Peak-hour operations were slowing down

As order volumes increased, daily operations started slowing down during peak hours. Counter teams relied on verbal communication and paper slips to coordinate with the kitchen.

Parcel customers had no visibility into order status, and management lacked real-time operational insights. Kitchen staff struggled to identify which order should be prepared first, which orders were delayed, and which parcel token was ready for collection.

Customers were not receiving proper updates about their order progress during rush hours, negatively impacting the overall service experience. Management also had to physically visit multiple branches to monitor daily sales, cash closing and operational reports.

This created:

ⓘ  Rush-hour operational delays

ⓘ  Parcel handling confusion

ⓘ  Heavy dependency on manual coordination

ⓘ  No centralized operational visibility

ⓘ  Difficult branch-level monitoring
