Case Study: Mangia e Bevi achieves 500 daily deliveries planned in five minutes with OptimoRoute

Modern Italian Kitchen Schedules 500 Deliveries in Five Minutes

Mangia e Bevi, a California-based Italian restaurant, pivoted during the COVID-19 shutdown to feed at‑risk seniors through the Great Plates Delivered program but quickly outgrew manual delivery planning. Faced with growth from about 40 orders to roughly 500 meals a day and a rapidly expanding driver pool, Mangia e Bevi turned to OptimoRoute’s route‑planning software — including workload balancing and real‑time order tracking — to manage the surge and meet special dietary routing needs.

OptimoRoute automated route planning and workload balancing so Mangia e Bevi could schedule 500 deliveries in about five minutes, evenly distribute drops across 30 drivers, and provide realtime order tracking to customers. The result: an 11x weekly increase in delivery capacity handled efficiently, fair workloads for drivers, improved customer experience through ETA visibility, and the operational stability the restaurant needed to sustain its community program — all enabled by OptimoRoute.
