Guided Tour

Homer Food Group, founded in 2017 by a young and dynamic team, aims to grow rapidly and efficiently. To achieve their goals, the start-up seeks collaboration with partners that enable it to move quickly and cover great distances.

What is the medium-term project for Homer Food Group? Adèle Lonjou, Director of Homer Food Group, shares that they plan to open between 10 and 20 new restaurants within the next five years in France and abroad, particularly in Dubai, London, and the United States.

The team is well aware of the challenges and is committed to providing high-quality service 24/7. However, multitasking and participating in the development of Homer Food Group is a real challenge.

They are prepared to tackle this challenge with the support of their partners SumUp and Deliverect.

New York Street Food Takes Center Stage

Homer Food Group

Founded in 2017 by World Lobster Roll Champion Moïse Sfez and led by Adèle Lonjou since its inception, Homer Food Group includes Homer Lobster and Janet by Homer restaurants. Nine restaurants have opened in France, with six in Paris and others in Marseille, Saint-Tropez, and Lille.

Homer Lobster offers lobster rolls, a famous East Coast United States lobster sandwich. Customers can enjoy a variety of recipes served on brioche bread, evoking nostalgic memories.

Based on a different concept, Janet by Homer focuses on the Corned Beef Sandwich. Moïse Sfez has taken on the challenge of reinventing this iconic New York street food dish, always accompanied by his signature brioche, which connects the two concepts within the Homer Food Group.

The Need for Efficiency and Speed

Deliverect x SumUp

The initial challenges the Homer Food Group's restaurants faced involved delivery and order-taking. The Homer team faced frequent data entry, accounting errors, and concerns about lost goods due to poor inventory management.

Striking a balance between having sufficient stock and overstocking is a daily stress. Insufficient stock leads to customer dissatisfaction, while a loss of goods directly affects revenue.

This young and dynamic team was eager to grow. They sought solutions tailored to their needs and sales methods. The fast-growing start-up aspires to achieve sustainable growth with partners. The management team recognizes the importance of working with reliable partners to expand internationally.

Fast and Efficient Solutions to Keep Pace with the Homer Food Group

To achieve its goals and overcome challenges, the Homer Food Group has found agile solutions in SumUp and Deliverect.

Deliverect: A Time and Money-Saving Partner

Over the past year, Homer Food Group has turned to Deliverect to boost efficiency and speed, two critical factors in the group's growth and development.

Deliverect is a technological tool that integrates various ordering platforms directly into a restaurant's Point-of-Sale (POS) system. Each order is automatically sent to a single screen, reducing data entry errors. Deliverect also improves time and inventory management, mainly through its automatic synchronization system, which updates inventory in real-time and allows restaurant owners to modify their menus only once for all platforms.

This solution has helped the group refine its operational approach, automating the online ordering process and eliminating daily issues. Deliverect removes the need to re-enter orders placed online or on delivery platforms, streamlines communication with accounting, and reduces order errors in the field. The solution saves time daily.

Collaborating with Deliverect has also enabled Homer Food Group better to manage its inventory through the inventory tracking feature. This functionality dramatically assists the teams in their daily operations.

Deliverect offers several advantages:

It enables automatic, real-time inventory adjustments, reducing the risk of overselling or underselling.
It saves considerable time, allowing teams to focus on more critical tasks.
It optimizes the supply chain, positively impacting both employees and customers.

Overall, Adele Lonjou believes her business is more reliable and no longer has to worry about inventory management.

SumUp: A Long-Standing Partner

Homer Food Group and SumUp have been partners since day one. SumUp offers a payment terminal that connects via Bluetooth and operates through the eponymous application. The management team at Homer Food Group immediately appreciated this fast and efficient payment solution, which plays a significant role in their daily sales method.

SumUp is a tool that promotes efficiency, speed, and profitability. It is an all-in-one cash register featuring a payment terminal and a tablet for order support. SumUp also provides an application for managing transactions, issuing receipts, and tracking sales in real time.

The Many Advantages of SumUp

It offers a portable payment terminal with Wi-Fi or an integrated mobile data system.

Its operating system is simple, intuitive, and highly efficient. The Pro Cashier System also provides access to advanced data and reports, enabling loyalty programs and multiple orders to be processed simultaneously. Restaurant owners benefit from real-time sales tracking and revenue monitoring functionality.

New Technologies at the Heart of the Customer Experience

Embracing solutions like SumUp and Deliverect has allowed Homer Food Group restaurants to gather crucial customer data. This data, supplied by Deliverect and SumUp, enables real-time analytics, leading to increased efficiency and profitability.

The information provided through the sales tracking functionality is also essential. It helps identify current trends, best-selling dishes, and those struggling, allowing for better adaptation of sales strategies.

Implementing such tools and collecting customer data directly impacts customer satisfaction. Each restaurant can be more responsive to its customer's needs, providing fast and efficient service while reducing the risk of errors.

Adèle Lonjou, Director of Homer Food Group

"(SumUp) It's a company that has adapted to our needs from day one. Fast and efficient, that's what we rely on, both in our sales method and how we enter all the information."
