  • What is your "why"? Why do you do what you do?
    As an Account Executive at SpotOn, I'm driven by a profound understanding of restaurants' crucial role within our society—both socially and economically. With a personal background as a restaurant owner, I intimately comprehend the pain points that affect these establishments on a daily basis. Issues like staffing challenges, the struggle to hire experienced industry personnel, battles with escalating labor and food costs are familiar territory.

    My journey with SpotOn commenced as a means to assist fellow owners and the broader hospitality industry in navigating a rapidly evolving landscape. I am resolute in my mission to aid restaurants in not just surviving but thriving. My purpose is to optimize their technology arsenal, going beyond the conventional notion of a point of sale system. I aim to help them streamline operations, enhance revenue, foster guest relationships, and effectively manage and retain their valuable staff.

    I firmly believe that by empowering restaurants with innovative, personalized technology solutions, we can help them overcome these challenges. My dedication lies in enabling restaurants to adapt to the new paradigm, ensuring their sustained success and resilience in an ever-changing industry.
