The incorporation of technology into the
customer experience has resulted in several well-known restaurant brands
making headlines lately
Some of the benefits that technology can offer restaurants are
improved order accuracy, higher revenues, and in-store entertainment
options. One example of the latter is Chili's, where patrons, at many
locations, can now play trivia games with each other and order drinks from
devices at their table. Applebee’s
made public, at the conclusion of fourth quarter 2014, that they plan to
deliver 1,800 tablets to restaurants throughout 2015.
In France, patrons can now order a Big Mac
directly from their mobile device for future in-store pick up at McDonald’s.
This ability to order directly from their smart-device eases the anxiety and
pressure some customers might experience as they peruse the menu in the
drive-thru lane. As a result, the option to
order remotely has “significantly increased the average revenue per order”,
according to market analyst Thomas Husson.
This
type of “self-service” mechanism is not a new phenomenon in business. Banks
have long relied on ATM’s as a convenient means to service their customers
after hours, while big-box retailers such as Walmart introduced self-check-out
kiosks at their stores years ago. However, until recently, technology has not
played as large a role with fast-casual restaurants, and they have relied
largely on employees to render services.
