01What needed changing

One order moves through the till, the kitchen, stock and dispatch, yet these were separate tools. New order sources had to open on top of a point-of-sale and kitchen stack already running live service, without breaking trading.

02Decisions we made

What we chose, and why.

01

Route every order source into one queue.

Marketplace, storefront, WhatsApp, phone and walk-in orders all land in one queue, so a new channel is a configuration change.

Five order channels, each normalised, landing in one fulfilment queue

02

Send it to the kitchen once it’s paid.

An order only becomes kitchen work when its payment state is on it.

03

Model stock as physical movement.

Warehouse, transfer, venue, used at the kitchen’s ready-for-handoff point, with every movement in one log.

What running it taught usTreat the stack as one system answering one order event, and a new order source becomes a configuration change instead of a rebuild.
