Showing 21 use cases
For Customers
Find the right cart and build an order in under a minute
Search and filter nearby merchants by category and open-now status, open a merchant to browse its products and services, and assemble an order ready for checkout — the demand-side entry point that makes the whole marketplace work.
For Customers
Checkout with pickup, delivery, or on-demand fulfilment
Turn a browsing cart into a durable order: choose pickup, delivery, or on-demand, add a delivery address when needed, see subtotal + tax + delivery fee − discount = total broken out clearly, and place the order so the provider can act on it.
For Customers
Follow an order from placed to delivered
Track an order through every status — placed, confirmed, preparing, ready, out-for-delivery, delivered — with an ETA, on a tracking page designed to be the post-purchase trust surface.
For Customers
Book a service — instant or scheduled — and track it to done
Book a bookable service from a provider — choosing instant “come now” fulfilment or a scheduled appointment — and follow it to completion, reusing the same order spine as products so providers manage one queue.
For Customers
Save your go-to carts and reorder in one tap
Save favorite merchants and products, find them gathered in one place alongside your order history, and reorder a past favorite in a tap instead of rebuilding the cart from scratch.
For Merchants
Get a merchant live and discoverable
Create a merchant record, set its category, location, hours, and offering type, and move it through verification to active — the foundation every other use case depends on.
For Merchants
Configure your storefront and open for business
Once a merchant exists, the owner configures how it sells — offering type, operating hours, and pickup / delivery / direct-service options — fills in business details and branding, and toggles the service Open so customers can find and order from it.
For Merchants
Build a catalog of products and bookable services
Give a merchant a catalog of sellable things — physical products and bookable services — each with price, optional discount, stock, duration, media, tags, and an availability toggle, so customers have something to order or book.
For Merchants
Run the day from one order queue
Give the supply side a single queue: see incoming orders, confirm them, move them through preparation to delivery (or cancel), and optionally assign a worker — with every transition recorded so customers can track it.
Operations
Run the business on data, not guesswork
Give merchants a clear operational and financial picture — total revenue, total and pending orders, average order value, active-customer counts, and average rating — so a small operator can run on the numbers.
Operations
Build a team and manage the roster
Let a merchant add workers to their roster, give each a role and a status, and manage that team — so work can be delegated as tasks and the business can grow beyond a single person.
Operations
Give ground staff their own view of the work
Give workers a focused view of the tasks assigned to them — deliveries, service appointments, prep jobs — each with type, priority, due time, location, and status, so owners can delegate and workers can execute and close out from the field.
Investment
Raise growth capital like a small company lists shares
Let a verified merchant publish an investment opportunity against their business — funding target, minimum investment, expected returns, lock-in period, risk level, and terms — so backers can fund the business. This is Kadaikodi’s signature differentiator.
Investment
Back local merchants and manage a portfolio
Let an investor browse listed opportunities, commit money into a merchant business, and manage the resulting portfolio — tracking invested amount, current value, realized returns, and a per-holding transaction history.
Operations
Payments, payouts, and refunds on one billing spine
Money moves in many directions across a marketplace. Kadaikodi computes order totals, tax, and fees server-side and takes payment at checkout today, and is building merchant payouts, settlement, and refunds on top of the platform’s billing rails — so customers, merchants, and investors share one consistent money spine.
Intelligence & Trust
Build the trust layer that makes the marketplace work
Let customers rate and review a provider after an order, let providers respond, and roll individual reviews into the provider’s rating and total ratings — so discovery and investment decisions can rely on reputation.
Intelligence & Trust
Make the marketplace intelligent
The target experience: predict demand by time and location, recommend revenue-maximising prices, surface the right carts to the right customers, and optimize worker routing — a headline differentiator described honestly as the vision, with current status kept clear.
Platform & Enterprise
Run the marketplace from one control room
Give the platform operator the control room: approve, verify, and suspend providers, oversee users and orders across the marketplace, watch financial and investment flows, and read marketplace-wide analytics — the supply/demand balancing function that keeps a two-sided marketplace healthy.
Platform & Enterprise
One identity, many roles — governed by RBAC
Run Kadaikodi as a governed, multi-role marketplace where one person can be a customer, merchant, worker, or investor — with every action scoped by role, every field protected by RBAC, and every change attributable, inherited from the Burdenoff platform.
Platform & Enterprise
Operate many merchants under one organization
Serve organizations that run many merchants — a multi-brand retailer, a cloud-kitchen chain, a campus food-court operator, a facilities company with field crews: manage a fleet of merchants under one workspace, see consolidated performance, and (roadmap) support corporate bulk ordering and contracts.
Operations
Clock in, work your shifts, and watch your earnings add up
Give field workers their own self-service surface: a shift schedule with dates, times, and pay, a one-tap clock in / clock out, and a live tally of today’s earnings, deliveries, completion rate, and rating — the worker’s side of the marketplace, distinct from the tasks an owner dispatches.
