Client Spotlight: Home Bistro Cleveland

Emily and Victor Gilbert, owners of Home Bistro in Chicago, Illinois, decided to close their restaurant and move back home to Cleveland, Ohio.

For Emily, it was a hard decision to close the restaurant she loved. She decided to open a new restaurant in her hometown and named it “Home Bistro Cleveland” - paying homage to the original Home Bistro. After looking at several locations, she decided on an old building in a section of Cleveland known as Little Italy.

Although the building required extensive renovations, Emily felt it was worth investing in because it had charm and historical value. With a little capital and some elbow grease, she quickly put her vision to work.

Compared to the old Home Bistro, the new restaurant would have a full bar, beautiful seasonal patio and be much larger. Emily knew there would be new challenges with inventory and orders. She wanted to automate those processes as much as possible, so she reached out to Team Merchant for help.

Team Merchant was able to set her up with a new Clover POS system, thus saving her time and money so she could focus more on providing her customers the best dining experience possible.

Home Bistro Cleveland is now open, processing payments and running smoothly! Emily now has time to sit and enjoy a cocktail on her beautiful seasonal patio. Welcome home Emily!
