IBM announced The Cheesecake Factory, with more than 175 restaurant locations across the United States and three licensed locations in the Middle East, is using IBM Big Data analytics to help deliver the highest quality experience to its guests.
Serving more than 80 million guests each year, with 200 menu items made fresh in each of its restaurants, The Cheesecake Factory deals with large volumes and variety of data on a daily basis generated by its complex, global food supply chain.
This includes information ranging from transportation of food at the right temperature to information on product withdrawals and shelf life of food items. Using IBM Big Data analytics, The Cheesecake Factory has the ability to quickly alert restaurant locations to remove any ingredient that does not meet its high standards for quality and consistency, or in the event of a product withdrawal.
