Résumé
Gastronomous deployed an Alpha version of the Ghost Coffee system into a client’s store for a three-month pilot; while the initial results were promising, the client provided substantial feedback highlighting areas for improvement—including the need to reduce the machine’s footprint, shorten cycle time by over 30%, integrate intelligent feedback for brew management, and enhance ergonomic design. This project is focused on re-engineering the Ghost Coffee system to meet these requirements for the upcoming Beta version, which is intended for a broader rollout across additional store locations.

Description
Gastronomous deployed an Alpha version of the Ghost Coffee system into a client’s store for a three-month pilot; while the initial results were promising, the client provided substantial feedback highlighting areas for improvement—including the need to reduce the machine’s footprint, shorten cycle time by over 30%, integrate intelligent feedback for brew management, and enhance ergonomic design. This project is focused on re-engineering the Ghost Coffee system to meet these requirements for the upcoming Beta version, which is intended for a broader rollout across additional store locations.
Description (French)
Gastronomous a déployé une version alpha du système Ghost Coffee dans le magasin d’un client pour une période d’essai de 3 mois. les premiers résultats ont été prometteurs, mais le client a fourni des commentaires substantiels mettant en évidence des points à améliorer, notamment la nécessité de réduire l’encombrement de la machine, de raccourcir le temps de cycle de plus de 30 %, d’intégrer un retour d’information intelligent pour la gestion de l’infusion et d’améliorer la conception ergonomique. Ce projet vise à repenser le système Ghost Coffee afin de répondre à ces exigences pour la prochaine version bêta, qui est destinée à être déployée à plus grande échelle dans d’autres magasins.
