What is a Customer Facing Display (CFD)?

A Customer Facing Display (CFD) is what customers see as they pay at your restaurant. Often used in a fast food setting, or in quick serve businesses, CFDs can be customized to show different types of information that customers might find useful. 

 

Aside from displaying a detailed breakdown of all the items purchased by the customer, additional details such as price, tax, tip amount and more can also be shown. 

 

Offering a clear list of all the items that have been ordered by a customer allows them to check if their order is correct and that they are not being charged incorrectly. This ensures that the checkout process is as smooth and customer-friendly as possible. 

How is Eats365’s CFD Different?

Eats365’s CFD offers a host of useful features that lets restaurant merchants customize what their customers prioritize for the best checkout experience. Aside from offering the usual things like item list and price breakdown, restaurant owners can also choose to include any of the following: tax rates, customer member loyalty details, total price and more. This transparency adds convenience and a better customer experience. 

 

Another unique feature of the Eats365 CFD is the ability for customers to select a green receipt, whereby receipts are directly emailed to them. Merchants can also display loyalty program details whereby customers can participate in and interact with loyalty programs to boost patronage. On the staff-side, it is easy to rectify order errors and let customers look at their order details during checkout. This ensures a smooth checkout process and builds trust between your business and your customers. 

 

Finally, our Customer Facing Display is fully-integrated and works seamlessly with other modules like the Eats365 POS to show useful order details to customers. Eats365’s CFD is also a wireless solution and easy to set up.
