Case Study: Black Magic Cafe streamlines operations and regains work-life balance with Lightspeed Restaurant (U-Series)

How the Owner of Black Magic Cafe Found a Better Work/Life Balance with Restaurant Technology

Black Magic Cafe owner Eran Maron grew from a single Folly Beach shop to multiple Charleston locations and struggled to keep operations running without being tied to the restaurant. Looking for a modern, cloud-based alternative to his old Aloha system, Maron chose Upserve by Lightspeed to gain remote control over menus, labor, reporting and online ordering.

Upserve by Lightspeed delivered a cloud POS and integrated Online Ordering that let Maron update one menu across platforms, speed up staff training with a simpler interface, eliminate the extra third‑party ordering step, and handle payroll and labor from his iPhone. The result was measurable time savings, smoother guest communication, stronger support, and the restored work‑life balance that allowed him to manage the business while away from the restaurant.
