Real-Time Order Tracking for Modern Restaurants
Real-time order tracking gives everyone — your kitchen team, your delivery staff, and your customers — a continuous, accurate view of where each order stands at any given moment.
Every “Where is my order?” call takes a staff member away from their work. In a busy Friday service, these interruptions compound — slowing the kitchen and frustrating customers who called in the first place. The tracking layer sits within a complete restaurant management platform — so every status update feeds the same system your staff use to take orders, manage stock, and process payments.
Whether you run a single high-street restaurant, a cloud kitchen, or a multi-branch group, the live tracking system keeps operations synchronised without manual updates, phone checks, or status calls.
From Order Received to Doorstep — Every Step Tracked
Kappino maps each order through five clear stages, with live timestamps and automated status updates at every transition.
Order Received
Order enters the system via your online ordering platform or POS. The kitchen and manager are alerted instantly. The clock starts.
Kitchen Confirmed
KDS acknowledges the ticket. The kitchen begins preparation and the order status updates on the manager dashboard.
Rider Dispatched
A rider is assigned from the driver dispatch queue and departs. Live GPS begins. ETA is calculated from the current route and updated continuously.
En Route
Rider location streams live to the manager dashboard. The restaurant owner can see exactly where the rider is and whether the delivery is on schedule — all without calling the rider. ETA updates dynamically based on real traffic conditions.
Delivered & Logged
Rider uploads a proof-of-delivery photo via the rider app. Delivery is confirmed with a timestamp. Full order history saved for review and dispute resolution.
Built-In Rider App for Last-Mile Delivery Management
Kappino’s delivery management software includes a dedicated rider app that connects your dispatch dashboard directly to every driver on the road — closing the loop between kitchen dispatch and confirmed doorstep delivery.
Manager-Controlled Rider Assignment
When a delivery order is confirmed, the manager selects a rider from the list of available drivers on the dashboard. Login credentials are generated and sent to the assigned rider — ready to go with no back-and-forth. The assignment sits within the same order management workflow your staff already use.
Rider App Dashboard
The rider logs in with the credentials sent at dispatch and sees their assigned order, delivery address, and route. The app is purpose-built for in-field use — fast to load, minimal inputs, and optimised for mobile. Rider credentials tie back to the same account structure used across the restaurant POS and back-office.
Live GPS Tracking for Restaurant Owners
Once the rider sets off, their GPS position streams live to the restaurant owner’s dashboard. You can see exactly where the rider is, the estimated arrival time, and whether the delivery is running to schedule — all without calling the rider.
Live ETA on the Manager Dashboard
As the rider moves, the estimated arrival time recalculates based on live traffic and current rider position. The manager sees an accurate, continuously updated ETA on the dashboard — so they always know whether a delivery is on track before any issue escalates. Post-delivery, the delivery record feeds into the restaurant CRM automatically.
Proof of Delivery (POD) Photo Upload
On arrival, the rider captures a photo of the completed delivery directly inside the app. The image is timestamped, geotagged, and stored against the order record — giving you verifiable proof of delivery for every single dispatch. Eliminates disputes and protects both the restaurant and the rider.
GDPR-Compliant Driver Data Handling
Rider GPS data is processed only during active delivery windows. Location tracking stops once proof of delivery is submitted. Fully compliant with European data protection requirements for employee monitoring. Part of Kappino’s wider commitment to data standards across the platform.
The rider app is native to the platform — no third-party delivery integrations, no separate subscriptions. Restaurants operating at pace, whether fast food and QSR outlets or franchise delivery networks, own their last-mile operation completely.

Built for European Data Standards from Day One
Kappino’s GPS tracking layer gives managers a live map view of all active riders — with route progress, delivery timestamps, and proof-of-delivery records — built with full GDPR compliance as a core requirement. The same data standards apply whether you are running a single site or a restaurant chain with locations across multiple cities.

Only the data needed for tracking is processed — no unnecessary personal data collection from riders or customers.
Transparent Processing
GPS data is collected only during active delivery windows and used solely for operational tracking purposes.

Configure how long order, tracking, and proof-of-delivery data is retained before automatic deletion.
Rider Privacy Protection
Location tracking stops the moment proof of delivery is submitted. Rider data is never retained beyond the active delivery session.
