How are you managing your restaurant’s rush hour? Try a Takeaway Kiosk

Take the rush out of the hour with a takeaway kiosk. ‘Rush hours’ are a mix of happy and tensed feelings for every restaurateur. While they are excited about the fact that their restaurant is doing good business, they are also worried about how they would be able to provide the best experience to their customer.

The sight of a movie theatre’s food counter at the interval time is a perfect example of a rush hour. The primary area of struggle is the billing section. Everyone wants to get their order before the movie resumes and the weight of providing a fast billing service often pins down the restaurant owner. The speed of the billing systems slows down the entire operation and results in confusion at the counter.

Restaurants too face a similar problem, especially on festive days such as Christmas or Valentine’s Day. They fail to provide a table to the heavy rush of customers ending up in loss of business as well as customers. This is the ideal situation for turning from the traditional dining table set-up to the remote table set-up. Yes, that’s right. At a time when our regular lives have moved on to a lot of activities that can be done remotely; dining too can join the bandwagon.

If you are wondering how is that possible? A takeaway kiosk is your most appropriate answer. This does wonders, in terms of customer retention and increases the business numbers surprisingly. In the initial stages of these takeaway counters, the primary problem was the time that a customer had to wait. The reason behind this was the slow billing process. Fortunately, however, this problem has been eliminated with the inclusion of digitization.

A takeaway kiosk is now equipped with technologically advanced mechanisms that reduce the hold-up time of a customer and render them a happy and satisfying experience. The time taken to place orders through a kiosk reduces the time taken by a good 50%, therefore, adding speed to the process. Additionally, errors are completely removed because orders are placed by the customers themselves.

Thinking of a kiosk we understand it is about expensive hardware. But in reality, a QR Code-based self-ordering system and mobile-compatible POS are the two major contributors to the solution of this problem. The customers as well as the restaurant staff are gratified for the addition of these tech-savvy mechanisms that have eased out the billing process drastically.
