Quick Answer
To serve 100 or more customers reliably, standardize your offer catalogue, order format, payment confirmation, fulfilment status, and support escalation. Automate repeated steps only after the manual process is accurate.
Find the capacity bottleneck
Measure where orders wait: first reply, package selection, payment confirmation, delivery, or support. Fix the slowest step before increasing promotion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need staff before reaching 100 customers?

What should I automate first?
Automate the highest-volume repeated step with the clearest rules, while keeping errors visible.
