Process automation involves the use of technology to streamline and automate routine tasks, reducing manual effort and potential for errors. But what types of processes can be automated in kitchen retail, and how can this lead to operational excellence? Let’s delve deeper.

Inventory management: Automation can provide real-time inventory updates, preventing overstocking and understocking, reducing waste, and ensuring the right products are always available.

Order processing: Automated systems can streamline the order process, from placement to fulfilment, enhancing speed and accuracy, and leading to a better customer experience.
