How our AI-OMS Saved 80+ Staff Hours for a Multi-Location U.S. Café Chain

Inner Header Image Street Brands

Our client is a beloved, fast-growing café chain in the United States, known for its warm atmosphere, loyal customer base, and consistently high-quality experience across locations.

Customers don’t just visit for coffee, they come for the ease of placing orders and excellent service. As the brand expanded into multiple outlets, maintaining that same level of satisfaction became their top priority.

The leadership team strongly believed that growth should never come at the cost of customer experience. To preserve their service standards while scaling operations, they reached out to WebOsmotic to help build a smarter, future-ready ordering system powered by AI.

Goals, Final Analysis & Consultation Summary

As the café grew, so did the volume of incoming phone orders.

During peak hours, staff had to manage walk-in customers, brewing stations, payments, and phone calls, all at the same time. Small miscommunications occasionally led to incorrect orders.

They wanted to make effective use of AI to help them with order management, so the staff can focus on customer satisfaction.

  •  Managing high volumes of incoming phone orders without overwhelming staff
  •  Ensuring accurate order capture during busy rush hours
  • Maintaining menu consistency across multiple outlets
  • Synchronizing updates between locations in real time
  • Ensuring kitchen teams received orders clearly and reliably

They needed an intelligent system that could protect customer experience while supporting operational growth.

Working closely with their leadership and operations team, we designed and developed a complete AI-Powered Order Management System (AI-OMS) tailored to their multi-location setup.

The goal was to automate intelligently, without disrupting the warmth of their customer experience.

Here’s what we built:

1. AI Voice Agent for Call Handling
We implemented an intelligent AI voice agent that automatically answers incoming customer calls. Here is how the AI-OMS works:

  • Answers calls instantly, eliminating hold times
  • Presents store-specific menus based on the selected outlet
  • Understands customer selections through natural conversation
  • Captures and confirms orders in real time
  • Submits finalized orders directly to the backend system

2. Centralized Admin Web Application
To give the leadership team complete operational control, we built a secure, React-based admin panel.The system enables:

  • Secure login with role-based access
  • Centralized multi-store management
  • Real-time activation or deactivation of menu items
  • Instant synchronization between menu updates and the AI voice agent


This ensures that what customers hear on the call always reflects real-time availability across locations.

3. Scalable Backend Infrastructure

Behind the scenes, we engineered a robust backend system powered by Node.js and PostgreSQL. The backend:

  • Processes and stores all incoming orders securely
  • Maintains structured menu and store data
  • Enables real-time communication between AI, admin panel, and outlets
  • Supports increasing order volumes without performance compromise


The cloud-deployed architecture is built to scale seamlessly as the café expands.

4. Automated Kitchen Printing Application

To streamline in-store operations, we developed a dedicated desktop printing application using Angular and Electron. The application:

  • Automatically receives confirmed orders
  • Instantly prints kitchen tickets
  • Manages printer connectivity and reliability
  • Ensures consistent order delivery to kitchen staff

5. Real-Time System Synchronization
We engineered seamless communication between the AI voice agent, admin dashboard, backend APIs, and kitchen systems.
This ensures:

  • Menu updates reflect instantly across all systems
  • Orders flow without delay or duplication
  • Data remains consistent across locations
  • The entire ecosystem operates in real time

In just 3 months, WebOsmotic delivered production-ready, fully-integrated AI-OMS. The impact was immediate and measurable:

  • Reduced manual phone order handling by nearly 70%
  • Reclaimed 80+ staff hours per month per location, allowing teams to focus on in-store customer experience

In addition, customers now experience instant call responses and a smooth, guided ordering process. Menu updates reflect in real time across all locations. Kitchen tickets are printed automatically and reliably, eliminating communication gaps during peak hours.

What was once a staff-heavy, interruption-driven process is now a streamlined, AI-powered ecosystem operating in the background.

Most importantly, the café can continue expanding without increasing operational complexity. New locations can be integrated seamlessly, and the system scales alongside the business.
