WHO has recently declared the Coronavirus (COVID19) as a pandemic. Due the sudden increase in numbers worldwide. Countries are also locked down.
The impact of the virus outbreak has negatively affected businesses all around the world, especially those in the frontline service sectors. This is due to a few reasons:
1) People are avoiding lunch or dinner gatherings to minimize the risk of catching the virus, resulting in a drop in dine in customers.
2) Lack of tourist means a loss of a huge demographic for an F&B business
3) Workers in other countries are not allowed to return to work due to stay home notices, or the country being on lock down.
Getting your business through the pandemic
Even though we are unable to do much about the lack of tourist, there are measures we can take to tackle the manpower shortages or lack of dine in customers.
Pre order and pick up
Businesses are not totally shut down, meaning that there are people heading to work and home. Using mobile ordering, customers are able to click on a link through your social media platforms, or scan a QR code to self order then pick up their food on the way to work or home.
This minimizes the time spent in queues waiting to order food, and your customers will not have to wait 20 - 30 minutes for food delivery.
Reducing dependency on manpower
Through self order kiosks and mobile ordering, you reduce the amount of staff needed to take orders from customers, or man the order taking terminals. The staff you have on hand can be redeployed to guide customers who are unfamiliar with self order solutions, therefore reducing your dependence on large amounts of manpower.
Not just for virus outbreaks
Mobile ordering and self order solutions are not just useful during times like these, they are also of great help during peak seasons. For example, handling high volumes of orders without increasing manpower for order taking, increasing order size through add on suggestions, creating a sense of belonging within existing staff as you redeploy them for other tasks, etc.
