Free ordering system for your restaurant

When to use restaurant ordering software?

The restaurant industry changed a lot due to COVID-19. Staffing shortages in the hospitality business are forcing restaurants to simplify the way they take orders. A QR code that guests can scan allows them to order straight from their phone. Research also shows that your guests order up to 20% more when they use an interactive menu. Using an ordering system could also help you get more orders ahead of time. Offering a free order ahead system could boost sales during the holiday season for example.

Is contactless ordering software a good alternative?

A contactless ordering system is a great alternative to printed menus. Due to inflation and other factors a lot of restaurants have to continuously update their pricing. Similarly, Issues with the supply chain could even force restaurants to completely update their menu. A digital ordering system is always up to date and:

• Allows you to offer what you have in stock
• Give discounts on certain items
• Communicate which items are sold out
