Future of Contactless Self-checkout at Food Places
Covid-19 is a word that has shaken the entire world.Meeting and greeting our friends and family has become a distant thought now because social distancing is the new normal.
With digitalization taking over the market with a storm, the hospitality industry is welcoming it with open arms, and one such pro service available in the market is Fastor.
Highlights
- Fastor is helping restaurants and other food places execute their regular operations with zero contact and 100% safety.
- This offline to online technology is designed in such a way that customers wouldn’t need a physical menu card, they can simply use their unique QR code placed on the table to automatically be directed to the menu without even downloading any app, and place their order digitally.
- The interface of the service is user friendly, and the customer can see the entire menu digitally, place the order, and self check-out by paying through the app itself.
- An all-in-one solution, Fastor, not only provides the user with a digital menu for the food place but also lets them pay for their order through its wallet and UPI. All you need to do is SCAN – the QR from the menu, ORDER – your choice of food, and PAY- your bill, all at the same place.
- The technology basically creates a win-win situation for both the restaurant and the customer, as not only is it providing a safe dashboard for conducting the operations, it is also encouraging an increase in the footfall, lowering the labor cost, increasing the profits and boosting the confidence of the customer to go out and socialize, without worrying about unwanted physical contact.
- It also looks after the restaurant owners by helping them manage their tables and layout, manage their headquarters and counter, and also by providing them a detailed order analysis that can further aid them in increasing their sales during low times. Plus, the restaurants can come up with dynamic deals to attract customers through the app itself.
- Entertainment, education, transportation and even the retail vertical are benefitted.
- Contact-less buying and selling likely will lead to a greater introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) and other approaches to personalize the interface.
