Minimizes Human Error
The self–ordering kiosk is the best tool to cover the
shortcomings of the counter staff. Your cashier or the
waiter might forget to up–sell your products to customers, but the kiosk will never
forget its duty to prompt your product range.
Further, self – ordering kiosks are a perfect tool to
control the customer’s ticket and their meal. Normally,
a waiter or your counter staff does not mention the
price when upselling, so the customer has no idea about
the total amount of the ticket. But, self–ordering
kiosks show the total ticket amount with each add–ons,
so that customers will not get shocked by an unexpected
charge.
-
Comfort of Customizing Orders
A kiosk is also a tool that makes your customer feel at
home when ordering their meal because your customer will
feel comfortable when ordering from a self–ordering
kiosk. For instance, if they want to add extra cheese or
extra sugar for their drink, he or she will not feel
judged by the counter staff. They can also take their
time while ordering at a kiosk without feeling pressured
to rush in fear of wasting someone else’s time. This
makes the customer spend more than they would when
ordering at the counter.
-
Keeps Staff Comfortable
Self-ordering kiosks
help to optimize your staff. Especially during peak
hours, on Friday nights and on busy Saturdays you can
reallocate your staff to areas that are falling behind
by leaving the kiosk to take orders and process
payments. This also helps you to increase your revenue
by earning extra dollars from your customer. Therefore,
it is good to remember that automated up-selling and
cross-selling techniques are all about Increasing the
customer's regular ticket size.
