DOSALAS Latin Kitchen

““Guests stopped asking 'what is that?' and started saying 'I need that.' Our servers are happier, our kitchen is busier with the right items”.”

The Moment

Guests stopped asking “what is that?” — and started asking for it by name.

Before MenuMingle, ordering at DOSALAS meant trusting a server's description or pointing at a neighboring table. Once every table could see the food itself, that hesitation and guesswork disappeared.

Overview

DOSALAS Latin Kitchen is a Latin American restaurant and tequila bar in Vancouver, WA, known for bold, shareable plates — the kind of food that's genuinely hard to describe from memory. That made it a natural test case: could seeing the menu, not just hearing about it, actually change how people order?

Over July 2026, DOSALAS ran a two-stage pilot with MenuMingle — first putting a visual menu on every table, then testing whether extra visibility inside that menu could shift what guests chose. General Manager David Samuelson tracked results across both stages using POS records and MenuMingle's own view data, comparing matched days week over week.
