How a Little Caesars Franchisee Manages 180 Locations Across 4 Countries Efficiently with Leasecake
Background
PCSAPI, a franchise operator for Little Caesars, had a vision: to bring the iconic pizza brand to Latin America on a grand scale, and today manages over 180 locations across Northeast Mexico, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Colombia. Valeria Villarreal Garza, PCSAPI’s Manager in Property Administration and Management, knew that with each new location, the stakes grew higher, and the need for efficient, scalable lease and location management became paramount.
Challenges
As PCSAPI expanded, they quickly encountered the limits of their existing management tools. Tracking leases, managing relationships with multiple landlords, and coordinating with legal teams across four countries became increasingly cumbersome. The reliance on Excel spreadsheets, once sufficient for a smaller operation, proved inadequate in the face of PCSAPI’s rapid growth. The data became difficult to manage, and the risk of errors or missed opportunities loomed large. Valeria knew that continuing with these outdated methods would eventually hinder their expansion goals. PCSAPI needed a more advanced solution to manage their growing real estate portfolio efficiently and effectively.
