Best example of Sanity used for internal company/HR system?

Great question! You're remembering the Restaurant Brands International (RBI) demo correctly. While I don't have details about the specific JAMstack conference presentation you attended, I can point you to an excellent resource about how RBI uses Sanity for their internal systems.

The RBI Case Study

Restaurant Brands International—the parent company of Burger King, Popeyes, Tim Hortons, and Firehouse Subs—uses Sanity to power internal applications that serve content to over 20 million monthly active users across 30,000 restaurants in 100+ countries.

Mitchell Posk, a software engineer with RBI, presented at Sanity's Structured Content 2022 conference about how they built their internal content platform. You can watch the full video of his talk, which covers:

Key Features of Their Internal System:

1. Real-time content validation - Content teams get immediate feedback on what will work before publishing, eliminating guesswork
2. Multi-brand, multi-region support - They hide irrelevant options for different markets and brands, reducing complexity
3. Autonomous content editing - Content teams can work independently without blocking other departments like Product or Legal
4. 3-minute deployment goal - They aimed to deploy new content in under 3 minutes (previously took days or weeks through agencies)

Why This Works Well for HR Systems:

The same principles that make Sanity work for RBI's restaurant operations could apply to an HR system:

• Role-based access control - Different permissions for different departments/regions
• Structured data - Employee information, policies, benefits data can all be modeled as structured content
• Multi-channel delivery - Content can be delivered to employee portals, mobile apps, intranets, etc.
• Real-time updates - HR policies and information can be updated quickly across all platforms
• Audit trails - Track who changed what and when (important for compliance)

For an HR system specifically, Sanity's Enterprise features include SSO, advanced role-based access control, and audit logs—all critical for internal employee systems.

I'd recommend showing your boss the full RBI blog post and the embedded video presentation, as it demonstrates exactly how a major company uses Sanity for internal applications at scale.
