WKS Restaurant Group, which operates five different restaurant brands across 400 locations, faced the challenge of managing data from disparate sources due to the different operational metrics of each brand. The company needed a solution that could integrate data from various legacy technologies and make it usable for business leaders to understand the commonalities and differences in the business. The company also needed to track its sales and revenue across each brand, regional district, and location. Additionally, WKS wanted to improve its visibility into its costs, such as repair and maintenance budgets, and track the speed and uptime of its internet at each of its locations.

WKS Restaurant Group implemented Domo's BI & Analytics product to collect all its data from across every brand and location, including data from point of sale systems, HR platforms, accounting systems, and customer sentiment measurements. The company worked with business intelligence consultancy MERGE to craft a data visualization strategy, link data sources, and create visualizations, accelerating WKS’ time to value. Personalized data permissions ensure users can only access the data they’re supposed to, ensuring data security while keeping managers from getting overwhelmed by data from other brands. WKS also uses Domo to analyze its turnover data and identified an opportunity to create a new retention program targeting employees within their first 90 days of employment.
