The lack of a cohesive digital strategy and slow adoption of modern technology resulted in missed opportunities for customer engagement and market growth.

The Solution
To overcome these challenges, a comprehensive digital transformation plan was essential. Here are the key recommendations made for Grab & Go Restaurant:

Integrating a cloud-based accounting system like QuickBooks Online with the Moneris POS system streamlined financial management and inventory tracking.

Outsourcing digital marketing efforts to a specialized agency helped manage SEO, social media campaigns, and customer engagement activities, driving traffic and sales through the online ordering system.

Utilizing BI platforms like Power BI helped integrate data from the POS system, QuickBooks, and the website, facilitating informed decision-making.
