The Service Counter Crisis: Too Slow, Too Fragmented, Too Labor-Dependent

Today’s food and beverage customers expect real-time service, consistency, and convenience—whether they’re ordering from a kiosk, app, website, or messaging platform. But many restaurants and chains are stuck in outdated service models:

Average order waits times surge to 10+ minutes during peak hours—especially for digital and takeaway orders.
Staffing shortages and high turnover (up to 60% in quick-service roles) disrupt both front- and back-of-house operations.
Disconnected ordering systems, loyalty platforms, and feedback channels result in inconsistent, frustrating experiences.

The result? Long queues, incorrect orders, missed upselling opportunities, and plummeting customer satisfaction. Left unchecked, these gaps can lead to negative reviews, falling foot traffic, and lost revenue—especially in an industry where every second and every plate counts.
