5 Must Have Technologies For Your RestaurantTechnology is ever-changing and constantly evolving, and that is no different for the restaurant industry, especially as restaurants adapt to new regulations and mandates following reopening. Here are a few technologies that your restaurant needs.

Self-Ordering

Contactless ordering is becoming hugely popular in many restaurants, from fast-casual to fine dining. It can help reduce contact during the dining experience, which is a huge safety concern for restaurant staff and restaurant patrons. This can be accomplished with kiosks at the front of the restaurant or even individual tablets placed at each table.

Pay At The Table

Along with contactless ordering, pay at the table is another technology aspect that can help reduce contact in a germ-laden world. By using the same instruments, you use to accomplish self-ordering, you can reduce cost as well as contact between customers and staff even further. Frequent sanitizing of these items is important to keep safety at the forefront..

Touch Screen Point Of Sale

Instead of a traditional cash register, a touch screen point of sale solution is a great way to give your restaurant the boost it needs. It can help reduce errors in items ordered as well as reducing errors in reporting and even inventory. It will also save your staff time, so they have more time to tend to customer needs.

Kitchen Display Screens

Paper tickets can get lost, be read wrong, and are a huge environmental waste. Adding screens in your kitchen that can display orders to your staff will help streamline the cooking/prepping process and reduce errors and food being sent back to the kitchen.

Digital Waitlist/Reservations

Making your hostess’ job easier is just one of the benefits of using a digital waiting list and reservation tracker. It will also help keep your restaurant organized and keep people from walking out when they see how busy your restaurant is. A digital waitlist allows people to wait virtually for their table so they can be occupied elsewhere while they wait.
