It's interesting to hear about the mobile ordering apps as well, being introduced at almost the same time. It seems like an automatic, since everyone has phones now. I can see a future not far away where I have a list of "favorite orders" at some restaurants, that I order with one click when I'm 5 minutes away.
- joezydeco 10y agoOne chain that I know of is developing a mobile app that will automatically trigger your order in the kitchen once you cross inside the geofenced perimeter of the store. No need to fumble with the app while driving.
- wccrawford 10y agoI've thought for a while that restaurants should have kiosks where you swipe your ID/card/whatever and it has a list of your preferences for the waiter/waitress, such as the fact that I always order water (no lemon!) to drink, so they can improve their service by just bringing that without asking. Add in allergies, favorite orders, and more and you've got a lot of info about your customers to help you make them happier. Plus you get some lock-in because they don't want to have to enter all that info into a new restaurant's system. I think this is the fast-food version, and that more restaurants will follow.
- reustle 10y agoYeah, I just hope I don't need an app for each restaurant :)
