Question

A restaurant chain contracts a software provider to build and run a mobile ordering app. During onboarding, the provider asks the restaurant to supply accurate menu data, train staff on the kitchen dashboard, and gather customer feedback each month. The restaurant's operations manager questions why so much active involvement is required, arguing they are simply 'buying a finished service.' Which ITIL 4 concept best explains why the restaurant's participation is necessary?

Answer

Answer

A service offering means the consumer must fund all ongoing operational costs after go-live.
