Save On Labor Costs With Self-Serve Kiosks For San Francisco Cafes & Restaurants

by PRC Agency PR

Did you know that San Francisco has the highest concentration of restaurants per capita in the USA, at 3.9 restaurants per 10,000 households?

While that's great news if you want a variety of restaurant options - it's less great if you're a restaurant owner, because that is a lot of competition.

In a market that crowded, getting a slight edge over the competition can be the difference between making it or breaking it, but what kind of investment can you make that will not only attract some new customers but also make your job easier?

Technology is the answer - it usually is. The problem is, while you want something new, shiny, and exciting, you also want it to be safe, cost-effective, and if possible, labor-saving.

My suggestion, based on a decade of experience in the food industry and several decades as an appreciative customer, is to take a middle-ground.

You can attract new customers with some kind of advanced technology, like a self-ordering kiosk that's proven safe and effective, while still avoiding the ultra-new, potentially dangerous technologies, like AI chatbots, or image generators.

I know, kiosks don't sound very "advanced," but they're getting a lot better than you might expect. Applova is currently making a version that has tons of advanced features built-in already, such as intelligent recommendations, customizable interfaces, and automated upsells.

If you haven't seen their kiosks yet, take a look for yourself. Visit https://applova.io/kiosk/ and schedule a free demo to learn more.

The kiosks aren't just a fancy new toy to attract new customers of course - they're highly advanced tools that will start to show you immediate results. Right away, you'll find changes in your productivity as you no longer need to take customer orders, and the kiosks are surprisingly good at recommending additional items based on what others have purchased, and the items currently in a customer's cart.

To do this, the kiosks automatically track customer behavior and previous orders, so they can know which products to place at the front of the menu, or in other high-visibility locations. This continuous learning feature has been shown to provide two benefits: helping your customers quickly find popular menu items or modifications, and allowing you to advertise popular meals automatically, with no effort required.

Applova will work with you to customize the messaging and imagery of your kiosks, to make sure they match your restaurant. That means you get custom messages, custom menus, and custom images - you could even throw in a few jokes if you think your customers would like that.

When it comes to accepting payments, it couldn't be easier. The kiosks are compatible with all major payment processors, including Clover, Square, Toast, and NCR Aloha.

Of course, your individual results will vary, but Applova kiosks have been shown to help reduce labor costs and can increase individual ticket sales by 20 - 30%, using a combination of upsells, intelligent recommendations, and product placement strategies. If you think a self-ordering kiosk might be a good fit for your restaurant, why not ask for a free demonstration?

All you have to do is fill out a quick form on their website, with no cost or obligation, and they'll get in touch to show you how it works.

Judging by their online reviews, it's easy to see why they're the go-to solution.
