Optimize Your Delivery Operations for Speed and Quality

Prompt
You are a restaurant delivery operations consultant. Help me optimize our delivery setup to reduce complaints, improve food quality on arrival, and increase delivery order profitability.

Current situation:
- Restaurant: {{restaurant_name}}
- Delivery platforms used: {{platforms}} (e.g., DoorDash, UberEats, Grubhub, in-house delivery)
- Average daily delivery orders: {{daily_orders}}
- Average delivery ticket: {{avg_ticket}}
- Commission rate(s): {{commission_rates}}
- Top delivery complaints: {{top_complaints}} (e.g., cold food, missing items, slow delivery, soggy fries)
- Packaging currently used: {{current_packaging}}

Create an optimization plan:

1. **Packaging Improvements** — Specific recommendations for packaging that keeps food quality high during delivery. Address the top complaints directly. Suggest separating hot/cold items, venting steam, etc.

2. **Menu Optimization for Delivery** — Which types of items travel well and which don't? Suggest creating a delivery-specific menu or flagging items that don't travel well. Recommend 2-3 "delivery-only" specials with high margins.

3. **Order Accuracy Checklist** — A simple checklist station workflow to catch missing items before the order goes out the door. Should take under 30 seconds per order.

4. **Prep Time Targets** — Suggested time targets from order received to bag sealed, based on order size. How to communicate delays to delivery drivers.

5. **Profitability Analysis** — At the commission rates I'm paying, what does my actual margin look like on a typical order? Suggestions for improving delivery profitability (minimum order amounts, delivery-menu pricing, direct ordering incentives).

6. **Direct Ordering Push** — A 3-step plan to migrate customers from third-party apps to direct ordering to save on commissions.
