TECHNOLOGY AND RESTAURANT Technology made things easier in the food industry by simply placing an order with a few clicks only. Customers can easily customize the orders and make payments at their convenience. A Digital menu is one of the best ways to show the menu to the customers & decide accordingly. Technology support restaurants to improve sales and profits through revenue management. By subdividing a meal into its component sections, a manager can determine according to the demand or location for a particular restaurant. In adopting technology, managers must first conduct a financial analysis to work out whether the technology's costs are going to be quite offset by revenue improvements. If that financial calculation is favourable, and I am sure it will then management must consider benefits to both employees and customers and must also take into account employees' and customers' perceptions of the technology's utility and simple use. The manager of the restaurant can see the reviews on every meal and work accordingly. Reviews always improve the quality & boost the confidence of the restaurant and according to this manager of the restaurant got to know about the bestseller. How Technology works in the business   Technology and Restaurant link means boom. Applications and websites are one of the best ways to get connected because it is user friendly and anyone can access this. Customers go through the digital menu of a particular restaurant and place the order accordingly. It makes it easy for the manager to manage the menu and orders by CRM. Customization of the menu list, order and delivery products can handle by the Manager. Managers can go through the reviews of the customers at some time only after orders get delivered and improve the quality if needed otherwise keep it the same.  Let's come to data Appropriate technology, when utilized in conjunction with revenue management principles, can help restaurants of all kinds increase revenue and profit. In the USA alone, service restaurants account for about $180 billion per annum in revenue (National Restaurant Association). The food industry is worth $81 trillion globally, which also means there is still a lot more data here waiting to be processed and analyzed, providing an undeniable advantage, when applied.  The sale is directly proportional to profit Technology comes at a price, but it also can cause increased revenue and profit. Before adopting a specific technological system, a restaurant operator must assess potential benefits to customers and the restaurant and compare these benefits to the cost of the system. Technology always increases the sale of the restaurant if sales got increased then restaurant profit will automatically increase. Daily pop-ups and notifications increase the chances of ordering food. If customers get offers like daily offers, Weekend offers, festive offers, etc. then the sale of the restaurant will increase.    Controls in our hand The best thing about technology is that the operator can control the Website or app by sitting in the same place only. They don't have to ask the developer or technology team to operate the app or website. This helps to deliver the orders on time by giving approximate time to the customer and even if the restaurant won't have any product or end up with that then they can remove that product from the list or mark it as "not available". There are many more reasons to adopt technology in your business. Technology can speed service by reducing the order-taking time (through the utilization of preorders or handheld devices), advancing Food production (through the utilization of kitchen display systems), tightening service time(through the utilization of table management systems, or TMSs), shortening payment time(through handheld devices), and cutting turnaround (through the use of communications technology and TMSs). While faster service will almost always lead to improved customer satisfaction in quick-service restaurants and fast-casual restaurants.
