A family business, multiple brands, one shared vision
"Happy Snacks is a parent company that manages several companies underneath it, we have two companies running franchises in Luxembourg, one is Pizza Hut and one is EXKi." - Alexandre Scholer, CEO, Happy Snacks S.A.
Alexandre Scholer grew up in the company his grandfather founded. Today he is CEO of Happy Snacks, a holding company established in 1968 that oversees several entities, including Pizza Hut and EXKi franchises in Luxembourg. Three generations, a solid family model, and growing operational complexity: multiple restaurants, multiple data streams, multiple teams to keep in sync.
Behind this multi-brand structure lies a real management challenge: consolidating financial data, overseeing POS systems across several restaurants, and delivering a consistent online ordering experience all while staying agile in an industry where every minute counts.
Real results: running his restaurants from his phone
Since the full Odoo implementation with Captivea, Alexandre Scholer has complete, real-time visibility over his group's activity from any device, anywhere.
"If I wanted to right now, I could pull out my phone, open the Odoo app, go into any of my restaurants, sit here and take an order directly." - Alexandre Scholer, CEO, Happy Snacks S.A.
This level of mobility has a real impact on day-to-day leadership. Consolidated revenue across all restaurants is accessible at any time, by location and by period. No more jumping between disconnected systems: accounting, invoicing, purchasing, inventory management and financial reporting are now centralized in a single environment.
"Odoo can do everything we need for our business now. I can see at any moment what the revenue is, when it came in, across all my restaurants, everything is doable." - Alexandre Scholer, CEO, Happy Snacks S.A.
A project taken over, a trust to build
Happy Snacks was already on Odoo when Captivea Luxembourg took over the project, a year and a half ago. The goal was clear: not to start from scratch, but to pick up an existing database, migrate it to a dedicated server, and then optimize it to meet the company's real needs.
"We took over the Happy Snacks and Pizza Hut project from another Odoo integrator. We started by taking the database and migrating it to a dedicated Odoo server, then we optimized POS management, helped on various pending items including financial reporting, and most recently finalized the launch of the Pizza Hut website with online ordering."- Oussama Bougria, Project Manager and Odoo consultant, Captivea Luxembourg
What sets Captivea apart on this project: the ability to bring two complementary areas of expertise to the same client.
ERP + web: two Captivea teams, one cohesive project
Captivea Luxembourg engaged two of its four practice areas on this project: the ERP department and the web department.
Oussama Bougria, Project Manager and Odoo consultant, Captivea Luxembourg explains:
"At Captivea, we have four different departments: ERP, web, AI, and BI. On this project, two departments were involved: the ERP side handled POS optimization and financial reporting, and the web side built the online ordering site for Pizza Hut."
The modules deployed cover all of the group's operations: accounting, invoicing, documents, sales, inventory, manufacturing, purchase, and approvals on the ERP side complemented by the website module for Pizza Hut's online ordering, developed as a full web project in its own right.
Managing multiple brands with distinct operational flows? That's exactly the kind of complexity where a multi-department approach makes the difference.
The starting point: an existing platform to optimize
When Captivea, Odoo Gold Partner in Luxembourg took over the account, Happy Snacks already had an Odoo environment in place but several workstreams were still pending: POS optimization, financial reporting, and online ordering. The decision to switch integrators marked a turning point, and choosing Captivea was an opportunity to deliver what the project hadn't yet completed.
Alexandre Scholer also highlights how much Odoo itself has evolved over that period:
When I look back at when we made the decision in 2019, it wasn't as far along in terms of features as it is today in 2026. Odoo can handle everything our business needs now." - Alexandre Scholer, CEO, Happy Snacks S.A.
Happy Snacks and Captivea: a transformation that continues
From project takeover to the launch of the Pizza Hut online ordering site, Happy Snacks has built a complete ERP solution with Captivea Luxembourg tailored to the demands of a multi-brand quick-service restaurant group. Odoo now unifies the group's financial, operational, and commercial management, and Alexandre Scholer runs it all from his phone.
