Restaurant Integration Challenges

As restaurant operators and marketers, you need a variety of technologies to drive optimal performance for your brand. While there may not be a “one-size-fits-all” approach for your entire operation, you still need ways to optimize the customer experience, drive higher sales and lifetime value, and essentially run a smarter, more efficient restaurant. To accomplish this, you have to have best-in-class solutions that fully integrate into your tech stack and create a broader ecosystem of connectivity that helps you easily grow and scale.

Never before has integrated technology been more important for the restaurant industry. With an initial shift in customer behavior during the pandemic to off-premise dining, brands are prioritizing online and in-app ordering, contactless payments, curbside pick-up and a range of delivery options. Creating a seamless, modern restaurant experience on- and off-premise means ensuring a safe and convenient environment that connects your front of house guest management systems (tablets, QR & kiosks) to your back-of-house (POS, kitchen display & 3rd party ordering/delivery) systems. 

And as digital and mobile capabilities continue to proliferate, so are your opportunities to drive business by engaging customers with personalized offers delivered over their preferred devices. Your hands are tied without the capability to leverage real-time data that drives high-value behaviors at the right time and over the right channels.

Restaurant Integration Solutions

With system integration and automation, restaurants are better positioned to monitor and enhance workflow performance and the customer experience. An integrated tech stack helps brands fit data together in real-time to create individual customer profiles that “show” marketers how and when to best engage their customers. 

Brands need the ability to leverage pre-built, restaurant-specific integrations in every category, including:

  • POS
  • Kiosk
  • Payments
  • Ordering/Curbside Pickup/Delivery
  • Gift Cards
  • Email 
  • Messaging
  • Marketing Cloud
  • Consulting & System Integration

Convenient Online & In-app Ordering with Dispatch, Delivery & Curbside PickUp Integration

Providing online ordering gives your customers the ability to place an order through your website, app and/or third-party app from a desktop or a mobile device for dispatch, delivery or curbside pickup.

Online ordering systems collect customer information and allow you to receive and process orders either directly or indirectly through your POS. Online ordering offers an easy, convenient and contactless customer experience as most systems also have integrated payments. Integration with a loyalty program also provides customers with the ability to earn and redeem points and use personalized offers while ordering. It also provides you with rich customer data to enhance individual profiles and create better, more targeted segmentation.
