Lasse’s ambitions set the standard
Cactus started in Bergen with high standards for quality and presentation. Founder Lasse Smedsvig had built an ambitious restaurant concept, and the business was expanding. The team needed technology that could support those same standards behind the scenes and make everyday life easier for staff and guests.
The same ambition behind the scenes
The systems had to fit the business Lasse and his team were building. A strong restaurant concept needs an operation that holds together as the business grows and there is more to manage.
Cactus chose the full ninito ecosystem. Its functions came together in a platform the team could use throughout daily operations. ninito provided one shared system to support the restaurant’s ambitions as a whole.
The Cactus experience gained its own app
Cactus also gained an app under its own name. It gave the brand a place on guests’ phones and became part of the same setup the team used to run the restaurant.
The app and the platform became parts of the same Cactus experience. ninito supported both the system behind the restaurant and a digital space guests could recognise as Cactus.
Less administration, week after week
The clearest change is the time spent on administration. Cactus saves tens of administrative hours every week after bringing its operations together in ninito.
A shared system means less work keeping separate tools together. For Lasse and the team, that returns time to a growing business and creates more room to work on the restaurant they want to develop.
Less administration should also mean less work maintaining the technology itself. ninito Pro and Enterprise include specialists who handle ongoing menus, campaigns and loyalty changes at no extra charge. You bring the restaurant’s next idea. The team helps turn it into something guests can use.
A change people appreciate too
Both staff and guests appreciate the solution. That matters to a concept like Cactus, where the standard of the restaurant experience comes first.
The connected platform has reduced administration, while the app carries the Cactus identity into the digital experience. The technology supports the work Lasse and his team do, with the people and the restaurant at its centre.
Less administration, more connected operations
Cactus wanted to bring operations together while maintaining its brand’s standards and guest experience.
