SpotOn Shines Light on Financial Struggles and Growth Opportunities for Restaurants 

SpotOn's 2025 Restaurant Business Report released in March underscores the company's commitment to equipping restaurant operators with the data, tools, and financial insights needed to navigate an increasingly competitive market. The report highlights the economic pressures, pricing challenges, and funding obstacles facing operators while offering actionable strategies to enhance profitability and drive long-term success. More than 90% of operators are concerned about changes in consumer spending habits, making demand harder to predict, but even more concerning only 15% of operators say they can easily access key cost projections, leaving many without a clear financial picture. By providing real-time financial reporting, smarter pricing strategies, and alternative funding solutions, SpotOn continues to support independent operators and strengthen their ability to compete in 2025 and beyond.
