Plan the parts of ordering that need to work together.

Explore customer ordering surfaces, the work behind an order and the systems your team needs to evaluate. The right configuration depends on the channels, locations and partners selected for your project.

  • Customer surfaces
  • Operational workflows
  • Integration planning

01 · Build

Choose the customer ordering surface.

Start with the place customers will order, then identify the menu, store and service choices that need to be configured for that experience.

02 · Operate

Map the work behind an order.

Identify the store workflow, fulfillment handoff and team visibility your operation needs before selecting the products and connections to configure.

03 · Connect

Identify the systems that need to connect.

Use the integration layer to identify the point of sale, payment, delivery and customer systems that require a project-specific compatibility review.

04 · Extend

Discuss how the platform should extend.

For technical teams, the extension conversation starts with the customer surface, data flow and responsibilities that the project needs to preserve.
