The Proof Is in the Data: How Curbit Optimizes Restaurant Order Flow

Restaurants often struggle with late or early orders that disrupt kitchen efficiency and frustrate customers. Whether it’s a delayed delivery leading to unhappy guests or a takeout order ready too soon—causing food to sit and lose quality—precision in order timing is critical.

At Curbit, we don’t just claim to improve restaurant performance—we prove it. The data speaks for itself. Below, we’ll break down key insights that show how Curbit is transforming restaurant operations, improving order accuracy, and ultimately enhancing the customer experience.

Reducing Late Orders: 4.14 Minutes Saved Per Order

This chart highlights a crucial improvement: restaurants using Curbit experience significantly fewer late orders.

Without Curbit, restaurants missed their promised times by an average of 5.84 minutes.

With Curbit, that delay was reduced to just 1.70 minutes. 🐸

That’s a 71% improvement in timing accuracy! Over time, this adds up to major efficiency gains and a better guest experience.

Why This Matters

• Better customer satisfaction—Orders arrive when expected, leading to positive reviews and repeat business.
• Less kitchen stress—more predictable workflows mean smoother operations for staff.
• Higher delivery platform ratings—Many third-party apps prioritize restaurants with strong on-time performance.

Hitting the “Goldilocks Zone” for Order Timing

The second graph demonstrates how Curbit keeps orders within the optimal timing window—what we call “The Goldilocks Zone.”

This zone represents the sweet spot for food readiness: not too early, not too late, but just right.

Without Curbit, orders were much more inconsistent—either arriving too soon or too late, creating inefficiencies.

With Curbit, orders clustered tightly around the -2 to +2 minute window, ensuring food is hot and fresh when customers receive it. 🐸

The Impact of Precision Timing

• Less food waste—orders aren’t sitting around waiting for pickup.
• Higher driver efficiency—Couriers arrive at the right time, reducing delays.
• Consistent quality—Customers get their food exactly as intended.
