✦ Case Study · Los Gauchitos

108 locations. One intelligent operation.

Iconic Guatemala QSR chain founded in 1979. Built on tradition, recipes, and family culture — running its events and catering off word of mouth until this year.

The Problem

A $5M operation with no way to see a booking coming.

108 locations across Guatemala, and every catering and events request came in the same way it always had — a phone number passed around by hand, a conversation nobody logged, a food truck dispatched from memory. No shared calendar. No way to see which trucks were free on a given day. No record of who asked for a quote and never heard back.

They needed one system tying every location's events capacity together — without slowing down a 45-year-old operation that runs on relationships.

The Build

One events engine, built to run the whole fleet.

Live events and catering platform running on the same real-time system as the rest of the group — no more spreadsheets or phone logs
Central fleet management for every food truck, tracking daily capacity so no truck is ever double-booked
AI concierge on WhatsApp quoting real menu pricing and checking availability instantly, 24/7
New losgauchitos.com website with a lead-capture form wired directly into the events pipeline — every inquiry becomes a tracked lead automatically
Automatic deduplication — a lead from the website and a follow-up on WhatsApp stay one single record, not two
Live staff pipeline view showing every quote, confirmation, and event status in real time, replacing the old phone-and-memory system

The Result

From word of mouth to one live pipeline.

Every catering inquiry — from the website, from WhatsApp, from a walk-in — now lands in the same pipeline automatically, quoted against real fleet capacity in real time. The events team finally has one number to trust instead of five different phone logs, and every truck's schedule for the week is visible before Monday morning instead of guessed at.
