Four Smartphone Apps You Want to Have for Your Restaurant3 min read
The future of technology is bright indeed. We over here at Open, Inc. strive to stay ahead of the curve by bringing to you the latest and greatest digital fascinations in hospitality, precisely designed to streamline food service and management functions while increasing interaction with guests, and encouraging improved retention rates. The backbone if this method is the digital menu. However, we have also been hard at work developing some key smartphone apps and other apps that are aimed to enhance the dining experience for patrons while easing operations for owners and management.
Smartphone App: A smartphone is something that you can offer on your website, your social media outlets and on the app marketplace (as a free download) for your existing as well as prospective customers. With this nifty app installed on their smart device, they can browse your restaurant menu, view pictures of menu items, read about current specials, learn where you are located and use GPS to find your location, and even make a reservation, place a carryout or to-go order, and all from one device (can integrate customer experience via Facebook’s new Flow Chart user experience graph).
Reservation App: Want more reservations? Then offer a reservation app. With this app in place, patrons can find you online via social media hubs, your website and the on app marketplace. With a simple push of a button, they can effortlessly make a reservation at your restaurant. This reservation is then tracked in the iPad POS software – in real time – which automatically alerts your staff that a table has been booked for a specific time and date.
Restaurant Menu App: Show off your menu to all smart device users with a fabulous restaurant menu app in place. Wow guests as they are able to browse vivid and elaborate, high-resolution pictures of menu items, see what you have to offer as far as other amenities are concerned, and be enticed to dine out at your modern and digitally enhanced restaurant with state-of-the-art iPad menus.
POS App (for owners & management): Our POS app is installed on any tablets that host digital menus. The POS app receives orders from the menus and sends them directly to the kitchen. This integrates your tablet menus with the Open iPad POS system. When you have our all-in-one solution in place with iPad POS app, you can also remotely access the POS system via secure, cloud-based access from any tablet, PC or internet-enabled “smart” device (like your iPhone, for example). Access your iPad POS from anywhere and at any time. Always know exactly what is going on with your restaurant’s operations. Check on daily numbers, see who is working that day, what reservations you have in the system and so much more—all remotely, securely and conveniently.
