Contactless Solutions
The pandemic has significantly shifted the way restaurants operate and how customers interact. It was once normal to walk into a restaurant & ask for a table, now we have to deal with the increase in health & safety measures before even accommodating a single guest.
Contactless dining is a restaurant dine-in experience that allows a guest to view the menu, place orders & make payments, without interacting closely with a server or touching shared public surfaces. Better order accuracy Reduce the number of physical items your guests touch Remove the costs of printing throwaway menus Increase guest satisfaction Faster table turnaround Empower your guests to order when they want without pressure
Remember that guests come for the experience Make guests feel welcomed Be attentive to their needs
(navigating the menu, finding something new to try)
Encourage them to use the app to order exactly what they want
Eliminates miscommunication between guest & server; saving the kitchen time & reduces waste
*they might feel they are judged about substitutions
Make staff training a priority
Assure them of the steps you've taken to keep them safe *space out seating, table hand sanitizer
Consult with guests on menu & beverage pairings High-quality images & descriptions will increase engagement ALWAYS keep smiling
When writing item descriptions for menus, trying using adjectives like "Locally Sourced" to influence & grabs their attention! Also adding in key words like “vegan”, “gluten-free” or “organic” on your menu will help them find dishes to meet their needs!

Helpful Tips QR Codes
There are quite a few FREE QR code sites that can generate one for you **but make sure you check to see if they have a daily limit on scans Double check on your ambiance, if the tables are dimly lit, then your QR code might not be easily accessible
Running a Tab
App8 allows you to automatically close the tab at the end of the service & automatically gives the server a 15% tip Also, they have a "timeout" feature, that if someone hasn't placed an order within 1 or 2 hours because they left or forgotten about it, then the tab will be closed
Tips
Customers have happier experiences paying at their own pace & not having a server there "breathing down their necks" as they try to figure out how to calculate the tip App8 has created a highlighted section with a predetermined tip amount but a guest can also add in their own % or $ amount
Digital Menus
You don't need a long narrative when describing common beverages/menu items - keep that space free for items you really want to call out Make sure you have all of the menu options, whether paid or free. A quick note: if guests add in "extra instructions" in the "special instructions" section it will cause disruption in the service. With App8, you have the ability to add in a lot of menu choice options

Tips for Optimizing your Social Media to Increase Online Ordering
What can you do to keep up? You’ve already implemented online ordering, but now it’s time to do more. . .Two words: social media. Using social media to your advantage will help you reach a massive market of gen-Z and millennial consumers. This tech-savvy group of consumers is one of the most important markets for the restaurant industry today and could be critical to your success and growth during and after the pandemic. All that being said, here are 5 tips to help you leverage social media to increase your online orders.
GRAB YOUR GUESTS’ ATTENTION WITH HIGH-QUALITY FOOD IMAGES Nothing triggers a food craving like seeing a mouthwatering photo on your social feed. According to a recent study by Snappr, you can increase your orders on restaurant ordering apps by 35% by simply including high-quality photos of your food. Make sure each and every picture you post on social media is eye-catching and clear; this means taking it in a well-lit area with a clean, uncluttered background. Take pictures with your food as the centrepiece and think about how you can grab someone’s attention while they are scrolling through social media. MAKE ORDERING EASY BY SETTING UP YOUR FACEBOOK CALL-TO-ACTION BUTTON Imagine this: your guests are scrolling through Facebook when all of a sudden they stumble upon a mouthwatering photo of your food. They head to your profile to place an order but realize that they have to leave Facebook. They decide to finish browsing, quickly forgetting about their spontaneous hunger and all the hard work you put in to make your food look so appetizing. Now imagine that, instead of having to leave Facebook, your guests can order or book straight from your Facebook page. All you need to do is change the big blue call-to-action button at the top of your page to better suit the action you want your visitors to take. It’s easy: 1. Navigate to your page and click the grey button under your cover photo 2. Select “Edit Button” from the drop-down menu that appears 3. Choose your desired call-to-action, such as “Start Order” With this button, your visitors will be redirected to another tab where they can start their order right away! MAKE IT EASY TO PLACE AN ORDER BY LINKING YOUR MENU TO YOUR INSTAGRAM Remember the customer that saw your food on Facebook but decided to finish browsing their feed instead of ordering? Well now they’re on Instagram and the same thing is happening! Luckily, there’s also a way to let your customers order food straight from Instagram.
Your followers will now be able to order your food through the “Order Food” button on your Instagram profile. Don’t stop there though—you can also put this button in your stories! Remind customers of the great food you offer and make it even more tempting by making it just one click away.

increase in the number of Canadians making food orders at least once a week, totaling around 4.2 million people!* According to Restaurants Canada
79% gen-Z consumers & 71% millennials
order food or beverages from a restaurant at least once a week
SERVE YOUR GUESTS BETTER BY FILLING OUT YOUR PROFILES COMPLETELY Whether you’re building a new profile from scratch or updating existing accounts, make sure your bio is complete and comprehensive. There’s nothing worse than having a visitor that’s ready to buy from your restaurant give up because they can’t find basic details! Put your important information front and centre so that guest feels confident placing an order. Make sure your profiles include:· Hours of operation {and COVID restrictions} Current offering {dine-in, takeout, delivery} Link to your website {that goes directly to your order page} Address {or addresses, if you have more than one} Contact information {email, phone #, social media} Reservations {do you take them?}
On Instagram: adding an email address or phone number to your bio generates a button that users can click on to call or email you. This makes it super easy for your guests! On Facebook: you can add other important information for your customers such as cuisine type and price ranges. EARN YOUR GUESTS’ TRUST BY RESPONDING TO REVIEWS ON FACEBOOK Did you know that 90% of guests do research online before visiting a restaurant? That’s why it’s essential to enable Facebook reviews on your business page so that new customers feel confident about placing an order with you. To enable reviews on Facebook, follow a few simple steps: 1. Navigate to your page and select “Settings” on the left-hand side 2. Select “Templates and Tabs” 3. Select the “Reviews” tab 4. Flip the switch to enable visitors to leave reviews of your restaurant To make the most of this function, you need to respond to your reviews as well. Tell your positive reviewers that you appreciate their time, and tell your negative reviewers that you’re considering their suggestions. Onlookers will see that you truly care about your customers, bringing them one step closer to ordering from your restaurant.
The instructions to set up food orders on your Instagram business page are as follows (coming from the official Instagram website): 1. Go to your Instagram profile 2. Select “Edit Profile” 3. Under “Public Business Information”, tap “Action Buttons” 4. Under “Select a Button” choose “Order Food” 5. Select a partner for your business’s food orders 6. Add the relevant menu link 7. After you’ve entered the website, tap “Done”
