Client Profile

The client is an American table service diner-style restaurant chain established nearly 80 years ago with over 1000+ locations around the world serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner round the clock.

Challenge

  • As many of its restaurants are located on highways and freeway exits, it is challenging for customers to place an online order through the website or mobile app while driving for curbside pickup.
  • Restaurants are open 24x7 and a large number of orders float in round the clock, so there was a need for agents to be available 24x7 to reply instantly for better customer service.
