Roastery Café: Centralizing operations and unifying sales channels across 5 branches
Managing 5 branches and 3 third-party delivery aggregators via disconnected tablets resulted in operational chaos. We consolidated all order channels into a single POS unified with central inventory to precisely track recipe costs.

Background
The chain started as a small specialty coffee roastery whose owners added café branches to serve their freshly roasted beans, eventually reaching five prime locations. The central production heart — the roastery itself — remained outside any accounting system: bean, milk, and prep-supply replenishment happened through daily calls and messages with no link to actual sales at each branch.
The challenge
Manually re-entering third-party aggregator orders into the main POS caused frequent kitchen prep errors and severe bottlenecks during peak hours. Furthermore, the inability to track granular ingredient consumption left recipe costs unknown, reducing pricing strategies to pure guesswork.
The solution
We implemented an advanced POS system capable of ingesting dine-in and API-integrated delivery platform orders directly into a single interface. We mapped standard recipes to automatically deduct ingredients from inventory and established rigorous shift-closing protocols to ensure absolute financial accountability.
Implementation
Implementation took seven weeks. We launched POS with recipe-to-inventory mapping at the flagship branch, then activated API integrations with the three delivery platforms and verified every order landing directly on prep screens, before progressively connecting the remaining branches once shift-closing routines were locked in. Training shift supervisors to read end-of-day variance reports was what cemented adoption of the new system.
The outcome
Average order fulfillment time was slashed to just two minutes, and gross profit margins expanded by 18% as a direct result of repricing items based on newly discovered, accurate recipe costs. Empowered by operational stability, the chain successfully expanded by two branches the following year leveraging the exact same software infrastructure.
Lasting impact
The roastery evolved from a silent supplier into a fully accounted production center: every kilogram of beans is deducted from green-stock automatically and cost-allocated to branches by actual consumption. New menu items are now judged on a month of real performance numbers rather than impressions, and the chain is preparing further openings with full visibility into each branch's complete operating cost.
