Plano, Texas
Background
Dillas Quesadillas is a fast-casual restaurant chain founded in 2013 by Kyle and Maggie Gordon, with 10 locations across Texas and Louisiana. With a focus on quality and convenience, the brand offers dine-in, drive-thru, and catering services, aiming to be a community cornerstone.
CHALLENGES

Kyle Gordon, Founder & CEO of Dillas Quesadillas, explained that prior to implementing PreciTaste, the team relied on a giant whiteboard to manage daily prep tasks. While this manual system worked in the past, it was time-consuming, prone to errors, and difficult to scale. The emphasis on fresh, high-quality ingredients made consistent prep critical, but training new employees quickly and maintaining efficiency during labor shortages posed significant challenges. Shift leaders were often overwhelmed, juggling multiple responsibilities, which reduced their ability to focus on team leadership and guest experience.

SOLUTION

Dillas implemented PreciTaste’s Prep Assistant, replacing the manual whiteboard system with AI-driven demand predictions and automated prep guidance. The system provides real-time instructions, ensuring fresh ingredients are prepared efficiently and accurately. Integration with the POS system enhances data-driven decision-making, while managers and shift leaders gain better oversight and more time to focus on operational excellence. Employees benefit from clear, automated guidance, allowing them to prioritize guest interactions and maintain high standards.
The Prep Assistant has transformed our back-of-house processes. What was once a complex, manual system is now streamlined and automated, making prep easier for employees at all levels of experience.
