Overview
As a prominent independent coffee roaster based in Florida, Kahwa Coffee is renowned for being one of the largest in the state.

The Challenge
The primary concerns Kahwa Coffee aimed to resolve included:
Limited operational visibility
The limitation of their current FOCUS POS setup hindered a comprehensive overview of operations across all 15 locations, impeding efficient day-to-day management.
Inventory management challenges
Wrestling with the complexities of maintaining precise inventory levels across their extensive network of locations.
Manual processes
The challenges posed by extensive manual efforts in recording and managing inventory, items, and various payment methods. It would normally take up to 8 hours for all records to be updated and reconciled completely between 15 locations & HQ.
Automation challenges
A pressing need for an advanced system to streamline the tracking of payment methods, with a specific emphasis on automating the validation process for gift certificates.
