Within the broader Château Mukhrani group, restaurant units needed better control over purchasing efficiency. Multiple distributors offered overlapping product ranges, but price changes and purchasing decisions were difficult to track over time.

Key challenges included:

• No centralized way to compare buy-in prices across distributors

• Lack of visibility into price fluctuations or vendor behavior

• Fragmented sales reporting that limited insight into product trends and regional performance

DataStudio implemented a connected Power BI reporting system directly integrated with the client’s SQL database, designed specifically for restaurant management. The dashboards included:

• Sales analytics by product, category, season, and location

• Buy-in price tracking across all active distributors

• Tools for detecting price increases and identifying the most cost-efficient suppliers

• Performance views by individual restaurant locations

• Dynamic filters for operational and strategic analysis

This dual-purpose reporting suite was crafted to assist both on-the-ground decision-makers and executive planners.

The new system gave Château Mukhrani’s restaurant operations:

• Real-time clarity on sales performance and product trends

• A decision-making tool to select the best distributors based on historical pricing

• The ability to flag unusual price increases and act proactively

• Improved purchasing efficiency and cost control

• Better strategic planning grounded in accurate data

What started as a sales dashboard evolved into a critical purchasing intelligence tool, actively supporting profitability and operational agility across the restaurant business.
