Our Philosophy
We know that our restaurant owners work hard to create delicious food and a dining experience that will create loyal customers and raving fans. The restaurant business requires a laser focus on quality, price, and value in order to be profitable and build a brand. We don’t think it’s fair when Silicon Valley third parties enter the landscape and try to take away what small business owners work so hard to achieve by charging outrageous fees for delivery, and at the same time basically steal the customer information from the restaurant! These third parties claim to be “performance enhancing drugs” for the small business with promises to drive business and increase revenue. But the only problem is, the revenue goes to the third party – not to the small business owner!
Our commitment to OUR loyal customers is to build their brand, build their trust, and build their treasure. After all, we are a small business, too, and we know what it means to work with people who do what’s right for the customer.
Hi, I’m Mike Ostler.
As a lifelong sports enthusiast, I love the thrill of victory and don’t much care for the agony of defeat. No matter the sport or venue or level of competition, you’ll always find me rooting for the underdog. There’s just something to be said for not giving up, giving it all you’ve got, and getting the reward you deserve. I suppose that’s why I’m so passionate about my business. I love to “coach” small business owners across the finish line and help them maximize their profits and not give away what they’ve worked so hard to achieve to someone who doesn’t play by the same rules. Carolina Merchants First is a tireless advocate of our area’s small business owners, offering online ordering, delivery, and credit card processing solutions that put the best interests of our merchants first.
Originally from Frankfort, Indiana, I’ve lived in the Carolinas for over 25 years. My wife and I have the good fortune of enjoying the abundance of beauty and activities that this part of the country has to offer. We love working in our yard, cooking farm-to-table meals, cheering on the Clemson Tigers (what a great underdog story!), and teaching the fundamentals of basketball to aspiring young athletes.
