Context
Baloo Cafe is a cafe with a constant flow of customers and heavy consumption of raw materials across coffees, beverages and snacks. The operation is built on speed and volume.
The problem
Orders were placed based on experience, without a clear view of actual consumption. Variances in coffee, milk and consumables were spotted late, while the real cost per product was not always clear to management.
The intervention
Smart Apothiki was applied to track the consumption of raw materials and record stock in real time. The workflows were adapted to the logic of a cafe, without burdening the staff's daily operation.
The recording is built into the natural flow of the kitchen and the bar, without slowing down service.
The result
Management gained a clear view of consumption and costs. Orders became predictable and variances are spotted immediately.
What changed in operations
The cost of coffee and beverages stopped being based on gut feeling. The decision on ordering and pricing became a matter of data, not instinct.
