When a family business spans decades, surviving recessions, market shifts, and a global pandemic, it’s a story worth sharing. Cornucopia Restaurant, a beloved counter-service eatery at 19 Wicklow Street, Dublin, has stood the test of time since its founding in 1986.

Initially vegetarian, Cornucopia recently evolved into a fully vegan establishment, bringing its loyal customers along on this transformative journey. Today, it’s not just the food that’s evolved—the restaurant has embraced technology to enhance customer experience and streamline operations, thanks to LoyLap.

Cornucopia’s technological transformation began with the adoption of LoyLap’s integrated systems. Initially used for managing gift vouchers, LoyLap quickly proved its versatility. Custom-designed vouchers, complete with Cornucopia’s logo, were just the beginning. The real game-changer came with table ordering—a feature perfectly suited to the restaurant’s multi-floor layout.

• Customers scan a QR code at their table or log in via the Cornucopia app.
• They input their table number, browse the photo-rich menu, and select items.
• Payment is seamless with Apple Pay or other payment methods.
• Orders are sent directly to the kitchen, where they’re promptly prepared and delivered to the correct table.

• Enter daily inventory counts, allergens, and photographs for each menu item.
• Automatically update availability as items sell out, preventing customer disappointment.

As a business deeply rooted in tradition, Cornucopia values the unique atmosphere it’s cultivated over decades. Adopting new technology like LoyLap isn’t about replacing that essence—it’s about enhancing it.

“Every business needs to maintain its original feeling while utilizing technology to keep up with the times,” Darina emphasizes. “LoyLap has given us the tools to do just that, helping us serve our customers better while generating additional revenue.”

Cornucopia’s journey is a testament to the power of resilience, adaptability, and innovation. By embracing solutions like LoyLap, the restaurant has successfully navigated the challenges of modern dining while staying true to its roots.
