<\/h1>\n

Some restaurant owners might view a mobile app as a project they simply don\u2019t have time to take on.\u00a0 We think it\u2019s the opposite way, however \u2013 a restaurant can\u2019t afford to have a mobile app.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 The efficiency and profitability gains are just too good!\u00a0 Read on to find out how mobile apps can make a restaurant run more smoothly and generate additional revenue.<\/span><\/h2>\n
Mobile orders<\/strong>
\nWhen customers can submit orders through your mobile app, you cut down on lines, wait times, and employee order taking.\u00a0 By removing the human element, you can also reduce errors in orders, make it easier to record special requests and boost customer satisfaction.
\nAlso, as an added bonus, the average order price goes up with mobile orders!\u00a0 This is due to a number of reasons.\u00a0 First, people have all the time they want to decide \u2013 there\u2019s no rush at the counter to submit an order.\u00a0 Second, upsells can be set up automatically, making it easy to suggest natural add-ons that customers might not think of on their own.
\nThe result is bigger, more profitable orders that come into your restaurant automatically!
\nPromotions<\/strong>
\nWhen a customer has a mobile app downloaded on their phone, you can use push notifications to send them messages about special deals and events.\u00a0 This opens up a cost-effective new avenue for promotions and makes marketing a lot more efficient.\u00a0 You may not do away with the expense of mailers or circular ads completely, but mobile promotions will still provide an unbeatable bang for your buck.
\nReferrals<\/strong>
\nMobile apps make it easy for customers to refer friends through features that allow users to post to Facebook or tweet about orders.\u00a0 This helps you generate new business without any additional effort or cost.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t get more efficient than that!
\nLoyalty programs<\/strong>
\nWith a mobile loyalty program, you can offer a way for customers to earn rewards without having to remember to bring in a punch card.\u00a0 Mobile technology means that customers never miss out on rewards, and the administration of your program becomes easy and efficient.
\nReservations<\/strong>
\nMobile reservations are a must.\u00a0 They cut down on employee phone time, and give customers a way to make reservations, cancel if needed, and handle everything without having to yell over a busy restaurant.\u00a0 Time is saved and operations get that much more efficient.
\nMobile apps can make life a lot easier at your restaurant, but you can\u2019t enjoy the benefits if you don\u2019t have one created!\u00a0 To learn more about how easy it can be to have your own restaurant app, click here<\/a>.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
