The Food and Beverage Industry: Restaurants and Mobile Apps

Smartphone users are growing in number, and people are becoming increasingly dependent on their smartphones. Have you considered using this opportunity to increase your profits? In Singapore, PastaMania's restaurant app accounted for 50% of its total sales! That demonstrates the power of mobile apps.

Consumers often simply want convenience and to save time; being able to avoid queues is even better. A single mobile app can provide convenient services that encourage people to dine at your restaurant.

So how exactly can a mobile app attract diners to your restaurant? The answer is simple:

1.Restaurant information and menus: Help potential customers learn about your restaurant, its branches and the food it serves. This can build their interest and turn them into actual customers. You can even offer “daily recommendations” to encourage users to open your restaurant's app every day.。

2.Online ordering: Through an app, you can offer online ordering to significantly reduce the time customers spend waiting for their food, and even let them collect their orders as soon as they arrive. There are also several benefits for the restaurant: it can reduce staffing needs, organise order preparation more efficiently and reduce customer dissatisfaction caused by waiting. Customers are naturally happier when they do not have to wait. You can go a step further by combining this with delivery services, allowing customers to order takeaway on their phones.

3.Diner reviews: A review feature makes the app more engaging and useful, while also helping people wondering “what to eat“ decide on their lunch.

4.Points and rewards: Everyone likes a good offer. Being able to earn enough points to receive a discount is another appealing incentive!
