BOKA Uses NCR Aloha POS Software to Streamline Operations
Since opening their first restaurant in 2003, Chicago-based BOKA Restaurant Group Owners, Kevin Boehm and Rob Katz have used the NCR Aloha platform-of-sale (POS) to streamline operations across their growing, top-ranking restaurants and expect to continue their partnership for years to come.
Before coming together to start BOKA, Boehm knew at a young age he was destined to be in the restaurant business. After dropping out of the University of Illinois, he saved enough money as a server to open his first restaurant in 1992, while Katz was a finance guru with experience operating multiple bars and nightclubs. When the two decided to open a restaurant together they had the industry experience to know what they needed technologically to make them successful. They chose NCR’s suite of restaurant technology solutions. BOKA Restaurant Group has been using NCR Aloha since its inception to provide quick service, excellent food and an exceptional dining experience for its customers.
BOKA places high importance on top-rated chefs and excellent restaurant design. The return on those investments is a massive flow of customer traffic, which is why it needed to provide its employees with reliable technology that allows them to be efficient and precise.
“We wouldn’t use any technology other than NCR’s. We rationalize the investment based on the time saved alone. Providing a quick, efficient and customized experience for each of our guests is worth everything in this business,” said BOKA Restaurant Group Co-founder Rob Katz.
“The NCR Aloha software brings everything together so that food just flies out of the kitchen in harmony. Servers can communicate with the kitchen in a way that optimizes the dining experience for our guests, allowing us to provide great food and exceptional service,” added BOKA Restaurant Group Co-founder Kevin Boehm. “NCR is the best at what they do and we wouldn’t want to work with anyone else.”
BOKA Group now includes 13 restaurants in the Chicago, Ill. area and was a James Beard Foundation Award finalist for Outstanding Restauranteur in 2016. NCR is their exclusive partner for restaurant solutions.
