Foodservice Ordering Modernization: Replace Both U.S. and Canada Systems at Once, or Validate Order Accuracy, Search, and Release Cadence First with a Time-Boxed Canada Pilot?

Minerva judgment

Prioritize the time-boxed Canada pilot path, as it validates order accuracy, search, integration, peak capacity, and rollback under real but limited risk, avoiding the spread of unvalidated risk across both the U.S. and Canada simultaneously

The Ordering Transformation Committee chair convenes the platform, customer operations, and reliability teams to jointly define representative customers, peak and exception orders, data reconciliation, rollback, and scale-up thresholds and timelines for the Canada pilot

What would reverse the recommendation

If it can be demonstrated that the differences, capacity, and integration risks between the U.S. and Canada systems are actually very low, and six-month competitive pressure makes the cost of delay outweigh unvalidated risk, switch to replacing both country platforms at once.
