For Contactless Order

COVID-19 has changed the lives of people as it has taught people the lesson of the importance of social distancing. Various food delivery apps like Zomato and UberEats have already moved to digital payments and contactless orders. The same approach is being followed by Amazon, Walmart, and many other vendors. Though this primary change is due to the arrival of COVID-19, as a precautionary measure, it seems like this procedure will continue to be followed even after the reopening of the market and hotels. For this reason, the reservation of the table and contactless order will be the new trend.

Now, the point to be noted here is that contactless order for the restaurant can be followed easily by building a mobile app for table reservations, taking an order, and accepting digital payments. Implementing such a feature will not only help social distancing but will also help in the increase of sales.

What if your customer is looking for a side table? The restaurant app will have map integration which will help the user to navigate the table they want to book. Users can leave a reservation request for the restaurant owners depending upon the date and time and the table specification.


3. Taking contactless order

Let the foodies order beverages and appetizers when they are booking a table or if there is a special occasion like birthday party or anniversary, let them order a cake so that they surprise their family at the arrival.

You can implement options like checkout and process payment for juicy steaks, delicious cakes, and yummy dishes.
