About the Client
SpiceHut Kitchens is a prominent mid-sized Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) chain operating across the USA with 85+ outlets and a team of over 250 store-level employees. Known for consistent flavors and quick service, the brand serves a high-volume customer base across multiple cities.
Business Impact
SpiceHut Kitchens faced growing operational challenges as it scaled. Fragmented SOPs, delayed audits, and a lack of real-time visibility hindered consistent service delivery. Nimap’s end-to-end digital operations platform transformed how the brand managed its store-level execution, compliance, and reporting, resulting in higher process adherence, reduced risks, and faster issue resolution.

The Challenge
SpiceHut Kitchens was managing operations across numerous outlets with outdated and manual processes. Key issues included:
- Inconsistent SOP Execution: Opening/closing routines varied by location.
- Manual Audits: Area managers relied on time-intensive physical visits.
- Compliance Risks: Hygiene and safety protocols were not reliably enforced.
- Limited Visibility: The central office lacked real-time data.
- Delayed Escalations: Operational issues were often identified too late.
“Nimap gave us full control over what’s happening in every outlet. From safety to SOPs, we now run tighter, cleaner operations—and it shows in our customer feedback.”
