are heavy users of BI software.
- They use BI to make strategic decisions, such as what
new products to add to their menus, which dishes to
remove and which underperforming stores to close.
- They also use BI for tactical matters such as renegotiating
contracts with food suppliers and identifying
opportunities to improve inefficient processes.
- Because restaurant chains are so
operations-driven, and because BI is so
central to helping them run their businesses
