From spreadsheet to searchable catalog — Maria's Bakery, 18 months.
Maria Delgado runs a 48-seat Mexican kitchen in Jax Beach with a 60%-takeout business. Fragmented supply across three vendors was bleeding margin. SDC consolidated her to 11 SKUs, cut her bill 22%, and caught a sizing mismatch that had been wasting ~400 soup cups a week.
Three vendors, 34 SKUs, and a lid that didn't fit.
Maria inherited a fragmented supply list when she took over the lease in 2024. Three distributors, overlapping SKUs, and worst of all — a 16oz soup cup from one vendor that technically fit a lid from another, but leaked at the seal. She was losing ~400 lids a week to the tape trick the line staff used to patch it, and none of her vendors cared enough to fix it.
On top of that, she was spending about 3 hours a week reconciling invoices across vendors, dealing with three different minimums, and chasing down back-ordered items with zero visibility into lead times. It was working, barely — but not scaling.
Consolidated, standardized, stocked deeper.
We audited her supply list in one 45-minute walkthrough. Consolidated 34 SKUs to 11, all on one weekly delivery. Replaced the mismatched cup/lid with SDC-CUP-16K + SDC-LID-16F, which seal at the rim. Added 2 weeks of safety stock on the fast-movers, held at our Atlantic Beach warehouse — so she can call at 9am and have it by 3pm.
Jose walked the kitchen, watched service for 20 minutes, and caught two more SKU redundancies she hadn't noticed herself. Same materials, different branded SKUs from different vendors — identical product, double the SKU overhead.
22% cheaper, half the vendors, zero tape.
One delivery a week instead of three. A 22% cut to her packaging line-item. 400 cups a week that used to be taped-shut now ship clean. Maria moved her full takeout program onto SDC and referred three other Jax Beach restaurants in her first quarter — including Riverside Ramen, who saved 18% on their eco-container switch.
"Jose walked in, looked at my supply closet for 10 minutes, and fixed a problem I'd been living with for two years. I didn't even know it was fixable." — Maria Delgado, La Cocina de Maria
