Once you decide to invest in an on-premise food ordering service, it is imperative that several key features are integrated into its design. With these functions in place, customer satisfaction will increase while increasing efficiencies are increased as you get customers through more easily through your doors.
Below are the main characteristics that should be on your checklist when searching for an apartment:
Customize Your Menu Involve all aspects of menu customization so that the appropriate questions are always being asked when customers place orders, whether through forcing or optional modifications that force servers to ask specific inquiries when placing specific orders such as for hamburgers wherein a server may ask what method the customer prefers for its preparation.
Fire and hold. Create individual menu items which can be served at different time slots to customers dining in. For large parties that order appetizers followed by meals such as this, make sure they are delivered promptly at their appropriate times.
Tab preauthorization. Allow customers to pay for their drinks when they arrive at your bar, helping ensure their credit cards don’t go missing in this time-efficient method. It is especially advantageous in bars.
Discounts and Happy Hours. It is simple and quick to set up an hour-long happy hour or discount by creating an automated percentage or dollar amount discount at specific times of day or week.
Offline mode. An offline mode is essential to software! In case your Internet goes down, processing orders continues by switching into offline mode and continue functioning normally.
Combo selections. Create combinations from menu items like an entree, side dish and beverage by mixing and matching menu items that allow each component of the mix to move to various places such as bars or kitchens more freely and efficiently than before. It also saves on tasks in the kitchen itself!
Increase Security With Two Cash Drawers. Two cash drawers provide greater security by connecting to a shared POS printer/terminal, and employees can be held accountable by assigning each cash drawer individually to one server.
Self-Ordering Kiosks. Integrating self-ordering kiosks into counter service or as standalone options gives customers a convenient way to place orders, pay directly through it and deliver purchases straight into your kitchen.
Safety, efficiency and security should always come first in any restaurant setting; with these tips and procedures in place you should find daily operations easier and more streamlined than before.
