Franchisee & Multi-Site Operators

See What Our Clients Say

Owner of 160 Quick Serve Restaurants including Burger King, Jimmy John’s, KFC, and IHOP

“It made more sense to outsource expertise to SIB so that we could focus on our investments, growing the company, and driving EBITDA while they (SIB) secured long-term saving improvements for us in the expense categories with inefficiencies.”

Michael Mulcahy

Partner, MBN Brands

“…SIB found thousands of savings by reducing our banking fees…They were easy to work with and they respected our preference to retain services with our current vendors…We will recommend them to other quick serve restaurant franchisees in the future.”

Ragan Cain

Treasurer

“We learned about SIB through the Hardee’s Franchisee Association. We are very selective about whom we work with and we were determined not to make major changes just for the sake of saving money. SIB understood and pursued very measured, sensible recommendations that would serve our operational service needs entirely…their services are a great fit for the QSR (quick serve restaurant) industry.”

Michael H. Hancock
