How Rosnet Helped Jinya Ramen Standardize Operations and Improve Efficiency
The Challenge
Doherty Enterprises operates multiple restaurant brands, both franchised and proprietary, and has relied on Rosnet for years to manage reporting, food costs, labor, and accounting. When the company became a franchisee of Jinya Ramen Bar, they faced a unique challenge: Jinya, as a newer brand, did not yet have a food management system in place.
“As a multi-brand operator, consistency in our processes is crucial,” said Melissa MacDonnell, Rosnet Administrator for Jinya Ramen at Doherty Enterprises. “We wanted to continue using Rosnet’s solutions to maintain the same high level of oversight and efficiency across all of our brands. Implementing Rosnet at Jinya Ramen was also the first time the brand had any franchisee introduce theoretical food cost tracking.”
Solution
Doherty Enterprises worked closely with Rosnet to ensure a smooth implementation at Jinya Ramen.
- Collaborative Planning: The process began with an in-depth consultation where the teams aligned on goals, setup requirements, and cost structure per location.
- Dedicated Project Management: Rosnet assigned a project manager who met with the team weekly, provided clear implementation timelines, and handled much of the heavy lifting in configuring users, recipes, inventory sheets, and reporting.
- Comprehensive Training & Support: Rosnet conducted live training sessions for administrators, operators, and leadership while offering 24/7 support and an extensive library of online resources.
- Custom Integration: Rosnet built tailored data exports to streamline accounting, treasury, payroll, accounts payable, and human resources functions, improving accuracy and efficiency.
“One of the great things about Rosnet is that they work at the pace you need and provide a lot of individualized attention,” MacDonnell said. “They don’t just hand you the software and expect you to figure it out. Their team walks you through every step, making sure everything is set up for success.”
Results
By implementing Rosnet, Jinya Ramen has achieved measurable improvements in efficiency and financial performance:
- Better Cost Control: “Rosnet’s tools help us identify opportunities to optimize food and labor costs, which ultimately improves profitability.”
- Increased Operational Efficiency: “With Rosnet’s custom exports and integrations, we’ve streamlined our financial processes, saving time and reducing manual errors.”
- Stronger Decision-Making: “Rosnet provides valuable insights that help us communicate better with staff, evaluate marketing campaigns, and make data-driven decisions.”
- Seamless Brand Standardization: “Rosnet has allowed us to integrate Jinya Ramen into our existing operational framework, maintaining consistency across all our brands.”
