When you think of a bustling, vibrant food hall like Ponce City Market here in ATL, Parlor OKC, or Revolving Kitchen in Dallas - they're all creative epicenters where folks go to bask in the warmth of different cuisines and the ability to try them all. But, the bittersweet side of heavy foot traffic is how to remain guest-centric with split tabs, delivery and pickup queues, and not only managing complex orders but the payouts to the hall's operators. That's where GoTab came in for Revolving Kitchen as they helped them: ✅ Integrated diverse menus ✅ Simplified operational processes ✅ Facilitated swift and accurate payouts to each tenant All while helping the somewhat endless stream of guests order at their own pace (& split and/or share the tab) and let the tabs travel with the guests.

I'd choose:  1️⃣ A loyal customer base provides steady revenue and word-of-mouth marketing, which is essential for long-term sustainability and profitability. It also shows that your restaurant exceeds customer expectations, driving repeat business. 3️⃣ Efficient operations reduce costs, improve productivity, and streamline customer service. This not only boosts profitability but also enhances the overall dining experience and sets you up to scale for more. A high profit margin is the end goal, but I'll take 10% of 10 millions over 20% of 500k. The same goes for IG: if they don't buy, it doesn't matter.
