A-Z Barbecue's story

A-Z Barbecue started when in 1986, Jack Willems decided a future in the family farm business was not for him. Instead, he pursued to learn the Butcher's trade and slowly but surely built a local catering business for himself.

Looking for new catering jobs, Wil decided to advertise in weekly magazines and picked a company name that would always put him on top of the alphabetical orders in those magazine; A-Z Barbecue was born.

Today, the company has online stores in multiple countries, annually serves more than 500k people with their barbecue services and runs it’s complete supply chain in-house from Kronenberg in the Netherlands. Jelle, Wil’s son, has been working in the family business since his childhood and has fulfilled nearly every role possible. Currently, Jelle is on a mission to fulfill his childhood dream of building out the company his father started.

Challenges

  • Relying on external performance reports
    With a small and specialised in-house marketing team, A-Z Barbecue was relying on freelancers and agencies to report on marketing performance
  • Inconsistent revenue attribution
    The different marketing platforms A-Z Barbecue advertises on each claim revenue which does not add up to the revenue actually generated in the stores
  • Spending time connecting the dots
    On a daily basis, Jelle and his team were spending valuable time looking at data in different tools and connecting the dots of their business
