Kerbey Lane Cafe announced two initiatives at the end of September that aim to further provide for employees, a press release said. The seven-restaurant chain implemented Austin-based restaurant management solution Compeat to fully integrate its previously broken processes, leading to a 1.5 percent cut in costs in six months, the release said, adding Kerbey Lane also created an “open book management” system that educates every employee on the company’s financials.

Kerbey Lane Cafe-Westlake is located at 701 S. Capital of Texas Hwy., Austin. 512-879-2820. www.kerbeylanecafe.com
