  • Milk and pastry waste tracked on paper, differently at each shop
  • Price changes taking a week to reach all three sites
  • No reliable view of which drinks actually made money

How the switch went

  1. 13 Jan 2025Recipes and stock items set up with the customer
  2. 20 Jan 2025All three shops installed over two days
  3. 17 Feb 2025Central price control and waste logging switched on
Stock finally matches reality — we cut milk waste noticeably in the first quarter. When I need a price changed across all three shops I message on WhatsApp and it's done before I've finished my coffee.
