In today’s fast-paced coffee industry, seamless operations and exceptional customer experiences are vital for success. Five Flies Coffee, a thriving specialty coffee shop, wanted to expand its services by offering event bookings and online reservations but faced challenges in managing these efficiently. That’s where Howard Consulting Company stepped in to develop a custom software and automation solution tailored to their needs.
