The Problem

The outdated Point-of-Sale (POS) could not meet the changing customer needs and operational requirements. Café Bateel wanted a robust technology partner that can fill gaps in their existing FOH operations and continue to meet customer needs for the foreseeable future.

  • Time-consuming tech implementation – Implementing tech processes at a new outlet took a lot of time and manual effort, making the roll-out cumbersome.
  • Redundant legacy technology – The POS was ill-equipped to efficiently serve special customer requests like generating duplicate bills, bill split, and reprinting.
  • Manual reconciliation of online ordersThe online orders from delivery platforms required re-punching in the POS. The process took up additional time and resources along with causing discrepancies in reporting.

The Solution

  • Posist’s implemented its cloud technology restaurant management platform across all outlets of Café Bateel in a record time, establishing a centralized control across all its locations.
  • Posist provided hands-on training to all the front-of-house staff and IT department throughout the implementation, ensuring smooth transition of operations from legacy to cloud technology. The team at Posist continues to remain available 24*7 for any support needs.
  • With Posist’s real-time analytics and CRM, it has become easier for Café Bateel to understand customer behavior and preferences, allowing them to formulate data-backed marketing and sales strategies. 
  • Posist integrated the front-of-house and back-of-house directly with delivery aggregators such as Hunger Station, Talabat, Careem, and Zomato. There’s a single stream of online orders now which automatically syncs up all the orders in POS and Kitchen Display System (KDS).  

The Outcome

    • Smooth transition of operations to the cloud platform The platform infrastructure met the existing requirements along with adding new features and capabilities, providing the scalability required.
    • Single-click tech deploymentLaunching a new outlet with Restroworks takes only a few minutes instead of days, eliminating manual database configuration.
    • Improved customer experienceWith role-based controls at FOH, it was easier to cater to various customer requirements with relative ease and speed.
    • Automated reconciliation of online ordersIntegration of FOH to delivery aggregators has eliminated discrepancies in reporting and the need for manual reconciliation.
