Why I Still Recommend SpotOn—Even After Going Solo

Over the last few years, I’ve helped dozens of restaurants upgrade their tech, streamline operations, and finally take control of their online presence. I’ve worked inside the industry, in kitchens, at the pass, and on the floor—and I’ve worked behind the scenes as a Hospitality Account Executive at SpotOn.

Today, I work independently, choosing the best tools for each restaurant. And even though I’m no longer on their payroll, I still proudly recommend SpotOn—because I’ve seen firsthand how much they can do for a business.

Let me explain.

I Don’t Push One System—I Pick the Right One

When I walk into a restaurant now, I’m not just selling one company’s product. I’m listening. I’m watching. I’m asking:

• What are your pain points?

• What’s working?

• Where are you losing time, money, or customers?

And then I build a solution around that.

Sometimes, the answer is Oracle’s GloriaFood for free online ordering and reservations.
Other times, it’s a lean setup with a basic POS and a killer website.
But if you're looking for an all-in-one system that handles POS, online ordering, marketing, loyalty, and real-time data—SpotOn is still one of the best options on the table.

What Makes SpotOn Different

SpotOn isn’t just another POS company. What stood out to me then (and still holds true now) is the depth of support and customization they offer.

Here’s what I’ve seen them do well:

• Fully integrated POS + online ordering without commission fees

• Built-in loyalty programs and customer engagement tools

• Flexible hardware setups for full-service, quick service, or hybrid operations

• Local support teams (not just a 1-800 number)

• Transparent pricing—no hidden fees or nonsense

They also move fast. If you need a system up and running in a week, it can happen. I’ve done it.

Why I Partnered With Them as an Affiliate

I don’t slap my name on just anything. But when I left SpotOn to work independently, I still wanted a way to recommend it to clients who could benefit from it. That’s why I signed up as an affiliate partner—not because I have to, but because I believe in what they offer.

So if you want a personal introduction, full demo, and a hand in getting it set up, here’s my referral link:

I’ll walk you through it—honestly, transparently, and based on whether or not it’s a good fit for you.

One Last Thing...

I’m not here to sell you software. I’m here to help you run your restaurant better—with the right tech, clear marketing, and a real plan.

So whether it’s SpotOn, GloriaFood, Square, WordPress, or some Frankenstein stack that works for you—I’ll help you build it, launch it, and run it right.
