Four ways to engage. Every one built for Sonic franchise groups.

Choose the engagement that fits your organization's most pressing priorities — or start with one and expand as the value becomes clear.

Food Cost CCP Management

Focused, monthly analysis of the critical control points that drive the majority of food cost variance — built on the counting process you already have in place. We identify the high-cost items, assess current variances, quantify savings targets, and provide implementation recommendations.

Monthly · Remote

Financial Analytics Suite

Three monthly analyst services delivered together as a single integrated engagement — covering the cash, theft, and financial visibility gaps that quietly erode profitability in any multi-unit franchise operation.

THEFT LOSS TRACKING Consistent review of POS exception data and timesheet records to identify patterns, quantify risk, and create meaningful deterrence through visible oversight

CASH CONTROL Monthly review of cash short/long positions, cash paid outs, and reconciliation data — turning the reporting Sonic already provides into real accountability

P&L DEEP-DIVE Line-by-line monthly review of your financials through an operational lens — catching miscoded entries, duplicate charges, vendor invoice errors, and labor inaccuracies that your accountant isn't designed to find

Monthly · Remote · Three Services

Menu Pricing Analysis

Full-cycle pricing support across both annual Sonic pricing windows — competitive surveys, item-level analysis, cascading combo and channel impact review, and real-time decision support before menus are printed.

Twice Yearly · In-Window Support · Between-Window Monitoring

Curbside Mentorship

A structured leadership mentor program that builds pipeline, retains great managers, and turns your best leaders into developers of others — delivered through monthly one-on-one sessions at every level of the organization.

No New Equipment Required

We work inside the tools you already use.

Nothing new to install, nothing to change about how your team operates today — and you stay in full control of your data at every step.

Remote, By Design

Every service is delivered remotely through your existing systems — Sonic's reporting platforms, your inventory program, and your standardized P&L format.

You Stay In Control

Access is limited to reporting-level visibility, granted and controlled entirely by you — the same kind of view a bookkeeper or corporate office would have.

A Report You'll Actually Read

Each month, leadership receives a concise summary covering performance insights, risks identified, and clear follow-up priorities — no buried spreadsheets.

About Jake DiJulio

Thirty years in the system. Every level of it.

Jake DiJulio

FOUNDER, CURBSIDE ANALYTICS

I started as a cook at a Sonic location in San Angelo, Texas, while in college — and worked my way through nearly every position in the store. From there I moved through Crew Leader and Assistant Manager before becoming General Manager and Managing Partner of a Sonic location in Stephenville, Texas, where I was recognized as one of the top-performing stores in our franchise group for food cost and overall profitability.

That performance opened the door to a Supervisor role and eventually Director of Operations over a 48-location group. During that time I also served a full term on the Sonic Franchise Advisory Council, representing operator interests at the brand level.

I founded Curbside Analytics to bring that experience directly to Sonic franchise groups — every service we offer is built on three decades of doing the job, not studying it.
