Current State vs Future State Comparison
Current State
(Traditional)- Staff verbally confirms order: 'So that's a Big Mac and fries, right?'.
- Customer says 'yes' but order was actually entered wrong.
- Customer realizes error at pickup window (too late to fix efficiently).
- Upsell attempted verbally: 'Want to add a drink?' but easy to decline.
5. 10-15% order errors not caught until window.
Characteristics
- • Point of Sale (POS) Systems
- • Digital Menu Boards
- • Kitchen Display Systems (KDS)
