How Placeholder Group consolidated four marketplaces onto one canonical order graph

An eight-week pilot replaced four provider tablets with a single Cateniq KDS — and turned month-end reconciliation from a two-day project into a Friday afternoon.

The problem

Four marketplaces, four tablets, four exports — and a back office spending two days at month-end to reconcile commissions and refund evidence. Refund disputes were lost almost weekly because evidence trails were stitched together from screenshots.

The pilot

A four-week pilot replaced the per-provider tablets with a single Cateniq KDS, wired the existing Epson and Star printers into the new print client, and connected real provider sandboxes for menu and order writes.

What changed

  • One canonical surface for every channel
  • Refund evidence linked to a signed QR token on every receipt
  • Channel mix and AOV available the moment service ends

What is next

Eight more sites are queued for the next quarter, alongside a deeper integration into the group’s finance system for commission reconciliation.

“We stopped reconciling refund evidence by hand the day we switched.”
