Chop Stop was founded with a simple yet powerful mission: to provide fresh, healthy, and delicious meals in a fast-casual setting. Known for their signature chopped salads, wraps, rice and bean bowls, and soups, Chop Stop caters to health-conscious consumers looking for high-quality, locally sourced ingredients at an affordable price. As the company expanded from a few locations into a growing franchise, managing financial and operational data across multiple stores became increasingly difficult. To maintain consistency and efficiency, Chop Stop needed a smarter solution to streamline operations and support franchisees.
As Chop Stop grew from five locations into franchise operations, manually tracking financial and operational data became a major roadblock to efficiency. Vice President of Operations Joey Gonzalez found himself spending hours each day manually entering reports into Excel, taking valuable time away from training new franchisees and refining business processes. To keep up with rapid expansion, Chop Stop needed a system that could automate data entry and provide real-time insights.
To overcome these challenges and ensure franchise success, Chop Stop turned to Restaurant365 for an integrated restaurant management solution.
Chop Stop turned to Restaurant365’s suite of tools. From Inventory and Purchasing and Workforce Management, Restaurant365 had integrated systems that could ensure consistency across all franchised locations. With Restaurant365 in place, managers and shift leaders could easily access reports with a single click, giving them the insights needed to optimize performance.
Our goal is to make the franchisee’s job as easy as possible. Using Restaurant365 ensures that we are all operating in the same way and that we are able to help them be successful.

By automating financial reporting and providing real-time visibility into operations, Restaurant365 transformed the way Chop Stop managed its business. With Restaurant365, managers and shift leaders could now analyze P&L reports, food costs, labor trends, and sales performance in real time, eliminating the need for manual data entry. This improvement allowed leadership to focus on improving operations, margins, and the overall guest experience.
The impact on efficiency was immediate. Instead of spending 3-4 hours a day compiling reports, Gonzalez could now access performance data anytime, from any device. This newfound efficiency gave the leadership team more time to train franchisees, refine operational procedures, and expand the business. Additionally, the system made it easier for new franchisees—many without prior restaurant experience—to understand the financial aspects of running a successful location.
Restaurant365 changed my job. Now, instead of manually entering data, I can instantly see how our restaurants are performing and spend my time on what truly matters—helping our franchisees succeed
