How a restaurant turned the tables

What if – The Restaurant’s Near Bankruptcy

Restaurant

In the heart of Valencia, Spain, nestled in a cobblestoned alley was Sabor Auténtico, a quaint restaurant run by siblings Diego and Rosa. It boasted traditional Spanish dishes and was once a popular spot for both locals and tourists. But as time passed and competition grew, Sabor Auténtico faced dwindling customers and a mounting pile of bills.

The final blow came when a renowned food chain opened its doors two blocks away. In a matter of weeks, their sales took a nosedive. Every evening, Diego and Rosa would sit at a table, watching the few customers they had, thinking about the inevitable – closing down.

However, Rosa, with her can-do spirit, wasn’t ready to give up. She was determined to find a way to bring customers back. Realizing the increasing trend of takeaways, they optimized their menu for it, ensuring that their dishes retained flavor and warmth even hours after being cooked. Still, while this increased their sales marginally, it wasn’t enough.

Then, one evening, while Rosa was checking online for supplies, she stumbled upon Tagpresto. An idea struck her instantly. What if they could make their takeaway service more interactive? Maybe even create a buzz about it in the city?

She purchased a Tagpresto-compatible label printer and started designing a campaign. For every takeaway order, they attached a QR code using the Tagpresto app, which, when scanned, would take the customer to a unique web page. This page held a delightful surprise – it could be a discount on their next order, a short fun fact about Spanish cuisine, or a secret recipe they could try at home. Every QR code was unique, creating an air of mystery. It was almost like a mini treasure hunt with every meal.

Word started to spread. Customers would share their discoveries on social media, raving about the surprises Sabor Auténtico had in store. This created a ripple effect. Not only did regulars start ordering more frequently, but new faces started showing up, eager to have their turn at the QR code mystery. People even started collecting them, comparing the secrets and offers they got.

Within three months, Sabor Auténtico transformed from a near-empty space to a bustling hub, with lines stretching outside the door. They were the talk of Valencia, with even tourists making a beeline to experience the QR code magic. The takeaway orders were through the roof, and their dine-in was packed every evening.

Diego and Rosa, from the brink of despair, had not only saved their family business but turned it into the most sought-after restaurant in town, all thanks to a bit of creativity and the magic touch of Tagpresto.
