Franklin’s Burger — Support Automation and Social Operations

Redesigned and automated the customer-support workflow for a 50+ location restaurant network, reducing the rolling average time to first resolution by ~85% — from 7 days 16 hours to 1 day 3 hours (14 September–23 October 2026).

Context

Franklin’s Burger is a 50+ location restaurant network where social media also functioned as a customer-service and reputation-management channel.

At that scale, the bottleneck was not simply content output. Customer complaints moved through multiple manual routing and follow-up steps, creating delays for guests and unnecessary operational work for the team.


The Bottleneck

The previous support workflow depended on several manual handoffs.

Requests arriving through social media had to be reviewed and sorted by SMM, forwarded through a senior specialist/moderator and then matched to the territorial manager responsible for the relevant restaurant.

Unresolved cases also required manual follow-up.

On 14 September 2026, the rolling average time to first resolution was 7 days 16 hours.

Before Workflow

  • Guest → SMM → Senior Specialist → Territorial Manager → Resolution.

The System

I redesigned the workflow and built an end-to-end customer-support automation system around it.

  • Automatically resolves typical questions and complaints where appropriate.
  • Collects required information for non-standard cases.
  • Routes each case directly to the correct territorial manager based on the restaurant.
  • Tracks statuses and case history.
  • Resurfaces unresolved cases automatically.
  • Supports manual takeover and direct guest communication.
  • Provides an admin interface for messages, operational control and analytics.

Process Improvement

The redesigned workflow removed two manual routing steps from the previous process: SMM sorting/processing and senior-specialist forwarding.

Instead of manually moving complaints through the organization, the system routed structured cases directly to the responsible territorial manager and kept unresolved cases visible until completion.

Before / After Routing

  • Before: Guest → SMM → Senior Specialist → Territorial Manager → Resolution.
  • After: Guest → Automated Support Workflow → Correct Territorial Manager → Resolution.
  • Manual routing and reminders became structured case collection, direct routing, status tracking and automatic follow-up.

Business Result

The rolling average time to first resolution fell by ~85% — from 7 days 16 hours on 14 September to 1 day 3 hours on 23 October 2026.

The improvement came from redesigning the workflow around direct routing, structured case collection, status tracking and automated follow-up.

The metric is the average time from registration to first resolution for the latest five resolved complaints on each date.

14 September 2026 · 7 days 16 hours · rolling average for the latest 5 resolved complaints.
23 October 2026: rolling average time to first resolution, 1 day 3 hours
23 October 2026 · 1 day 3 hours · the same rolling-average measure, approximately 85% lower.

Social & Campaign Leadership

Alongside the operations work, I developed and executed social campaigns and brand collaborations with Lay’s, Pikador, TV-3 and other partners.

I coordinated designers, copywriters and external contractors across social media projects and organized occasional creator and influencer integrations.

My Role

As Social Media Lead, I owned the support-workflow redesign from identifying the operational bottleneck through process design and implementation.

I also developed and executed social campaigns, coordinated designers, copywriters and external contractors, and managed occasional creator/influencer integrations.


What This Project Demonstrates

This project demonstrates how I approach social media beyond content execution: identify the business bottleneck, redesign the system around it and measure the operational result.

It combines social media leadership, customer experience, process design, automation and cross-functional coordination across a 50+ location restaurant network.
