The takeaway & delivery stack

Six instruments, calibrated.

Takeaways and delivery operators — Deliveroo / Just Eat / Uber Eats consolidation, kitchen prep, customer comms, refund flow. Order in, out, delivered — one screen.

01 · Multi-platform consolidation

Deliveroo, Just Eat, Uber Eats — one queue.

Three tablets become one screen. Order tickets unified, menu sync built in, mismatch alerts when a platform price drifts from the master menu. The 7pm chaos engineered down.

  • Deliveroo + Just Eat + Uber Eats
  • Master menu, single source
  • Price drift alerts
  • Order ticket unification
02 · Kitchen display & prep

KDS, prep, pass — synced.

Kitchen display system grouped by station, prep generated from rolling order projections, pass-side ticket clearance audited. Less printer paper, less lost ticket, less reheat.

  • Station-grouped KDS
  • Rolling prep projections
  • Pass clearance audit
  • Reheat / remake tracking
03 · Customer comms

Delays, status, the awkward call.

Order delayed twenty minutes because the rider didn't show? The customer hears it from you, not the platform's auto-message. Templated, owner-tone, sent via SMS / WhatsApp / platform-native.

  • Delay + status SMS / WhatsApp
  • Templated owner-tone copy
  • Platform-native fallback
  • Resolution log per order
04 · Refund flow + dispute

Refunds, disputes, evidence.

Platform refund disputes captured with the evidence — KDS timestamp, prep photo, rider handoff log — so the platform can't quietly absorb the cost on you. Pattern-watching for habitual abusers.

  • Refund evidence pack
  • Platform dispute workflow
  • Habitual abuser pattern
  • Per-platform refund rate
05 · Per-platform margin

Which platform actually pays.

Revenue minus commission minus packaging minus refund leakage, per platform, live. The conversation the operator needs to have but never has the data for. Sometimes Just Eat is the loss leader.

  • Per-platform commission tracked
  • Packaging + driver allocated
  • Refund leakage netted
  • Per-platform margin dashboard
06 · BrainBase

Recipes, packaging, training — indexed.

Recipe specs, packaging spec per item, allergen reference, training videos, opening checklists — findable from the kitchen tablet or the new prep cook's phone. Multi-brand kitchens stop confusing the brands.

  • Recipe + packaging spec
  • Per-brand allergen reference
  • Training video stack
  • Opening + closing checklists
Sample engagement

The 3-brand cloud kitchen that lifted on-time delivery eighteen percent.

Three brands. Three tablets. 600 orders a week. Friday night a printer war.

A cloud kitchen ran three brands off three platform tablets, one printer, and a head cook calling out tickets. Friday on-time rate was 71%. Three-week build: consolidated KDS pulling from all three platforms, station-grouped tickets, prep projection from rolling 4-week order history, delay-comm SMS templated to the brand. Three months in: on-time delivery up to 89%, refund rate down 34%, head cook stopped shouting.

How we measure: On-time delivery measured as platform-reported delivery time vs promise (n = 7,800 orders, 12 weeks); refund rate from platform exports; head-cook shift stress logged via daily check-in.
