Beef 'o'brady's, Brass Tap Select Synergy Suite For Restaurant Management Software

Franchise Information for Successful Business Ownership

FSC Franchise Co., owner and franchisor of Beef 'O' Brady's family sports pub and The Brass Tap craft beer bar, selected SynergySuite as the restaurant management solution for its growing brands.

The growth both brands have seen in the last two years made the need for a single back office system clear. The company had previously been relying on point solutions to manage operations but needed to move to an integrated platform capable of scaling with growth. SynergySuite was recommended as an end-to-end restaurant management solution by Toast restaurant POS.

"Having all of our back-of-house processes in a single place is the next step in the growth of these brands," said Scott SirLouis, COO of FSC Franchise Co. "Our franchises have extensive menus, and SynergySuite is helping provide better visibility into our inventory and purchasing across more than 220 locations. We're also excited about how this partnership will support our growth by making operations processes more efficient."

Beef 'O'Brady's and Brass Tap will be using SynergySuite to keep more accurate inventory, manage purchasing, control supplier pricing, track employee time and attendance, streamline operations processes, and have more holistic, accurate reports.

"Optimizing processes is critical to growth. It's easy for small things that impact profitability to be overlooked when trying to integrate multiple systems," said Greg Staley, SynergySuite CRO. "We're happy FSC chose to partner with us to provide a unified restaurant management platform to maintain control over operations as they continue to grow Beef 'O'Brady's and Brass Tap."

Implementation began August 1, and SynergySuite will begin rolling out across both brands this fall.
