Agliolio, a polished-casual Italian restaurant with three Florida locations, understands that brand consistency is critical—especially when it comes to ingredients, packaging, and customer experience.
Before NxtEdge, each location had too much freedom when it came to ordering. Managers could choose any item from their vendor’s order guide, often leading to inconsistent product choices across locations. One kitchen might receive a different marinara base or portioned protein than the others, and even to-go boxes varied—affecting both quality and customer perception.
That changed when Agliolio implemented the Vendor Price Comparison module from NxtEdge.
Now, with all products centralized and standardized across locations, Agliolio ensures every dish tastes the same, looks the same, and costs the same—no matter which store prepares it. Managers can easily see which vendor offers the best price for each item, and the system automatically compares products based on pack, size, and unit.
The results?
Agliolio has reduced its purchasing costs by 11% and gained full control over its food costs—all without disrupting its vendor relationships.
“Vendor Price Comparison is one of the tools that helps us control food cost,” said the operations team. “It’s also how we keep our brand experience consistent, location to location.”
