RESTAURANT MUST-HAVES: TECHNOLOGY AND HARDWARE TO IMPROVE BUSINESS & BOOST SALES
The restaurant industry has changed itself due to new technology and evolving guest preferences in the past few years. Now guests want their food fast without waiting in a queue for long. They look for various options from delivery to takeout and dining in the restaurant itself. A lot of them also want restaurants to meet all their dietary restrictions while living up to their expectations and taste preferences.
These shifts in guest preferences emerged mainly when the restaurant industry adopted technologies and hardware as important parts of their daily business. In order to meet constantly changing demands of modern customers, restaurateurs should continue investing in new technologies to stay up to the minute with industry trends.
With so much to offer, however, it might be overwhelming for a new restaurant entrepreneur to understand where to start. That’s why, in this blog, we’ve compiled a list of most frequently used restaurant technology and hardware solutions to help you run your restaurant business more efficiently with strong focus on delighting the guests.
Touchscreen Point of Sale Terminals The high volume of cash and credit cards that pass through a restaurant each day makes a POS system a necessity. Touchscreen POS terminals are only designed to increase efficiency. They withstand the harsh conditions of the restaurant with durable hardware and ensure that your business operates without any teething troubles. Most Touchscreen terminals are powered by restaurant POS software that’s designed with an insightful and easy-to-understand interface to make the restaurant functioning fast and hassle-free.
Touchscreen POS terminals simplify the order taking process, allowing you to process more orders faster and generate more revenue.
Handheld Point of Sale Systems Having a handheld POS system for your dine-in restaurant is as essential as having a well-equipped kitchen. With handheld POS, the need to take further rounds of customer tables to collect and return their remaining cash (if they have paid in cash) would be eliminated.
A handheld POS systemallows for at-the-table ordering and streamlines operations by allowing guests to order and pay right at the table, resultantly improving ordering speed. Keeping handheld POS at the restaurant, you can not only increase the number of customers you serve but also fulfil the maximum orders in each shift.
Self-Order Kiosks In an industry that’s subject to high margins, competition and failure rates, what restaurant owners need is a secret weapon that can help tackle all three. What’s that? A self-order kiosk – which is considered a terrific tool for the modern-day restaurateurs.
With its easy-to-use interface and top-notch digital experience, more and more restaurants are placing self-order kiosks for guests in their stores. It provides guests with more control over their order processing, hence, making it easier for them to review the menu, take their time and customise their food orders accordingly.
Besides improving the guest experience, a thoughtfully designed kiosk with a user-friendly interface helps your restaurant increase the quantity of orders while eliminating long queues and boosting productivity.
Kitchen Display Screens Depending on your restaurant’s needs, printed tickets might not be your best option to let kitchen staff know about guests’ orders. Instead, the new age technology like kitchen display screens should be used to keep the things moving swiftly in the kitchen and throughout the entire restaurant.
Mounted on the wall, kitchen display screens allow the kitchen staff to see all ongoing orders on one screen which helps keep the kitchen more organised and orders to be fulfilled correctly and on-time. This is especially true for fast food establishments.
Printers A full-service restaurant requires POS along with printers (both thermal and kitchen) to provide receipts to customers and order slips to kitchen staff.
A thermal receipt printer is used by the front-desk staff to provide receipts/bills of customer orders. It prints receipts quietly and faster than traditional impact printers.
This type of printer doesn’t use ink and instead, heat the paper to create characters and images on thermally sensitive paper.
A kitchen printer, on the other hand, is also quite common in the restaurant industry and catches the attention of cooks and chefs with its loud printing process which helps them to know about their upcoming order. It prints in different colours, which can be used to highlight certain specifications on slips, asked by guests.
Cash Drawers The importance of cash drawers can’t be emphasised enough in the retail and hospitality sector. If you still don’t have one in your restaurant, it’s a wise decision to invest in a quality cash drawer to get the best out of your POS operation. It stands strong and remains important to storing and managing cash.
For a more modern approach and to keep your cash drawers safe, connect it with your POS system, so that all the transactions can be recorded in the POS.
To sum up, to run a successful restaurant business, you need to keep up with the latest technology and hardware used in the industry. And with everything right in place, you can enhance your customer experience and boost sales.
