A great menu is only half the battle. The way an order travels from kitchen to customer—and how issues get resolved along the way—defines the guest experience. Fusion Serve was built to remove the guesswork with real-time communication, scheduled logistics, and data-rich dashboards that keep every stakeholder in sync.
Always-On, Two-Way Communication
- In-App Chat: Customers can message both the kitchen and their assigned driver directly in the Fusion Serve app.
- Live Status Updates: Each party sees live order milestones—“Cooking,” “Ready for Pickup,” “En Route,” and “Delivered.”
- Issue Tracking: Any problem (missing item, address change, traffic delay) is logged instantly so the kitchen, driver, and customer can adjust on the fly instead of swapping phone calls.
Weekly Scheduled Pickups
- Predictable Windows: Vendors can offer designated pickup days and time slots—ideal for recurring corporate or campus orders.
- Batch Efficiency: Grouping orders into scheduled pickups reduces driver wait times and lowers delivery cost per meal.
- Auto-Reminders: The app nudges customers 24 hours before their slot, minimizing no-shows and last-minute changes.
