Organise retail food service with bespoke software solutions

At Bright Byte, we specialise in delivering bespoke digital solutions that help businesses streamline operations and improve the customer experience. One of our key clients, Oazis, required a comprehensive system to manage shift workers and deliver essential services while they were at remote sites. Our expertise enabled us to develop a bespoke system that integrates food ordering and meal planning directly into their shift management application. This system not only increases efficiency but also improves the overall experience for remote workers.

The Retail Shift Management System

Oazis is a company that provides remote workforce management for employees working on large industrial or isolated projects. These workers often face challenges in accessing meals and services. The Oazis Shift Management System is designed to solve this problem by providing a seamless way to manage:

• location information: Workers can track where they are assigned and access details about the location.
• Technical requests: Employees can easily create support or technical requests for issues in the field.
• Food services: Employees can order meals ahead of time, bypassing the canteen line, and even receive discounts on pre-ordered meals.

By integrating all of these functionalities into one app, the Oazis System increases efficiency and reduces the logistical challenges workers face during their shifts.

Integration with local food service

One of the outstanding features of the Shift Management System is its integration with a local food service system that handles meal preparation, storage and payment processing. Our solution involved integrating this third party system into the existing infrastructure, allowing for seamless ordering and payment of meals.

Key features of the integration:

• Meal pre-order and payment: Employees can pre-order their meals directly from the app, avoiding long queues and ensuring their meal is ready when they arrive at the cafeteria.
• Discount Management: Pre-ordered meals come with a discount that is automatically applied when the employee places their order through the app.
• System Integration: Our development team has integrated the app with the local point-of-sale system, enabling instant meal check-in and payment.
• Real-Time Updates: The integration also ensures that workers and cafeteria staff have real-time access to the status of orders, ensuring smooth service and faster transactions.

This integration has improved efficiency in the cafeteria, reduced waiting times and provided cost savings to employees through discounted pre-ordering.
