Casa Colombia: $49,680 in reported annual savings

Historicalapproved case study

Casa Colombia is a high-volume Colombian restaurant running $106K/month through Toast. They were overpaying on card processing, paying $499/month in software fees, financing equipment at $425/month, and absorbing junk fees every month. Total monthly cost: over $4,200. Nobody at Toast ever proactively offered to review their setup as their volume grew. Derived showed them dual pricing on SkyTab — where a clearly displayed card price and cash price let customers choose — and the math was undeniable: their processing cost would drop to zero.

What changed
  1. Processing cost dropped to $0 with dual pricing

    Dual pricing shows a cash price and a card price. Card customers pay the posted price which covers the processing cost. The restaurant pays $0 for card processing — on $106K/month in volume.

  2. Software fees cut from $499 to $60/month

    Toast was charging $499/month in software and add-on fees. SkyTab: $60/month for two devices. Savings: $439/month.

  3. Free equipment replaced financed hardware

    New SkyTab terminals provided at no cost. Eliminated $425/month in Toast hardware financing.

  4. Eliminated every junk fee

    PCI, statement, batch, and misc charges — $183/month in waste removed.

  5. Qualified for $5,000 cash back to switch

    Volume qualified for a $5,000 switch bonus — used part to cover Toast early termination and kept the rest.

“We were handing Toast over $4,200 a month and they never once offered us a better deal. Derived put us on dual pricing and our processing cost went to zero. Zero. We're saving almost $50,000 a year.” — Casa Colombia team, Colombian restaurant
