Mr Yum is an Australian-based technology company that offers ordering, payments, and marketing solutions for the hospitality industry. The platform allows customers to view menus, place orders, and pay for their meals directly from their smartphone or tablet, eliminating physical menus, cash transactions, and the need for waiting staff to take orders. In addition, Mr Yum provides data insights and analytics so restaurants can understand customer preferences and enhance their operations. Mr Yum’s focus on operational efficiency doesn’t stop with just their platform though. Internally, they saw challenges affecting the customer experience and opportunities to introduce automation:
With Superblocks, Mr Yum was able to build user interfaces for their Support team and select enterprise clients, enabling these groups to visualize restaurant data and make updates to backend configurations on their own.
The Support Admin Tool allows T1 and T2 Support to interact with customer data that was previously only accessible through SQL queries to CockroachDB. Using a series of Tabs, Tables, and Form components, a Support agent is able pull up restaurant guests and staff for a specific venue, search them by email or mobile number, and edit a particular user’s information. In addition, they can see all menu items, live orders, and issue deductions on their own, instead of making these requests through Engineering or writing their own SQL.
Mr Yum’s larger enterprise clients have hundreds of venues and thousands of staff to support. At this scale, routine changes like editing, updating, or adding new staff were time consuming as they depended on Mr Yum’s Support team to make adjustments manually. With Superblocks, Mr Yum created an application to allow these enterprise clients to manage these operations on their own. Now, they can immediately pull up all the staff for any one of their venues and make changes like bulk updating, removing, and creating staff within seconds instead of hours.
With the Superblocks On-Premise Agent, Mr Yum was able to connect securely to customer data stored in CockroachDB and S3, while receiving the latest UI features from Superblocks Cloud. Their SRE team can deploy and upgrade a single Helm Chart in minutes, instead of maintaining a full on-premise software installation.
Mr Yum’s previous Retool apps were hosted on a different domain and cluster per region, which required duplicating these manually across environments, introducing drift between applications. Superblocks Profiles enabled Mr Yum to integrate with all of their environments throughout the development lifecycle in a single application. They can now toggle the underlying data to show a specific region and environment (e.g., Staging environment in Australia or Production environment in Europe), instead of managing multiple applications per environment.
Combining sequenced event handlers with step based APIs made it easy for Engineers to connect frontend components to backend APIs with all the required business logic. They could also share these applications with end users like Support and enforce granular permissions with RBAC.
Mr Yum has been able to build applications 5 times faster with Superblocks compared to building from scratch. The tools have enabled their Support team to action customer requests in just minutes, ensuring a seamless dining experience for restaurant staff and guests alike.
