Problems

Alisa Al Fresca_2.1.1

From restaurant roots to retail reality

Market Al Fresca began as an extension of a successful Italian restaurant, but needed a retail-first POS system when its specialty market launched in 2018.

“When our business first opened, we were part of our original restaurant and used their POS system, which didn't meet our needs for a market atmosphere.”

The market specializes in imported Italian products and in-house, fresh, ready-to-eat meals. In 2023, the business expanded, further increasing the need for a purpose-built POS solution that could handle weighed items, accurate pricing, and tight operational control.

Listed Problem

Advanced reporting
Tracking sales and inventory is essential for small markets. Alisa needed reports she could use to grow her business.

Built-in industry features
Weighing items like produce and meals was a daily challenge. Alisa needed a system that connected directly to Zebra scales for accurate pricing and inventory control.

Ease of use
The system had to be user-friendly with minimal training, but still powerful enough to manage complex inventory and track performance.
