How many steps are required to place an order in your restaurant currently? Having the waiter deliver a menu, coming back to take the order, confirming the order, punching in the order into a POS (Point of Sale) system, delivering that order to the kitchen…that’s at least 5 steps and a whole lot of costly training just to take one customer’s order! Instead, let your customers scan a QR code, access your menu directly on their own devices, place their orders and have it all sync right to your Eats365 POS in one simple step!
Scan-to-Order (BYOD)
Fast, Efficient Orders with QR Codes, Straight from the Customer’s Phone
Instead of making your customers wait to be served, digitize your restaurant’s order flow, so they can begin the ordering process with QR codes immediately. Scan to Order (or Bring-Your-Own-Device technology, BYOD) requires no additional hardware purchases. Within seconds, your customers will have your menu ready on their phone and won’t have to stress about getting served in a timely manner - even if your restaurant is filled to the brim and bustling!
How Scan-to-Order (BYOD) Can Help You with Self-Ordering
Faster Orders Means Happy Customers
Few Staff, Faster Table Turnover
Your staff are a precious resource, so use them where it matters most. With your customers in charge of placing their own orders, you can run your restaurant with fewer members of staff that can all specialize in high-skill tasks, rather than having to hire staff to complete repetitive tasks like delivering menus, taking orders, punching them into your POS and delivering order tickets.
Orders Placed Correctly the First Time
Who knows your customers better than themselves? Instead of having your wait staff running back and forth to correct errors, let the customer scan QR codes and order directly on their mobile devices! With self-order options enabled in your restaurant, you can be certain they’ll order exactly what they want, with the correct modifiers and options selected the very first time.
Greener Ordering Process
Save the hassle, cost and environmental damage of printing hundreds of paper menus that will end up being handled by multiple customers and staff members. With convenient scan-to-order menus, the hygiene standards in your restaurant immediately improve while your paper consumption instantly decreases.
Sell More with QR Code Menus!
The great thing about a non-paper menu is that you’re not restricted by physical space. Let your customers interact directly with your QR code menu so they can see mouth-watering photos, enticing descriptions, and clear icons to spark hunger and engage with more of their senses. Your digital menus all sync automatically, too, across all relevant Eats365 modules, so you don’t need to manually update your menus and solution each time you make changes. Now, instead of just a few lines of boring text, your menu can be far more immersive and engaging, increasing the likelihood of the customer to increase their order size!
