CHICAGO, Dec. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Adalina Prime, a modern Chicago steakhouse from the team behind Adalina, has selected SpotOn, the restaurant management system built for independent operators, to power front- and back-of-house operations at its Fulton Market location. Led by Chef Partner Soo Ahn, acclaimed for his work at the Michelin-starred Band of Bohemia and as a standout on Top Chef Season 21, Adalina Prime blends an elevated steak program with globally inspired flavors and striking design to deliver a fresh take on the city's steakhouse tradition.
