Cali BBQ is a barbecue business in San Diego. It has more than one site. The team debated Sunday hours. They used to open at 10 AM for football Sundays. They had moved to 11 AM. They thought about moving back for breakfast trade. The owner asked Toast IQ instead of building spreadsheets. The tool read past Sunday data across sites in under a minute. It set past labor cost against the likely morning sales gap. It advised against the extra hour. The team kept the 11 AM open.
How it wentKeeping the later open saved $4,000 in labor cost that was not needed. The figure is the owner's own report. It is a cost he avoided, not new revenue. The savings claim covers an 18-week period of acting on the tool's advice.
