In an industry of sustainable and thoughtful food service, maintaining precision in recipe management and costing is essential. At Beyond Green Partners, a forward-thinking food consultancy and operations group, opsi has become a cornerstone of that precision. For the past 1.5 years, the team has used opsi to streamline their culinary processes, improve accuracy, and gain valuable time back in their day-to-day operations. With insights from both Nicki and Alexa, key team members at Beyond Green Partners, this case study explores how opsi has elevated their workflow.

From Manual Labor to Culinary Accuracy

Before discovering opsi, Beyond Green Partners relied on XtraCHEF to manage their recipes, tasks, and costing - a solution that came with limitations. Nicki recalls the difficulty: “Inaccurate recipes, inaccurate recipe costs, lots of manual labor.” The need to reformat invoices and receipts just to get accurate costing data created bottlenecks and frustration.

With opsi, that changed. Nicki explains, “We used to have to reformat receipts and invoices in order for the costing information to be picked up accurately. We no longer need to do that with opsi.” This shift from manual input to automated, accurate data capture has freed the team from repetitive tasks and enabled them to focus on what matters most, creating consistent, high-quality food with transparent costing.

A Central Hub for Recipe Management and Costing

For both Nicki and Alexa, the primary reason for adopting opsi was its powerful recipe database and costing features. “Recipe costing and recipe capturing” are the functions Nicki relies on most, while Alexa highlights the ability to “easily find all recipe info in one spot.” The centralized, intuitive design of opsi has made it simple for their team to access exactly what they need, when they need it. Whether it’s for training, scaling, or day-to-day production.

“Opsi has helped us manage recipe costs effectively in an effort to bring down food costs,” says Nicki. “The customer service is stellar and always willing to answer any questions we have. We are very appreciative for opsi and the team behind it.”

Saving Time and Building Confidence

The impact on time management has been one of the most noticeable improvements for the Beyond Green Partners team. Alexa estimates a 75% reduction in onboarding and training time, and a 30% cut in prep time, thanks to the clarity and structure that opsi provides. Nicki also emphasizes the time saved by eliminating the need to manipulate incoming invoice formats for costing.

This time saved translates into something even more valuable.. confidence. “The staff does feel more confident in their execution,” Nicki notes, “which returns itself in the quality of food they are producing.”

Empowering Teams and Improving Retention

Since adopting opsi, both Nicki and Alexa have seen greater freedom in their roles. The ease of use, intuitive interface, and accessible recipe data empower the kitchen team to execute without second-guessing, and ensure that everyone is aligned around the same information.

When asked about employee retention, Alexa confirms that there has been a noticeable increase since implementing opsi. Even for a team that already had strong retention, the added structure, clarity, and reduced guesswork that opsi brings have made a measurable difference.

A Standout Product with a Standout Team

Opsi has proven itself as a tool built specifically for the culinary industry. “I’m really not aware of many like opsi,” says Nicki. “XtraCHEF is the only one that comes to mind but in my opinion isn’t comparable.”

Both Nicki and Alexa point to opsi’s willingness to listen to feedback and improve continuously. “They are always open to feedback and often improving the app with helpful updates,” Alexa shares. That ongoing commitment to innovation and support has been a key differentiator for the Beyond Green Partners team.

Conclusion: Simpler Systems, Better Results

For Beyond Green Partners, opsi has been more than just a software tool - it’s been a true partner in their mission to deliver cost-effective, consistent, and sustainable food. The accuracy, time savings, and improved confidence across the team have all contributed to a more efficient and enjoyable operation.

As Alexa puts it, “Opsi has been very easy and enjoyable to use for recipe management & analysis.” And Nicki adds, “We are very appreciative for opsi and the team behind it.”
