May 24, 2021

The Georgia Restaurant Association has tapped SpotOn, a provider of restaurant management systems and small business technology, as its "preferred technology."

"Having the opportunity to offer our members access to SpotOn's leading restaurant technology and industry insight is crucial at this moment in time for the industry," Karen Bremer, president and CEO of the Georgia Restaurant Association, said in a company press release. "This is one more step forward in our commitment to helping Georgia restaurants as they reopen their doors and safely return to full operation."

Over the past year, investing in technology has been key to brands' survival, said Doron Friedman, chief product officer at SpotOn.

"Now that vaccines are widely available and consumers are eager to dine out, we're helping restaurants adapt to changing consumer behaviors with solutions like SpotOn Serve handhelds to streamline operations and built-in loyalty programs to keep customers coming back more often—all to help drive efficiency and revenue while enhancing the digital and in-person guest experience," he said in the release.

Since the start of the pandemic, SpotOn has offered commission-free online ordering and launched more than 400 product innovations. The company also waived $1.5 million software fees, assisted in PPP loan applications and introduced low-cost private lending through SpotOn Capital. Most recently, SpotOn partnered with the U.S. Small Business Administration to help clients gain easier access to federal aid through the Restaurant Revitalization Fund.
