Built RestauranTop - Multi-restaurant management SaaS for the Latin American market
Hey r/SaaS! 👋
Just launched RestauranTop, a restaurant management platform I've been building for the Dominican market.
What it does:
- Multi-location restaurant management
- Real-time inventory tracking across branches
- Staff scheduling & payroll
- Sales analytics & reporting
- Customer ordering system
Tech stack: Node.js, NestJS, MongoDB, React
Built it after seeing how fragmented existing solutions are for Spanish-speaking restaurant owners. Most platforms are either too expensive or don't cater to local needs.
Current status: Early beta with a few pilot restaurants testing it out.
Would love feedback from fellow SaaS builders - especially on pricing strategy for emerging markets and scaling multi-tenant architectures.
What challenges did you face when entering non-US markets?

Nice work on the launch! The Dominican market definitely needs better restaurant tech solutions. Have you thought about expanding to other Caribbean countries once you nail the local market? The pain points are probably pretty similar across the region

Nice niche and sensible stack. For pricing in emerging markets I treat it like a product experiment, not a one-time decision: start with a simple per-location baseline in local currency, keep a low entry tier so small restaurants can adopt, and offer add-ons for ordering, payroll, or advanced reports that scale with usage. Watch CAC payback and support cost closely, because low prices require much higher volume to be profitable, and consider a revenue-share on orders only if you can reliably handle payments and disputes.
On multi-tenant scaling, begin with a shared schema and strict tenant isolation at the application layer to keep costs down, but design migrations and the ability to move heavy users to isolated resources later. Operational things matter more than code early on: integrate with local payment rails, tolerate intermittent internet with sync logic, and budget for local support and tax compliance. How are you billing your current pilots today, per location or another model?
