually make money at which branch — not just total sales. We repriced two menu items in month one and it paid for the rollout.”
