For decades, general retailers’ ability to attract significant shopping traffic proved lucrative for neighboring businesses — particularly restaurant brands. However, mass store closures and a major shift toward online retail have pushed grocery to the front of the anchor tenant line. These days, leading restaurant brands rely heavily on grocery development data to pick better locations.

SiteZeus is excited to announce its latest partnership with MOOYAH Burgers, Fries, and Shakes, an international fast-casual franchise brand. While 2020 has been a challenging year for restaurant brands, MOOYAH not only survived the pandemic shutdown but even found itself in a growth phase due to several smart initiatives it rolled out pre-pandemic, including menu innovations and a new restaurant design.

Getting sales projections for a proposed grocery location should take mere minutes. However, accuracy and transparency should not be sacrificed for speed. When brands leverage SiteZeus, they get a highly accurate sales projection within minutes as well as the ability to explore the variables behind every projection. With SiteZeus, brands have a constant, high-level understanding of their model accuracy using the Synergy Power Score, which represents the median accuracy of the overall model. Users can also review the variables positively and negatively affecting their individual projections with the Variable Impact Tool. And additional features such as mobile data, traffic data, and comparable sites equip users to further validate their projections with ease. To see how you can validate sales projections using SiteZeus, watch below:

Calculating revenue potential is a top priority when analyzing proposed grocery locations. In the past, brands used a time-consuming, complex process to understand sales potential. With SiteZeus, users can evaluate the revenue potential for a proposed grocery location faster, easier, and more accurately for a higher ROI on their location-based decisions! Once your brand has a predictive model in SiteZeus, you can run as many projections as you'd like. When you drop a pin on the map, a revenue projection — known as a “Zeustimate” — is immediately calculated. To make the Zeustimate even more accurate, you can update site characteristics (e.g., square footage, building type, number of drive-thrus, etc.) for the proposed location, and the machine learning algorithm will instantly re-evaluate the location's potential. Each Zeustimate is conveniently broken down into different revenue streams for more detailed insights. To see how SiteZeus makes finding and validating new grocery locations easier than ever before, watch the quick demo below:
