Supporting a Growing Restaurant Brand

Technology has changed a lot of industries. Twenty years ago, a restaurant just needed a guest check pad and a smile. Today, they’d be lost without their network and POS system.

If you stop by a Zorbaz on a hot summer’s day, you’ll be met with a fun crowd, a refreshing drink, and some “zpicy” eats. Zorbaz is a fixture in Minnesota Lakes Country. Stopping at one of their 11 locations for a cold beer and hot ‘za after a day on the water is like tradition up north. And as the restaurant industry has evolved and their business grew, they turned to our Eide Bailly team to help support their expanding footprint.

Having doubled in size over the past 10 years, the need to operate as one business grew increasingly important. Securing their network, supporting their IT needs, and synchronizing their reporting became a necessity to running their business efficiently.

“When I first started with Zorbaz back in 1998, computers, technology, networking wasn’t really something you needed in a restaurant. But now, technology has progressed so much and has become such a vital part of what we do in the restaurant industry. It’s like a lifeline for us.”
