4 REASONS RESTAURANTS SHOULD SWITCH TO A DIGITAL MENU The outbreak of COVID-19 has left a significant impact over many businesses across all sectors, and restaurants are no different. As restaurants across the country plan to gradually resume their dine-in operations, the key objective is to minimise the number of touchpoints across your premises to ensure highest hygiene and safety standards. Restaurants and F&B services have been leveraging digital technology over the years to streamline their operations, so there is no point in keeping “menus” – one of the most important parts of dining experience – untouched from a digital update, especially now that we are in the middle of a pandemic and aiming to reduce hand-to-hand contact. The shift from traditional menu cards to digital menus has already been in motion well before the pandemic, but it has gained more attention over the last year in light of health and safety concerns surrounding COVID-19 pandemic. Not only does moving away from physical copies of menus make sense in the current situation, but adopting a digital menu can benefit your restaurant business in more ways than you thought. Listed below are some reasons why digital menus have an uppers hand over traditional menus and how this shift can help your business. • CONTACTLESS OPERATION With a digital menu in place, guests can have a look into all the food items and beverages available, on their own mobile devices by scanning a QR Code on their table only. The reduced contact between the staff and customers, and any shared surfaces, gives customers peace of mind around health and safety concerns that will likely stick around for some time even after the pandemic. • EASY MENU UPDATES When your digital menu is integrated with the POS systems across your restaurant floor, you don’t have to worry about reprinting menus every time you need to make the slightest change. The staff can easily and quickly update a digital menu to reflect last-minute changes in real-time; this means reduced chances of disappointing customers by telling you are out of an item after they have already placed their order. • HIGHER EFFICIENCY Allowing customers to view the menu and place orders digitally help reduce manual effort while freeing up the time involved in taking orders from each table and minimising the back-and-forth between waiters and customers. When orders get transferred to the kitchen directly from customers without manual intervention, you can turn tables quicker and serve more people in a day. • ENHANCED CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE With clear HD photos displayed across the food items, a digital menu is more appealing to the eyes than a hard copy of traditional menu. If that’s not enough to encourage guests for impulse ordering, know that a digital restaurant menu can also be designed to suggest food items to customers similar or relevant to what they have been browsing. Even better, you can display most popular dishes and best selling items for that week, inducing your customers to increase their order value.
