Latest Podcast | Restaurants Pivot To Contactless Solutions Across The Board
Laurent May, our Head of Ready chats to The Barron Report about the new reality of the restaurant industry, and how essential the implementation of technology is for their business operations.
In wake of COVID-19, many restaurateurs have had to quickly shift their food-service efforts to third-party delivery and take-out platforms, with many now starting to feel the pinch that fees are putting on their bottom line. The balance has begun between remaining open, and preparing for operational improvements to radically alter the dining experience for the better in the longer term, with many businesses using this time as an opportunity to revise their digital and POS strategy.
Ready is a fast, flexible and affordable first party ordering and payment platform that’s ramping up the deployment of contactless curbside or store pick-up solutions for restaurants seeking technology that all but removes the need for people to handle menus, cards, payment terminals or cash ever again.
Laurent also discusses what on-premise dining may look like and details how Ready’s Pay at Table solution can cater to this scenario.
“As we head into recovery mode, virtual kiosks, mobile pay-at-table, and designated curbside pick-up will be strategies operators should consider for survival. We expect to see adapted models such as order-ahead and table mapping to maintain social distancing and respect dining preferences”
