Problem
Many convenience stores struggle to integrate their foodservice operations with existing retail Point of Sale (POS) systems, which are often based on retail accounting platforms and lack the cost-based accounting needed to accurately manage foodservice profitability. This makes it difficult to track freshly prepared food sales, inventory, and labor costs effectively.
Solution
Orders Up is an iPad application designed for foodservice within convenience stores, providing a low-cost solution to manage and track freshly prepared food sales. The app enables deli clerks to capture orders, print barcode labels for packaging, and provide checkout clerks with a scan-able container to close transactions. All data is transmitted to cloud-based servers in real-time, allowing for remote analysis of key store metrics such as sales trends, inventory levels, food costs, and labor. This enables operators to optimize their deli operations and improve profitability by providing actionable insights into their foodservice business.
Target Audience
The primary target audience is convenience store operators and multi-unit franchisees looking to improve the profitability and efficiency of their foodservice operations.
