Maximizing Profitability and Customer Satisfaction of an International Fast-Food Restaurant Chain

Our Client

  • An international quick-service restaurant chain headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. The company has outlets in North America, Europe and Asia. The menu items are standardized across the outlets and franchises, ranging from burgers, beverages, sandwiches, french fries, wraps, etc.

Problem Statement

  • The restaurant chain had 4 main channels of revenue – dine-in/take-out, mobile app, restaurant and food delivery aggregators, and website. Our client had the objective to encourage customers to order food through online channels as the overhead costs were significantly less.
  • The organization was struggling to manage and analyze data from these multiple sources and make informed decisions that can help them in retaining customers.
  • The chain had multiple outlets in locations spread across continents. Hence, many outlets were using manual processes to track inventory, sales and customer data. This made it harder for the client to get a clear picture of how its outlets were performing because the processes followed were not only time-consuming but also prone to errors.
