Business Challenges: Food Delivery Software is an important part of operations for cloud kitchens, and they are likely to face a variety of challenges in it. Chin Chin was subject to these main obstacles in the delivery process:
- Their delivery operations were completely manual and hence subject to mismanagement and human errors. It was chaotic to assign drivers with the orders in ways that they would be able to manage the deliveries in an efficient manner.
- They were using text messages or phone calls to communicate with their drivers regarding the assignment of orders or their delivery statuses, which resulted in a lag in the communication process.
- It was difficult to monitor the location of drivers or the quality of their work. There was an absence of accountability regarding the payments collected by the drivers for the COD orders.
- It was a burden on time and resources when drivers picked up longer routes or missed the right exits during their delivery process.
- Customer satisfaction was decreasing due to the lack of communication with them. They needed to keep their customer base of 100,000 updated with the status of their orders in order to increase their loyalty.
- Real-time visibility was required in order to keep customers informed and also to stay aware of the situation in case of unexpected delays, or other obstacles that might interfere with the delivery process.
- It costs a lot of time and money to integrate their system with many external restaurant or delivery management businesses. They wanted a way to be able to integrate their system with ease.
- Adapting to new technology is a difficult transition process for every team. ChinChin required a food delivery software that provided them with the necessary customer support and technical guidance.
