Selling tacos, turning tables
How La Chiva Loka turns tacos into profit with SpotOn.
The goal
To increase profits and efficiency, the Cabreras had three objectives: to minimize their $20,000/year credit card fees, boost sales with faster service, and streamline ordering with technology.
The solution
While SpotOn Assist helped the Cabreras save on expenses, SpotOn Handhelds reduced check times and kitchen overload. Also, a $42,000 SpotOn Capital investment allowed for new equipment upgrades.
The results
savings in credit card fees
increase in weekly sales
wait time for SpotOn support
“I just feel like I'm family. To be honest, I could rely on SpotOn for just about anything. Whenever I turn around, there's something new. SpotOn understands every personal aspect of running a restaurant and has made my life so much easier.”
In 2019, Karen and José Cabrera opened La Chiva Loka—an outpost for Mexican American cuisine in rural Iowa. Since partnering with SpotOn, they’ve grown revenue, reduced expenses, and secured investment capital.
