The challenge
What did Rahaf Cafeteria And Restaurant need from online ordering?
Rahaf Cafeteria And Restaurant needed one system to bill a long, busy day and to take orders directly, instead of by phone and WhatsApp. The restaurant opens at 5 AM and closes at midnight, seats only 16 and keeps its average bill near AED 15, so speed on every order matters.
Rahaf in Al Rashidiya, Ajman: the storefront and a Kerala meal from its kitchen.
A 19-hour trading day
Rahaf opens at 5:00 AM and closes at midnight, every day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner rushes all run through one counter and one kitchen.
16 seats, many takeaways
With 16 seats, much of the trade is takeaway and delivery. Before FoodChow, those orders came in by phone on 06 740 3733 and on WhatsApp on 058 162 5663.
A low bill, a thin margin
An average bill of about AED 15 leaves little room for a 25% delivery-app commission. Direct orders keep that margin with the restaurant.
A long menu to keep current
The menu runs from Kerala breakfasts and curries to shawarma, juices and falooda. Every price change needs to reach the counter and the online menu together.
