The challenge

Where the business was stuck.

  • Operations, finance and HR were running on disconnected tools, spreadsheets and chat groups across multiple outlets.
  • Outlet managers spent more time on admin and reconciliation than on service and team coaching.
  • Roles at HQ and in outlets had grown organically, with overlapping responsibilities and unclear ownership.
  • No single source of truth for daily sales, rosters, inventory or staff records.

Our approach

How we worked the problem.

  • End-to-end business process diagnostic across outlets, HQ ops, finance and HR.
  • Redesigned core workflows — opening/closing, cash and sales reconciliation, rostering, payroll, onboarding.
  • Job redesign for outlet managers, supervisors and HQ functions to match the new operating model.
  • Designed and built a custom superapp consolidating operations, finance and HR onto one platform.
  • Phased rollout across outlets with train-the-trainer and embedded floor support.

What was implemented

The work that shipped.

  • Custom superapp covering daily ops checklists, sales & cash reconciliation, inventory, rostering, payroll inputs and HR records.
  • Rewritten SOPs for outlet operations, finance close and HR processes.
  • Updated role scopes and KPIs for outlet managers, supervisors and HQ teams.
  • Reporting dashboards for outlet, regional and HQ leadership.
  • Train-the-trainer rollout and onboarding curriculum across all outlets.
