Now Serving: Meet the Brands Choosing Olo to Power Their Next Chapter

Every restaurant has a story—a reason guests keep coming back, a standard they refuse to compromise on, a way of making people feel at home. At Olo, we get to be part of what happens behind the scenes, helping operators focus on what they do best.

In this edition of Now Serving, we're spotlighting a few of our newest partners and hearing directly from the people running the show. From Maine lobster shacks to corporate catering pros, here's what they're working on, what sets them apart, and why they chose Olo to help get there.

What led you to choose Olo as your technology partner?

We chose Olo because both Fat Rosie’s and Escalante’s are growing brands built around energy, hospitality, and creating memorable experiences. We wanted a technology partner that could keep up with that momentum while making it easier for guests to order, celebrate, cater, and engage with us digitally. Olo gives us the flexibility to scale while still keeping the guest experience seamless, exciting, and true to who we are as brands. – Hannah Robinson, Director of Marketing, Fat Rosie’s Taco & Tequila Bar

Olo was the perfect blend of a warm and detail-oriented support team, plus the suite of products that were a natural fit for what our team needs. – Meagan Dillon, VP of Marketing, Luke’s Lobster

Olo's focus on restaurants means the platform only has features essential for restaurants. You get exactly what you need, and nothing more. Which is amazing. – George Pepi, Marketing & Technology Manager, Alonti Catering

What are your top business priorities this year?

This year is all about growth, guest experience, and building even more excitement around Fat Rosie’s and Escalante’s. We’re focused on increasing dine-in traffic, expanding catering and events, strengthening loyalty, and continuing to grow awareness in both our long-standing communities and newer markets. We’re also investing heavily in technology and marketing strategies that help us create more personalized, high-energy experiences that keep guests coming back for the fiesta again and again. – Hannah Robinson, Director of Marketing, Fat Rosie’s Taco & Tequila Bar

Collecting actionable data and increasing traffic to our restaurants. We are hoping to accomplish this in part by launching a loyalty program and using Olo Engage to better target our guests. – Meagan Dillon, Luke’s Lobster

Our priorities don't change. Execute our recipes at the highest level, be a reliable catering partner for our clients, and maintain a respectful work environment. Glad Olo supports these priorities! – George Pepi, Alonti Catering

What's something about your brand that guests can't get anywhere else?

Both brands deliver memorable experiences, but in very different ways. Fat Rosie’s is all about the fiesta! High-energy, vibrant atmosphere designed to deliver an unforgettable dining experience that feels like a party every time you walk in. Escalante’s offers a more elevated take on Mexican dining, combining warm hospitality with refined flavors. Guests can enjoy everything from casual dinners to special occasions. – Hannah Robinson, Director of Marketing, Fat Rosie’s Taco & Tequila Bar

When you go to Luke's, you're stepping off a busy street or a chaotic work day into a Maine lobster shack—complete with good old Maine hospitality and the highest quality seafood that you can trust. – Meagan Dillon, Luke’s Lobster

We serve delicious food, and can work magic when our customers are in a bind, but we stand apart because of our customer service. Dedicated, local, catering sales managers and general managers make all of our clients feel special. We drop in, know your name, that you love a double chocolate chip cookie in your box lunch, and where to park for your delivery. We pride ourselves on old-school service. – George Pepi, Alonti Catering

Whether it's the warmth of a Maine lobster shack, the reliability of a dedicated catering team, or the energy of a neighborhood favorite, the brands featured here share something in common: a commitment to doing things right for their guests. We're proud to support them—and all 37 new brands that joined the platform this period, along with 800+ brands working hard every day to deliver great experiences for their guests through Olo.
