An Atlanta favorite, drowning in missed calls.

Rreal Tacos is a renowned Mexican restaurant chain with 12 locations in the Atlanta area. Across the deployment Nacho has answered 138,000+ inbound calls in 6 months — peaks of 78 simultaneous calls during holiday rushes, zero voicemails. Rreal Tacos needed a system that could handle both everyday high call volume and extreme holiday surges.

The challenge
42%
average missed-call rate · spiking to 66% during holidays

Staff were overwhelmed, simultaneous calls were impossible, and after-hours coverage didn’t exist.

The result was an inability to manage call volume effectively during high-demand periods. Lost orders, lost reservations, and a poor customer experience compounded into significant revenue loss, particularly during holiday peaks.

Reservations (≈70% via OpenTable) plus takeout and delivery orders (≈30% via Toast) blended into roughly $30 of value per inbound call. Every unanswered ring during peak hours and holidays meant a measurable, recurring loss.
