The high cost of living in New York (139% of national average) means ingredient costs eat into margins — keeping 100% of revenue matters even more

How a New York farmers market vendor grew from DMs to 80 orders/month
The Challenge
Tyler was running a farmers market vendor business out of their New York kitchen, but managing orders through Instagram DMs and text messages had become overwhelming. With 27,000+ restaurants in the area, getting noticed felt impossible.
The Solution
Tyler started using RestauNax's pre-order feature for Harlem Harvest Festival Market in Harlem — customers ordered online before Saturday, and Tyler just handed off pre-packed bags at the booth. Sales doubled within a month.
