What It Is
Unified order management consolidating DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub into single kitchen workflow reducing errors by 70-85% and improving efficiency 40-60% through centralized orchestration.
Current State vs Future State Comparison
Current State
(Traditional)- Three separate tablets ring simultaneously: DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub.
- Staff must monitor all tablets and manually accept orders.
- Orders manually re-entered into POS or kitchen system.
- No unified queue - staff prioritizes based on which tablet they notice first.
5. 12-18% order errors from manual re-entry.
Characteristics
- • PushPOS
- • Kitchen Display Systems (KDS)
- • Unified API Gateways
- • Menu and Inventory Management Software
- • Business Intelligence (BI) Tools
Pain Points
- ⚠ Manual Entry Errors and Delays: Without integration, manual input leads to mistakes, slower order processing, and lost revenue.
- ⚠ Multiple Devices and Interfaces: Managing separate tablets or apps for each delivery platform complicates workflow and increases chances of missed orders.
- ⚠ Limited Modification and Cancellation Functions: Some aggregation tools have restricted capabilities for order changes or refunds, requiring additional manual intervention.
- ⚠ Inventory and Menu Sync Challenges: Real-time updates are critical but can be complex to maintain, risking overselling or customer dissatisfaction.
- ⚠ Complex Setup and Configuration: Onboarding and configuring each location with correct menu IDs, payment processing, and fulfillment parameters can be time-consuming.
- ⚠ Cost and Fees Variability: Different platforms have varying commission structures, complicating cost management.
- ⚠ Integration Complexity: Setting up and maintaining API integrations can be technically challenging and resource-intensive.
Future State
(Agentic)- Order Aggregation Agent automatically receives orders from all platforms via API integration.
- Unified Queue consolidates orders into single KDS stream with platform identifier.
- Auto-Accept accepts orders within SLA (no manual tablet monitoring).
- Priority Engine sequences orders by promise time and prep complexity.
- Single Workflow eliminates re-entry: orders flow directly to kitchen stations with all customizations.
Characteristics
- • DoorDash order stream via API
- • Uber Eats order stream via API
- • Grubhub order stream via API
- • Platform SLA requirements (accept within X minutes)
- • Order promise times and pickup deadlines
- • Kitchen capacity and current queue
- • Item customizations and special instructions
- • Platform-specific packaging requirements
Benefits
- ✓ 70-85% error reduction (<2% vs 12-18%)
- ✓ 40-60% efficiency improvement (no tablet monitoring, no re-entry)
- ✓ Unified queue enables proper FIFO sequencing
- ✓ Auto-accept ensures no missed orders
- ✓ Staff focus on cooking not order management
- ✓ Single KDS view for all delivery orders
