Current State vs Future State Comparison
Current State
(Traditional)1. Accountant manually downloads invoices from DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub portals. 2. Accountant spot-checks calculations in Excel (checking 5-10% of line items). 3. Invoices paid without comprehensive verification. 4. Errors discovered months later if at all. 5. $2K-$8K in overcharges go undetected annually per location.
Characteristics
- • ERP Systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle)
- • Aggregator Platforms (e.g., Uber Eats, DoorDash)
- • Spreadsheets (Excel, Google Sheets)
- • Payment Processing Systems (e.g., Stripe, PayPal)
- • Communication Tools (e.g., Email, Slack)
Pain Points
- ⚠ High commission rates (15-30%) reducing profit margins.
- ⚠ Complex fee structures leading to confusion and disputes.
- ⚠ Manual reconciliation processes that are time-consuming and error-prone.
- ⚠ Lack of transparency in aggregator charges causing mistrust.
- ⚠ Limited control over pricing and customer experience.
- ⚠ Dependence on manual processes increases the risk of errors.
