Why QR code systems are changing the hospitality industry

Less stress, more service - for everyone involved

Relief for staff

Waiters who run instead of serving - an image that is probably familiar to many restaurateurs. But QR code ordering avoids exactly that. This is because a large part of the ordering process now runs digitally and autonomously. This means that staff finally have time again for what really counts: personal service.

Advantages for your team:

• Less walking
   
• No stress with pad & pen
   
• More focus on advice and guest satisfaction
   
• Relief at peak times
   

Higher turnover due to more orders

Yes, you read that right. On average, guests order more when they are in control. Why? Because there is no pressure. No one is standing next to the table. Time for extras, upselling, repeat orders - all with just a few clicks. Studies show: Digital menus with good design and images increase the average order total.

Shorter waiting times = happier guests

Long waiting times are the ultimate mood killer. With a self-ordering system via QR code, these are largely eliminated. Guests order as soon as they are ready - not just when someone has time. The kitchen receives the order in real time. Fast. Efficiently. And above all: without misunderstandings.

A look into the future: digital is the new normal

QR code ordering as a competitive advantage

Gastronomy is changing. What used to be a nice-to-have is now a must-have. Guests are used to doing everything on their smartphones - from buying a movie ticket to ordering a pizza. So why not do the same when visiting a restaurant?

Digital ordering systems show that your business is thinking modern. They signal efficiency, transparency and innovative spirit. And those who impress digitally stay in people's minds - and are recommended to others.
