Artisan Slice (Bangalore, Mysore, Mangalore)

Artisan Slice operates three pizzerias focused on sourdough Neapolitan-style pizzas. The central commissary produces dough balls for all locations, transported daily. Brand known for quality but struggling with consistency across outlets.

Challenges faced before RanceLab

• Recipe execution varied between locations—customer complaints about inconsistency
• No visibility into location-wise profitability—unclear which outlet was underperforming
• Delivery economics mystery—commissions tracked monthly, not per order or per outlet
• Dough production at the commissary is based on gut feel—frequent shortages or surplus

Solution implemented by RanceLab

• Centralised recipe management with photo-based plating standards enforced across all kitchens
• Multi-location dashboard with outlet-wise P&L and performance comparison
• Delivery commission and net profitability tracking by outlet and pizza type
• Commissary production planning based on aggregated demand forecasting from all outlets

Measurable outcomes achieved

• Recipe consistency score improved from 71% to 96% based on mystery shopper audits
• Identified Mangalore outlet losing ₹1.2L monthly due to poor delivery zone economics—pricing adjusted
• Commissary dough waste reduced by 48% through demand aggregation and forecasting
• Delivery profitability revealed that small pizzas were unprofitable on aggregators after the minimum order value was introduced
• Overall group profitability improved by ₹2.8L monthly
