3 ways to introduce technology in your restaurant
The events during the last months forced us to step back and self distance. Time to think about some strategies and changes, so we can adapt.
The only way to keep connection between us during the lockdown was using technologies. Mostly we've been using digital technologies - internet, web applications, sites, softwares etc.
That's when we found out, that digital technologies are going to be even more necessary. Restaurants and hotels were closed (phisically). But many of them were still working, because they used online payments, online orders and deliveries.
What does that mean? Digital technologies gave chance to many businesses, not to bankrupt and add changes for an actual devetopment.
And what do the customers think about it?
73% of the restaurants clients share, that technologies are making their interaction with the restaurants a lot nicer. (Deputy)
That's why TabL.BG comes to help - System for automatisation in running restaurants and hotels. We are giving you few ideas for technological development with:
Digital menu

74% of the clients share, that for them is highly important to have menu which is easy to read, in order, informative and interactive. (Sky Kit)
What's better than beautiful, interactive and easy to maintain digital menu? Your client will have the oportunity to have a look on it at anytime from anywhere. This option is suitable eather for present or potential clients.
- Present clients - will have the opportunity to choose what to order in your restaurant. Not only that, when they come to you, they can order it using our platform, so they can avoid queuing or receiving something different, because of human mistake. In case, that the clients are using the platform in the restaurant, their order will go straight in the kitchen, so the chefs can start working on it straight away being sure that no mistakes has been made.
- Potential clients - the digital menu is a way to attract new clients. Think about how many restaurants have a menu which is beautiful and has been written in lenght. Not many. This could be your advantage. Showing your dishes with full descrition, present prices, professional and attractive vision, you can win the choise of the client even before they came in your restaurant.
With the digital menu, you can controll the choice of the clients. You can also create some interesting promotions which you can show much harder, if you were using your old menu.
And also, to maintain the digital menu is much easier and takes less time.
Here are some advantages of using digital menu:

Every restaurant would make every process easier, if it has online system for reservations. In this case, Intelligent system. Using the help of properly created and very well overthought algorithm, you give your clients the opportunity to reserve tables in your place:
- For exact day and hour;
- With chosen amount of visitors;
- In chosen by them hall - summer garden, no smoking room/smoking allowed room;
- Option for table and tables combination.
- Location in the restaurant.
- Option to choose duration of their stay.
In the same time the system allowes you to be in charge of the reservations effectively. You can choose the amount of reservations for certain perion during the day. Imageine that you want only 5 reservaions for 19:00. You can set this condition and when all the 5 reservations are complete, the system will auto stop the option for reservations.
Doing it this way you safe time, effort, and you are using fully automatic process to reserve tables.
