This is one of the most important events for restaurant owners, operators, foodservice professionals, hospitality brands, and vendors looking for new ways to improve customer experience, increase revenue, and discover industry innovations.
The MacCaddy device gives restaurants a smarter way to advertise directly at the table while also offering convenient phone charging for guests. Restaurants can use the devices to promote appetizers, drinks, desserts, events, online ordering, QR codes, catering, gift cards, loyalty programs, and local business advertisements.
Instead of relying only on printed table tents or static signage, MacCaddy devices help keep your message visible while customers are already seated, dining, waiting, and engaging with your space.
Restaurant growth often requires capital. Whether you are upgrading kitchen equipment, opening a second location, investing in digital signage, improving your dining room, hiring staff, or strengthening cash flow, The MacCaddy can help connect business owners with funding options.
Qualified applicants may be able to explore business funding options for equipment, lines of credit, working capital, or expansion needs. The goal is to help restaurant owners understand what may be available before making their next move.
Best for: Equipment upgrades, build-outs, expansion, working capital, renovations, marketing, and new location planning.
The MacCaddy creates advertising opportunities inside restaurants and high-traffic venues. Restaurants can use devices to promote their own specials, events, social media, online ordering, catering, QR codes, and seasonal campaigns. Local businesses can also advertise through MacCaddy placements to reach customers in real-world dining environments.
This gives restaurants a flexible way to keep promotions fresh while creating a more engaging guest experience.
Restaurant owners process payments all day, which means merchant service fees can quietly affect profit margins. The MacCaddy can help business owners request a merchant services analysis to review current credit card processing fees, transaction costs, equipment needs, and payment setup.
The goal is to see whether your current payment processing structure is competitive, whether fees can be optimized, and whether a better-fit solution may be available for the way your restaurant operates.
Whether you are attending the Restaurant Show in Chicago or planning growth for your restaurant from home, The MacCaddy can help you explore which solutions make the most sense for your business.
