From Excel to Ordina in three weeks
A 35-seat Tuscan trattoria ran on paper for years. In 21 days we digitised it without taking away its soul.
Client: Trattoria del Borgo, San Gimignano (Tuscany), 35 seats, indoor + courtyard
The owner changed the menu every week — the season decides what goes into the kitchen. But printing it cost time and money, phone bookings got lost on Saturday nights, and nobody really knew how profitable the dishes were. "We've always done it this way." Result: shrinking margins for two years with no clear cause.
The solution
01
Menu builder with QR and NFC tags
Guests scan or tap the table, see the up-to-date weekly menu. The owner edits it in 3 minutes from the dashboard.
02
Online booking + staff phone confirmation
Public form, staff phones the guest to confirm. A real human 'yes' beats deposit-based bookings.
03
Food cost down to the cent
Upload supplier invoices, set ingredient grams, see green/yellow/red status per dish. No more 'by eye'.

“We'd "always done it this way", but Ordina showed us how much we were losing on dishes we thought made money.”
