4 Reasons Why You Should Use Digital QR Code Menus
Digital QR Code menus are the future of dining experiences. The contactless approach of scanning a QR code that brings up a full, interactive menu places autonomy fully into the hands of your customers, and this can make eating out a more efficient and enjoyable experience for them. But having a QR Code menu has plenty of advantages for your business as well. From increasing your sales, productivity and efficiency, to ensuring a completely hygienic dining experience, we break down the 4 reasons why you should choose a Zabbit Digital QR Code menu for your bar or restaurant.
## 1. Boost your sales
Humans are visual creatures, and an interactive menu that showcases your food and drinks in a beautiful way is certainly going to increase customers’ appetites – and lead them to place more orders. The interactive nature of your digital QR Code menu also allows you to make recommendations, post daily specials and continuously update your menu with all your latest information, ensuring that your customers are always informed. This means you can upsell special food items that can in turn boost your sales and profits. And the best part? It’s all digital. That means no need to update a physical menu and keep reprinting new menus each time there’s a new item to add, effectively eliminating a major overhead cost.
## 2. Upgrade hygiene levels
It’s no secret that the coronavirus pandemic has turned many of us into germaphobes, and fundamentally changed the way we eat out. People are more mindful of social distancing and reducing unnecessary physical contact. On their part, bars and restaurants need to actively contribute to implementing safe public health practices. With a digital QR code menu, there will be no more need for physical menus to be passed around each table, virtually eliminating hand-to-hand contact between waiters and customers. This lessens contamination risks and improves general hygiene, as customers can now have full access to your menu via their smartphones. You can even take it a step further and allow them to order and pay their bill directly from the app too.
## 3. Improve Convenience
Digital QR Code menus are extremely convenient – not just for your customer, but for you too. Customers can browse at their leisure without having to wait for a waiter to bring along the menus, and take their time ordering without feeling pressure from someone looming over them. Additionally, the ease with which you can update your menu means that customers are immediately informed of any changes without having to wait around to ask a waiter. Finally, seamless navigation allows both your customers to handle their ordering and bill paying themselves, and you to stay top of your orders, receive notifications and manage payments all with the click of a button.
## 4. Increase Efficiency
Utilize your staff better by allowing them to focus on providing top-notch service rather than racing around taking orders and offering menus. Since you can update your menu in real time with simple click, wait staff (particularly new recruits) won’t need to memorize menu items or remember what is and isn’t available, and instead concentrate on creating a welcoming dining experience for customers. Since orders are immediately sent to the kitchen directly from the app, this reduces wait times and lessens the margin for human error on orders and, as a result, leads to fewer disgruntled customers. Finally, the multilingual offering of the Zabbit QR Code menus means that you can cater to an international clientele without the difficulty of a language barrier.
