Scaling Operational Precision Across 65,000 Employees
With $4.4B in annual revenue and over 65,000 employees, Brinker International—parent to restaurant giants like Chili’s and Maggiano’s—faced growing operational complexity. Disparate legacy ERP systems like Infinium, JD Edwards, and PeopleSoft hindered agility and access to insights across store operations and restaurant support centers. To prepare for long-term scale and streamline operations, Brinker partnered with R-Cubed Consulting to implement a unified Oracle Fusion Cloud platform across HCM, ERP, EPM, and SCM functions.
Strategic Partnership Drives Seamless Transformation
R-Cubed’s early and hands-on involvement proved critical. Brinker set out to modernize enterprise applications, consolidate systems, and enhance employee self-service. Through the implementation of Oracle Fusion Cloud, R-Cubed enabled Brinker to achieve timely, accurate payroll, improve systemic financial controls, and automate high-volume transaction processes. Executive leadership underscored R-Cubed’s value in guiding mission-critical stages of deployment, highlighting their objectivity, professionalism, and ability to move quickly and collaboratively.
Operational Uplift and Visibility Across the Business
The transformation produced immediate, measurable results: a 25% reduction in period close time, near-real-time onboarding and talent management, and improved governance across financial and business processes. Importantly, Brinker eliminated technical debt from aging systems, gaining modern leadership visibility into analytics that now drive better, faster decision-making at every level of the organization.
“R-Cubed’s ability to rapidly partner with us was a decisive factor in the successful progression of our ERP implementation. I highly recommend R-Cubed to any organization seeking expert guidance in mission-critical implementation.”
