The Problem
SBONet has the data. Every Wendy's operator has it.
Nobody's turning it into action.
📊
SBONet reports tell you what. Not what to do.
Your DM exports a spreadsheet on Friday. It shows SOS at 340s. It doesn't tell your GM to add a window person at 11:30am today. That gap is where money leaks.
🤷
Your GMs hear "your SOS is high" every week.
"SOS is high" is not a directive. They need: walk your drive-thru at 11:30am. You need 2 at the window during lunch. Check your void rate — if it's over 2%, you have an accuracy problem.
📉
Problems compound for 6–8 weeks before you see them
SOS slipping 10 seconds a week. Labor creeping 0.5 points. By the time it shows up in your P&L, it's already cost you $30K — and your DM had no alert, no action, no accountability.

The Cost of Inaction
What it's actually costing you
$400K/yr
Excess Labor Costs
A 20-store operator running just 2% over labor budget. That's one scheduling conversation per store, never happening.
$180K/yr
Lost Drive-Thru Revenue
One store running SOS at 400s vs. 250s loses ~4 cars/hour during peak. Compounded across all locations, the number is staggering.
$360K/yr
Inventory Walking Out
1.5% inventory variance on net sales across 20 stores. Food cost creep no one is measuring weekly — until margin collapses.
The typical 20-store operator leaves $500K–$1M on the table annually.
Topline finds it. Every week. Automatically.
