The Borgata Hotel & Casino is a 2,000 room luxury casino just off the boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey. With over 25 food and beverage operations in the building, The Borgata offers a diverse mix of bars, room service, pools and full-service fine dining locations, and they needed Avero‘s help in streamlining these operations.
RoseAnn Gotta, chef for over 30 years and an expert in the Atlantic City market for over 26 years, joined the Borgata team in the busy summer months of 2013. When the property was busy they were maintaining food costs around their budget of 31%, but as the busy season slowed down food costs rose as high as 36%. RoseAnn knew they needed to get food costs under control, and she’d heard her team mention a tool they had to help with ordering, prepping and menu insights, but had not yet been introduced to it.
A co-worker on property got RoseAnn set up with access to Avero’s cloud-based restaurant software and showed her a few of the core solutions, including item sales and communications. RoseAnn quickly saw the power of Avero and knew it could help her tackle her goals of optimizing food costs, so she got to work on putting a plan in place. Just four months after her start date, RoseAnn and her team helped reduce food costs by over 4%. She even got food costs below the budgeted range of 31% to 30% for a couple of months, all thanks to Avero.
