Overcoming Operational Obstacles
Key Challenges
GrillO faced challenges in streamlining and coordinating various operational aspects due to the absence of an integrated system creating inefficiencies and coordination issues.
This resulted in inefficiencies, increased manual workload, and a lack of real-time data synchronization, hindering overall operational effectiveness.
Manual financial processes led to errors, delays, and difficulties in generating accurate financial reports, impacting timely and informed financial decision-making.
Manual entry of operations and financial data increased the workload and elevated the risk of mistakes.
GrillO lacked seamless integration between its online delivery platform and the Point-of-Sale (POS) system that led to discrepancies in order processing.
This resulted in inconsistencies in order processing, inventory management challenges, and potential delays in fulfilling online orders, impacting customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.
GrillO lacked a system for food costing, consumption tracking, and Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) calculation that gives a tough challenge in decision making and control on the raw materials.
The absence of these crucial components made it challenging for GrillO to assess the profitability of menu items, optimize pricing strategies, and control food costs effectively.
