Inaccurate orders refer to delivery orders with missing or incorrect items, deviating from the customer's order. This can include missing main or side items, receiving incorrect items, or getting the wrong quantity.

Why is this Important?
Ensuring order accuracy is crucial as customer satisfaction significantly impacts a restaurant's success. Dissatisfied customers may share negative experiences, potentially seeking refunds, affecting the restaurant's reputation and revenue.
