Why This Matters

What It Is

Visual order confirmation displays with targeted upsell offers increasing average ticket 15-25% and reducing errors by 70-85% through dual-channel verification.

Current State vs Future State Comparison

Current State

(Traditional)
  1. Staff verbally confirms order: 'So that's a Big Mac and fries, right?'.
  2. Customer says 'yes' but order was actually entered wrong.
  3. Customer realizes error at pickup window (too late to fix efficiently).
  4. 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)
  • AI and Voice Ordering Systems
  • Mobile Ordering Platforms
  • ERP and Inventory Management Systems
  • Communication Tools (e.g., Look Digital Signage)

Pain Points

  • Order Confirmation Gaps: Many mobile orders lack confirmation, leading to errors.
  • Inconsistent Upselling: Human staff upsell only about 40% of the time, missing revenue opportunities.
  • Technology Integration Challenges: Synchronizing various systems can be complex and costly.
  • Staffing and Training: High-volume drive-thrus require well-trained staff, which can be resource-intensive.
  • Customer Experience Issues: Poor speaker clarity and low volume can reduce satisfaction.
  • High dependency on staff training for effective upselling.
  • Integration complexity among POS, KDS, and digital menus can hinder efficiency.
  • Physical layout constraints can limit drive-thru capacity and flow.
  • Inconsistent technology performance can lead to customer dissatisfaction.

Future State

(Agentic)

1. Visual Confirmation Display shows order details on screen at speaker: item names, customizations, prices, total. 2. Error Detection Agent highlights potential issues: 'No drink ordered - add one?'. 3. Personalized Upsell displays targeted offer: 'Add apple pie for $1.50 (pairs great with your meal)' with accept button. 4. Real-Time Edit allows customer to modify via touchscreen or voice before finalizing. 5. Order Lock Confirmation requires customer acknowledgment before proceeding to window.

Characteristics

  • Order details and customizations
  • Menu items and pricing
  • Customer order history and preferences
  • Upsell rules and pairings
  • Common error patterns
  • Item availability status
  • Promotional offers and LTOs
  • Average ticket and basket analysis

  • 15-25% average ticket increase through visual upsell
  • 45-60% upsell acceptance vs 12-18% verbal
  • Customer confidence (see exactly what ordered)
  • Real-time corrections before reaching window
  • Automated upsell frees staff focus
