Waste shows on screen in real time
Waste can be broken down per store and per ingredient, and you can see whether it is missed registrations, actual loss or something else entirely.
Right down to the single avocado
Helping Joe & the Juice scale from 500 to 1000 stores
Building one shared overview of waste, stock and sales
Joe & the Juice set out to put a number on their waste. We brought their data onto one platform that measures it, keeps stock up to date and shows how every store is doing.

01 The challenge
Waste had to become a number per store
- Eight systems to bring onto one platform
- Sales, stock and recipes had to add up
- Usage and waste down to the single ingredient
02 The solution
One platform, in their own environment
- We turn every sale into ingredient use, down to the single avocado
- Dynamics 365 updates stock automatically
- Running in Denmark today
03 The outcome
Annual savings potential in the high millions of DKK
- Stock write-downs calculated automatically
- A daily overview per store
- Ready to scale to 20+ markets
From one bar to a global chain
The situation. Over 500 bars today and a growth plan towards 1,000
Joe & the Juice opened its first bar in Copenhagen in 2002 and grew into a chain of more than 500 bars across 20+ countries. That growth puts new demands on how sales, stock and waste fit together across the chain.
Denmark alone has 74 stores, and each one needs a daily overview of usage and waste. Data from eight systems, from tills and apps to ERP and recipes, has to come together in one data platform that can grow with the chain.

What Joe & the Juice set out to do
The ambition. A foundation sized for how big they'd become
- Keeping up with growth. Build a setup that matches the size Joe & the Juice has grown into and makes them proactive about stock instead of reactive.
- Turning waste into a number. Know exactly how much is wasted, where and why, per store and per ingredient, every day.
- One shared source of truth. Give every store, and the chain as a whole, the same figures, brought together from eight systems in one data platform.
- Automating the manual work. Let sales data update stock on its own, removing manual counting from the day-to-day.
- Building once, scaling to every market. Design a solution that works for the Danish stores today and can carry the rest of the 500+ bars worldwide.
My ambition was to build a foundation that could keep up with the growth and make us proactive about stock usage instead of reactive.
Built in their own environment
The solution. Every source connected and calculated every day
Now every single sales line becomes ingredient use, right down to the single avocado. At full rollout that becomes over 2 million stock postings a month.
What Joe & the Juice got out of it
The outcomeWaste visibleNumbers sharedInventory automated
The 74 stores in Denmark now see their own usage and waste, every single day. The chain steers by the same figures, and stock runs itself. Ready to scale into 20+ markets.
Every store benchmarks against the chain average
Everyone works from the same basis, and the figures are the same whether you sit in a store or at head office.
Built to support more than 500 stores
Inventory updates automatically in Dynamics 365
Sales and usage are counted against stock as they happen, and the next step is forecasting ingredient use.
Without a single manual keystroke
Christian RavenbergHead of Supply ChainJoe & the Juice
»We use enormous volumes of fresh ingredients every single week, and I knew that if we were going to scale from 500-plus to 1,000 stores, we could not keep pulling data manually from a long list of systems and running heavy calculations.
Together with Meiseki we have realised that vision. Meiseki has been the technical partner who could turn my vision into reality, as well as a sparring partner on the business side, and they have taken responsibility all the way from the first workshop to running operations.
The most important thing is that we now have a foundation built for the future. The next step is rolling it out to all our markets and building forecasting of ingredient usage on top. Exactly the kind of scalable infrastructure that has to carry us onward on our growth journey.«
