THE CHALLENGE
R&K Subs, a Central Pennsylvania-based sub sandwich company, supports schools, nonprofits, and businesses through fundraising and catering services. Despite producing hundreds to thousands of sandwiches daily, their operations were constrained by a fully manual system—handwritten invoices, Excel-based tracking, and phone orders. The lack of digital infrastructure forced the owners to work nights and weekends just to keep up, leaving no capacity for growth. They needed a custom-built solution to streamline operations, automate billing, and support large-scale order and production management while enabling future scalability.
WHAT WE DID
Over several phases, Sharp Innovations transformed R&K Subs’ business systems. Starting with a new website and custom CMS, we added online fundraising order forms. This evolved into a full ERP system with modules for product, order, and production management. Later phases introduced a customer portal for fundraising clients and store production tools for daily delivery tracking. Each phase built on the last to create a fully integrated digital workflow.
THE RESULT
With automation in place, R&K Subs reclaimed 50 hours of management time per week and saved 2,500 labor hours annually—equating to $75,000–$100,000 in payroll savings. Production capacity and revenue both increased by 10–15%. Manual processes were eliminated, operational bottlenecks reduced, and staff were able to focus on growth, not paperwork. The system continues to evolve with planned online payment and fundraising portals.
