The Tech Stack of a High-Performing Dark Kitchen

The aggregator (Hubrise, Deliverect, Otter): It receives orders from Uber/Deliveroo/JustEat and sends them directly to the kitchen on a single screen. Essential to avoid managing three tablets that are ringing.

Kitchen screen (KDS - Kitchen Display System): No more paper tickets flying around and getting lost. Orders are displayed on screen, with a timer, color code (delay), and recipe.

The Dispatcher: An algorithm that assigns the order to the appropriate driver (if a clean fleet) or estimates the prep time so that the Uber driver arrives exactly when it’s ready.

Data analysis (Business Intelligence): What dish sells best on a rainy Tuesday evening? Data guides your purchases and promotions.

Marketing Automation: Automatically reactivate dormant clients.
