4. Five Key Pain Points & Recommendations

Pain Point 1: Long Waiting Times during Peak Lunch Hours

• Recommendation: Introduce a dedicated online order preparation area to


handle pre-orders and third-party deliveries separately from walk-in customers,
speeding up in-store service.

Pain Point 2: Confusing Customer Flow for First-Time Visitors


• Recommendation: Improve store signage to clearly direct customers to the
salad bar first before heading to the cashier. Assign a staff member to guide
customers during peak hours to reduce confusion.

Pain Point 3: High Variability in Service Quality

• Recommendation: Implement additional training for staff to maintain


consistent service quality, even during busy periods. Consider adding digital
ordering kiosks to handle orders when staff are overwhelmed.

Pain Point 4: Limited Customization Information

• Recommendation: Display the available toppings and premium options more


prominently to reduce time spent by customers selecting their ingredients. A
digital menu board that updates in real-time can also streamline the process.

Pain Point 5: Inconsistent Experience between In-Store and Online Orders

• Recommendation: Ensure that the same high standards of food quality and
presentation are maintained for both online and in-store orders. Consider
implementing a quality control check for online orders to avoid errors.

By addressing these pain points, SaladStop! can improve customer satisfaction,


streamline service delivery, and cater more effectively to the diverse needs of its
customer base.
