Table Ordering Is Paving The Way For Contactless Dining

The restaurant industry is set to change post covid-19. The normal and usual setting diners experience in a restaurant will be altered. Diners will have to sit 2 metre apart, less staff will be working and diners will be ordering for themselves from their table. Some QSR’s have already been using contactless ordering solutions even before covid-19. This is in the form of self service kiosks or click and collect. However, it has never been more vital to provide a contactless experience than now. In addition, there are cheaper ways to do so than using these self service kiosks. After all, they take up a lot of space. The solution is table ordering. 

Table Ordering 

Many restaurants are now planning to use this kind of self-ordering technology. Table ordering can help to improve efficiency. It can also help to reduce queue times which eases the burden on staff resources and time.

In addition, a lot of customers prefer table ordering because it is so convenient. This touchscreen tech often appeals to the younger, tech savvy diners who are familiar with restaurant mobile-friendly ordering. 

This kind of ordering is also said to encourage customers to buy more food. This is because it is so similar to ordering from a mobile device. A huge benefit of this contactless solution is that it will boost restaurant sales.

Table Ordering Helps You Keep In Line With Safety Procedures

In the post covid-19 climate, contactless ordering will help restaurants to keep in line with the proposed safety guidelines. It will also help them to provide the highest standard of service. This can be done because staff to diner interaction is limited. Table ordering helps with the social distancing and hygiene standards. 

In addition, it can help restaurants to have a smoother reopening and a better customer experience. Governments continue to ease the lockdown requirements. As a result of this, restaurants are able to offer dine-in again. Therefore, there is a huge demand for these contactless solutions. In addition, with covid-19, restaurants have a responsibility to ensure health and safety measures are put into place.
