We delivered a branded pre-order journey with time-slot-based inventory, kitchen pacing, and high-margin add-ons, giving Circa a premium guest experience, smooth operations, and a repeatable framework for any seasonal surge. #### The Challenge Holiday takeout sounds simple – until you try to run it at scale. Demand spikes, lines stack up, kitchens get overwhelmed, and brand standards suffer. Circa’s F&B leadership set a higher bar: - Preserve the luxury brand experience end-to-end - Eliminate peak-hour bottlenecks - Offer premium upsells without adding friction - Provide clear pickup logistics for guests and staff - Produce clean data to plan future seasons ### The UrVenue Solution We implemented a purpose-built, white label branded pre-order flow tailored to both Circa and Barry’s customer base: #### 1) Branded Pre-Order Microsite A [white-label checkout](https://booketing.com/microsite/circawarehouse/event/1379/749759/?eventcode=EVE74975900020251127&_gl=1*17t011*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3NjI4OTY3MjkuQ2p3S0NBaUEyc3ZJQmhCLUVpd0FSV0RQam9ZUlhiN3lOMUI4SDVHdG0xeXNQY1VaYkxxWXQzeXBtZ1lVa3c0Yk5kNU5NTks2SXRQZzVob0MzT2dRQXZEX0J3RQ..*_gcl_au*MzIwNjk4MTU0LjE3NjE3NjkzODA.*_ga*MTQwMjgwMTY1OC4xNzYxNzY5Mzgw*_ga_KXK2CWKWFL*czE3NjI4OTY3MjgkbzQkZzEkdDE3NjI4OTY3NDQkajQ0JGwwJGgw) and content experience that looks and feels like Circa, no brand drop-off, no jarring redirects. #### 2) Time-Slot Throttling Orders are capped by interval (e.g., every 30 minutes) so kitchens can pace production and curbside stays calm. When a slot hits capacity, it disappears from guest options, no manual triage. #### 3) Menu Logic & Add-Ons Core packages (e.g., full or half turkey dinners) include sides by default; enhancements like Prime Rib and signature desserts are presented at the right moment to lift AOV without slowing checkout. #### 4) Payments, Confirmations & Ops Signals Guests receive clear pickup instructions and time windows; BOH/FOH get batch exports, manifests, and counts by slot to staff appropriately and execute fast handoffs. #### 5) Day-Of Execution Support Staff view slot-based waves with labels and counts. Guests arrive in staggered windows; handoffs are quick, consistent, and on-brand. ### Why It Works for Operators - Experience Protection: Slot caps prevent pileups and keep service standards high. - Margin Expansion: Add-ons and dessert placement increase average order value without friction. - Operational Clarity: Kitchens see demand by interval; managers schedule with confidence. - Brand Continuity: The journey looks and reads like your property, not a generic checkout. - Data You Can Use: Demand curves, attach rates, and slot sell-through inform next season and the next program. ### Three Seasons, One Playbook What began as a holiday initiative is now a repeatable commerce model: - Thanksgiving → Christmas → New Year’s → St. Patrick’s Day - Big-Game packages, March Madness Viewing Parties and event weekends - Valentine’s prix fixe to-go - Chef features and limited drops Once the rules are in place, product tiers, dedicated time slot logic, add-on architecture, and ops signaling, you can replicate the program across venues, concepts, and brands. ### Results at a Glance - Friction-light guest journey with clear expectations - Predictable kitchen pacing via interval caps - Higher value basket sales through enhancements and add-ons - Reduced day-of congestion and faster handoffs - Actionable reporting for next year’s planning and portfolio rollout ### Bring This to YOUR Property Given the success at Circa, we’re expanding this holiday-commerce model across our client portfolio by adapting flows for different brands, menus, and service rhythms. If your property is planning seasonal pre-orders or premium takeout programs, we’ll help you stand up a premium, data-driven experience that scales.
