The internet of things have boosted the connectivity and convenience of our daily lives. In the past, when we needed to access the internet, we had to have access to a personal computer and establish an internet connection through dial up.
Today, most of us have easy access to the internet from anywhere at any time through our smartphones, which is why you should leverage your customers’ personal smart devices and turn it into a food ordering channel!
Consumers nowadays want to be able to order their food from anywhere instead of just at your outlet. Especially with the uncertainty of sudden tightening and relaxing of Covid19 regulations and recurring waves of infections these days, omnichannel ordering is a tool you want to have in your kit.
By allowing your consumers to browse your menu and order online, it not only adds an income channel for your F&B business, but is also a great way to let potential customers know about your F&B business. This allows your potential customer to browse and understand your menu, try your food through ordering online and in the future, become your walk in customers.
The younger generation are getting increasingly tech-savvy as they grew up with technology at their fingertips. This will cause a shift in consumer behaviour where your new customer demographic gravitate towards digital ordering channels such as qr ordering, self ordering kiosks and self pickup and delivery online food ordering.
This is a strong reason to digitalize your F&B business and take up an omnichannel approach to ordering as you may lose out to your competitors who offer omnichannel food ordering as customer demographics shift toward the young tech-savvy generations.
By adopting omnichannel ordering through digital food ordering tools, you can attach attractive images to every option in your menu, which simplifies your the ordering process for your customers by allowing them to easily understand what your F&B business offers, which encourages larger order sizes.
Another way digital food ordering tools helps you boost order sizes is by empowering you to set up add on suggestions which automatically prompts when your customers places their orders, so that you never miss out an opportunity to upsell. Also, customers tend to react positively towards digital upselling as they do not feel pressured to buy more.
The pandemic has everyone on their toes when it comes to cleanliness and hygiene. Through omnichannel food ordering, you can do away with physical menus which have been passed from hand to hand. Contactless ordering also reduces contact between your staff and your customers and keeps everyone safe.
