This is a story about how an auspicious restaurant tech called "Order Throttling" is making food delivery faster, fresher, and more efficient. And, satisfying hangry customers along the way.
Food delivery has become an undeniable staple in our lives. Over half of us consider it a regular part of our day, but that doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement. According to the National Restaurant Association, nearly 40% of consumers are hungry (pun intended) for new technologies that can streamline the process and get delicious food to their doorsteps even quicker.
This is where Curbit delivery tech comes in. Here's a look at two exciting advancements that Curbit developed to speed and scale the restaurant capacity management and food delivery experience:
Dynamic Order Throttling: Your Kitchen's Personalized Air Traffic Controller
Imagine your kitchen as a busy airport. Orders are flooding in, and your staff is working tirelessly to get food out the door. Dynamic Order Throttling acts like an air traffic controller, ensuring a smooth flow and preventing delays.
Here's how it works:
- Predictive Ticketing: This system uses historical data and real-time insights to predict how long it will take to prepare each order, down to the minute.
- AI-powered Adjustments: Based on these predictions, the system dynamically adjusts the flow of incoming orders. This prevents your kitchen from getting overloaded and ensures food is prepared fresh and fast.
- The Benefits: The result? Increased kitchen efficiency, fresher food deliveries, and happier customers. Dynamic Order Throttling keeps your kitchen running smoothly, reduces stress on your staff, and ultimately leads to a better overall capacity experience for everyone.
Kitchen Capacity Management: Unleashing the Power of Data
Data is king and in the food delivery business there's no exception for data-driven decision making. Kitchen Intelligence takes a deep dive into your operation's data to identify areas for improvement and optimize performance.
Here's what Kitchen Intelligence can do:
- Real-time Performance Monitoring: Gain real-time insights into order performance across all your locations. This allows you to identify any issues that might be causing delays or impacting customer satisfaction.
- Data-Driven Decisions: Kitchen Intelligence uses advanced statistical analysis to pinpoint bottlenecks and areas for improvement. This empowers you to make data-driven decisions that fine-tune your operations and product execution.
- Enhanced Efficiency: By identifying roadblocks and assessing kitchen efficiency, Kitchen Intelligence helps you achieve maximum throughput. This translates to faster order fulfillment times and a smoother overall experience.
The Smashburger Success Story

These issues negatively impacted the customer experience and loyalty.
