About Shopify:

Challenges restaurant managers face with e-commerce via Shopify
Running an online store alongside a restaurant offers great opportunities but also challenges:
-
Missing synchronization between online store and physical operations → Inventory is not always updated in real-time, which can lead to out-of-stock items or duplicate orders.
-
Limited insight into profitability → Many restaurants selling products online don't have a full overview of which items actually generate the most profit after shipping, fees, and inventory costs.
-
Staff scheduling challenges → Increased sales via Shopify can add extra strain on kitchen or inventory, but this is often not included in staff planning.
-
No connection between online orders and financial system → Without good integration, online orders must be handled manually in accounting, increasing the risk of errors and extra work.
-
Difficult to predict demand → Without data-driven insights, it's challenging to know when to run campaigns, order new items, or adjust production for e-commerce.**
