Calabria Pizza: $20,748 in reported annual savings
Calabria Pizza had been running on Aloha for years. The hardware was outdated, the software hadn't seen a real update in ages, and they were paying $349/month in Aloha licensing and maintenance for a system that was barely holding together. Their processor had them on an inflated plan and the rate hadn't been renegotiated once. At $62K/month, the overcharges were massive. Their Aloha rep had left the company and support took forever. They assumed a full system replacement would be expensive and disruptive.
