un·cooked chicago Launched During COVID — and Location #2 is Already Here
Incorporating technology to enable hospitality was un·cooked chicago’s saving grace after opening their doors only weeks before COVID-19 sent the country into lockdown.
“From the get-go, we had done our research and anticipated that the quick service restaurant industry was heading towards the remote, digital experience anyway," said owner Jeremy Jones. "COVID ended up being the ultimate stress-test for our systems. Toast’s ability to integrate really made a difference as we adapted.”
un·cooked leverages Toast POS systems to seamlessly aggregate data and generate critical forecasting and reporting – key elements of their digital strategy today. Their success has given them the opportunity to expand into a second location within less than a year. To read more about how un·cooked chicago utilized Toast POS systems and Toast Reporting and Analytics to grow their business, check out this blog post.
