In the world of baking, efficiency and precision are key ingredients for success. For Clark Street Bakery, embracing modern technology has been a positive step towards achieving operational excellence. Under the leadership of founder Zack Hall, the bakery has integrated opsi, a restaurant technology platform, into its daily workflow. Less than a year into using opsi, the results have been nothing short of impressive.

Streamlined Recipe Management and Costing

Clark Street Bakery primarily utilizes opsi for recipe management and food costing. Before opsi, Zack and his team relied heavily on spreadsheets to manage recipes, tasks, and prep sheets. This manual approach posed significant challenges, particularly in keeping current with up-to-date pricing. The transition to opsi has streamlined these processes, providing a centralized and efficient way to manage critical information.

Zack highlights the recipe food costs function as particularly invaluable. This feature has allowed Clark Street Bakery to maintain accurate and current costing data, which is essential for pricing and profitability. "We love the accuracy that opsi provides," Zack states, emphasizing the precision and reliability that opsi has brought to their operations.

Time Management and Efficiency Gains

One of the most significant benefits of integrating opsi has been the time saved across various aspects of the bakery’s operations. Zack notes that opsi has had a profound impact on time management, reducing the time required for tasks like writing, editing, and publishing recipes. This efficiency extends to training and onboarding new hires, with a 50% reduction in time compared to traditional pen and paper methods. Similarly, prep time has been cut in half, allowing the team to focus more on their craft and less on administrative tasks.

The response after implementing the opsi platform has been overwhelmingly positive.

Zack acknowledges that while there are similar products available, opsi stood out as the right solution at the right time for Clark Street Bakery. The combination of advanced functionality and exceptional customer service has made opsi an indispensable tool for their operations.
