Online ordering is changing the ways of the world. While restaurant owners gear up to take advantage of this ever-growing customer base, it is the responsibility of Delivery Platforms and POS providers to anticipate the requirements of restaurants and be prepared with apt solutions.
It didn’t take long for third-party delivery providers to become the industry norm. As the competition inevitably grows, restaurant operators will be more and more inclined to using multiple delivery providers. The natural next step is integration of these services; to make things easier, simpler and more efficient. As we all know, that is how technology works – it never stays stagnant for too long.
Large restaurant chains have been having to assign a staff member during peak hours exclusively to type in orders, thereby reducing the manpower available to serve customers. From the perspective of the staff, it is understandable why manual order entry isn’t all that popular as it reduces the opportunity for tips. Studies show that the integration brings down order processing time from an average of 3 mins to 30 seconds per order.
In the near future, your potential clients will certainly look at how “integration friendly” your delivery platform or POS is, before committing to your services. Leading platforms like Uber Eats are coming up with dedicated departments for setting up partnerships with Delivery Platform Integration providers such as Delivergate, to offer fully integrated solutions to their customers
