CA One Services Properties Save Time and Money With AccuBar Inventory Systems

HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo.--CA One Services, one of the world's leading airport food service and retail providers, after a pilot program that showed substantial labor savings and other benefits, has chosen AccuBar inventory systems to manage its food and beverage operations in seven major airport locations.

The pilot program at Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport yielded great results. According to CA One Services General Manager at Ft Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport, Brian Bowdish, "The inventory team reduced it's time of taking physical inventory at least three hours per week. Weekly data input has been reduced from up to eight hours to five minutes." He added, "The staff has a greater confidence in cost reports. AccuBar is a great addition to our system."

CA One has continued the rollout with installations at Denver International Airport and Newark International Airport. Also scheduled for install are airports in Los Angeles; New Orleans; Austin, Texas; and Oakland, Calif.

AccuBar is an industry leader in providing systems to control food and beverage costs through physical inventory. Using a Palm Pilot with a barcode scanner and sophisticated database software, AccuBar streamlines the tedious inventory process and offers timely data on costs, consumption, losses and other important benchmarks.

AccuBar, based in Highlands Ranch, Colo., has several hundred customers across the U.S., including many well-known hotels, nightclubs, restaurants and country clubs. The system was introduced in 2001 after its developers set out to satisfy the pervasive cost-control problems facing the hospitality industry. With extensive hospitality management experience to call on, the development team realized the need for an inventory system that is fast and simple to use, and the absence of such a system in the industry. "People in this business deal with losses in the range of 28%, and they accept them as a part of doing business. But those losses can be reduced," said Dave Grimm, AccuBar's communications director. "AccuBar gives them a fast, simple process that helps them bring that number down to a less painful level."

CA One Services, a subsidiary of Delaware North Companies, is one of the nation's leading airport foodservice and retail companies, operating 300 restaurants and retail outlets in more than 25 airports across the United States, serving more than 350 million customers each year. The "Uncommon Courtesy" customer-service training program ensures that all CA One associates follow the company's vision of "Providing Care and Comfort to People Away from Home".
