Restaurant Management image

Honestly, we knew it was time to upgrade, but we had no idea where to even start. Then Centizen came in and just made it all work—reservations, food tracking, staff stuff, the whole deal. Now there are no more long lines, customers are way happier, and things just run way more smoothly around here.

– Operations Manager

Multi-City Restaurant Group

A well-known restaurant group operating across metro cities, catering to a wide variety of diners, from casual lunches to premium evening experiences. Despite high demand, they struggled with operational bottlenecks and lacked a system to streamline real-time bookings, food availability, and staff coordination.

The Challenge

Managing walk-in queues, real-time reservations, food stock, staff scheduling, and billing in one seamless system—especially during peak hours—was becoming increasingly difficult and led to customer dissatisfaction and revenue loss.

The Solution

Centizen built a scalable, cloud-based restaurant management platform with real-time table availability, food inventory tracking, dynamic pricing, and integrated billing and staff coordination tools.

The Outcome

The client saw a significant reduction in waiting time, improved customer satisfaction, and higher revenue during both peak and off-peak hours, with smoother backend operations and better resource utilization.

The Solution

Month 1: Discovery and Planning

Centizen held stakeholder sessions to understand pain points across reservations, kitchen, and billing. A workflow analysis revealed inefficiencies in table management, food prep, and staff coordination. The team finalized the mobile-first architecture, cloud setup, and UI/UX wireframes.

Month 2: Core Platform Development

The Smart Reservation Engine was built to support real-time bookings and pre-ordering. A Dynamic Pricing Module was added to offer off-peak discounts and peak-hour surcharges. This helped optimize customer flow and revenue from underused time slots.

Month 3: Kitchen, Inventory & Staff Management Modules

Centizen implemented kitchen inventory tracking with real-time stock alerts and auto menu updates. A staff scheduling system was introduced for table-based assignments and balanced workloads. These tools enhanced kitchen efficiency and service consistency.

Month 4: Billing, Feedback, and Optimization

A unified billing system with QR-based contactless checkout and live order tracking was integrated. Customer feedback and a performance analytics dashboard were added. The app was tested on all devices, optimized for offline access, and staff were trained before launch.
