QUESTIONS TO TEST
1. Pizza modifier rules
Ask: Can half-and-half pies, crust, size, extra toppings and price rules render correctly on every channel?
Demonstrate: Submit a large half-and-half pie with a premium topping on one side, then compare POS, kitchen ticket and online receipt.
Observed result:
Follow-up:

2. Peak order pacing
Ask: Can the kitchen throttle pickup and delivery promises during a rush?
Demonstrate: Accept ten orders, set a capacity limit and check that new channels receive realistic times instead of overbooking the oven.
Observed result:
Follow-up:

3. Kitchen labels and routing
Ask: Can tickets identify the right pie, customer, station and pickup/delivery method?
Demonstrate: Send similar pies for two customers and verify labels, make-line routing, changes and void history.
Observed result:
Follow-up:

4. Channel and payout reconciliation
Ask: Can online, marketplace, dine-in and refunded order totals reconcile to fees, tax and payouts?
Demonstrate: Simulate one marketplace promo and one direct order refund; compare gross sales, fees, tax and bank deposit.
Observed result:
Follow-up:

DEMO SCENARIO (SYNTHETIC)
Stress-test a Friday rush and a sold-out topping
1. Build the actual menu with sizes, crusts, topping groups, half-and-half rules and channel-specific availability.
2. During a simulated rush, accept counter, web and marketplace orders until the configured oven capacity limit is reached.
3. Mark one ingredient unavailable, change an order and verify all channels, labels and kitchen stations reflect it.
4. Close the shift with a refund and marketplace promotion; reconcile tax, fees, tips and payouts.

MIGRATION
Plan a controlled data move
Import menu and modifier trees, channel mappings, delivery zones, taxes and fees, customer and gift-card balances, open orders, kitchen stations, staff permissions, marketplace connections and accounting IDs. Reconcile a test day with half-and-half pies and refunds across direct and partner channels before changing the live menu.

A POSSIBLE FIRST BUILD
Ordering software does not guarantee allergen accuracy, food safety or safe delivery. Keep verified ingredient and allergen information current and have trained staff confirm changes with customers.
