Tender Greens – Revolutionary Restaurant Slashes Accounting Overhead 20% Amidst 90% Growth

Since 2006, Tender Greens has been a pioneer in the hospitality industry, firmly securing its place as a go-to fine-casual dining restaurant. And the multi-unit restaurant chain offers more than just a meal. Its mission-focused practices include creating relaxed, eco-friendly dining spaces, making sustainable choices for fresh, locally grown food, and operating a culinary internship program for young adults coming out of foster care. Recently, the company set an ambitious goal to reach $100 million in revenue by doubling its number of restaurant locations every few years.

As Tender Greens prepared for this rapid growth, its finance team knew they needed to replace the legacy, on-premises accounting software that was slowing them down. They went in search of a new financial management solution that could deliver greater visibility into performance across twelve locations, seamless integration with other applications, and more efficient financial processes. After settling on Sage Intacct and optimizing their configuration of the cloud-based system, Tender Greens automated several repetitive tasks, uncovered new insights into operations, and reduced accounting overhead by over 20%—all while the business added fifteen new restaurants.
