4 Essential Benefits Of Self-Ordering Restaurant Kiosks

Restaurant owners are always looking for ways they can reduce overhead, increase sales and operate more efficiently. With the pandemic still wreaking havoc in many states and the current labor shortage, this has become even more important. Self-ordering kiosks offer a convenient and cost-effective solution to many of these issues. Here we take a look at four essential benefits of self-ordering restaurant kiosks.

Reduced Labor Costs

Kiosks act as an employee all on their own, allowing guests to place and pay for orders without any interaction with your waitstaff. This frees up a great deal of time for your servers to tend to other guests and can lower the number of staff members you need to keep on hand for each shift. Think about the amount of time your waitstaff spends taking orders and running payments. Kiosks allow you to operate smoothly with fewer employees on the payroll.

Advanced Menu Creation

Simply not having to continuously order paper menus can help reduce costs, but there are many other menu features that kiosks offer. You’ll be able to highlight your specials and most profitable dishes and include detailed descriptions without making your menu into a book. Kiosks also allow for high-quality images to be included and the ability to update your menu as your inventory dictates quickly.

Increased Average Order

Kiosks offer the ability to put targeted advertisements and upsells directly in front of your customers as they’re ordering. Since there is no need for guests to wait on a server, you’ll find that more food and drinks will be ordered in a shorter period of time. Kiosks can be programmed to walk customers through picking out add-ons and complementary items that will easily increase your average order.

Accuracy And Efficiency

Since your guests will be placing their orders electronically, it will cut down on the number of mistakes that can be made due to human error. It also ensures that guests can place orders for additional items at their leisure, making fulfilling those orders much more efficient. Kiosks also allow you to track inventory, ensuring guests don’t place an order only to be told that an ingredient or the dish itself is not currently available.
