New STEP master data management system to streamline business process for food & drink product information and improve Mitchells & Butlers’ business agility

UK operator of restaurants and pubs, Mitchells & Butlers, has selected the STEP master data platform from Stibo Systems to help improve its product information management for ingredients, suppliers, recipes and menus across its range of industry leading brands including Toby Carvery, Harvester and Vintage Inns.

Data consolidation strategy

The implementation of STEP will underpin Mitchells & Butlers’ drive to develop its processes, systems and data quality in order to be able to make the best decisions regarding menus and drinks ranges, and to be more agile, rapid and responsive in going to market. STEP will support the restaurant menu change cycle, the onboarding of products from the supply chain association GS1UK’s data pool, as well as the development process for new recipes and menus.

With STEP acting as the central master data management (MDM) hub for numerous other applications in the Mitchells & Butlers landscape, the restaurant and pub company is also aiming to significantly reduce duplication and errors in data maintenance.

Mike Sackman, IT director of Mitchells & Butlers, commented: “We put a number of vendors through a formal selection process and determined that Stibo Systems could best meet our MDM needs both now and in the future.”
