Childhood friends, Evan Kidera and Gil Payumo, share a passion for bringing authentic flavor to their community. They brought it to life when they launched their first Filipino-Mexican fusion food truck, combining tacos and burritos with the signature flavors of sisig — a rustic Filipino dish with a family twist from Gil’s childhood. Starting with one food truck, Señor Sisig has grown to four trucks and three restaurants across the San Francisco Bay Area.
As the business grew, so did opportunities to increase their operational efficiency. To increase productivity, and maintain consistency across all locations, they centralized food preparations to a single commercial kitchen and built a technology infrastructure with Apple products and services.
Apple helps to power our entire business — from inventory, receiving, and distribution to management and finance — we just couldn’t do any of this without it.

Kitchen managers use Mac and iPad with the Foodager app to monitor all incoming ingredients and distribute cooked food across all locations. For training and onboarding, they turn to the Opus Training app on iPad to share content like recipe books and videos on how to roll the burritos “the Sisig” way. And Slack on iPhone helps their mobile workforce stay connected for instant troubleshooting and seamless communication.
To scale community engagement and awareness, the team creates and shares unique, home-grown content shot on iPhone to keep customers updated on everything from daily specials to collaborations with local artists. They also use Apple Business Connect to build their customer base.
We use Apple Business Connect so people can use our place cards in Apple Maps to find us, order their food and complete their payment.

Señor Sisig is bringing truly authentic flavors to more people in their community. And with Apple hardware and services, Gil and Evan have all the ingredients they need to serve the best burritos in town.
