Customer Service
Customer Service
The customer experience overrules all! A business cannot operate without sales. Often times, restaurants without a POS system or the proper system will significantly lose out on this factor alone. Orders can be lost, tables can be forgotten between shifts, or customers can be seated at tables that aren't ready for them. All of this only scratches the surface on customer service issues. On our loyalty page, we describe how hard it is to retain customers. Why make it harder than it needs to be? Of course, mistakes are going to happen, and you'll need a strategy to address customer complaints. But one of the best parts of a strategy like that is to make sure these kinds of mix-ups don't happen in the first place.
The founder of this company used to have a digital presence business in the restaurant space, and part of that service to customers was combing and addressing poor reviews online. Something he found is all these complaints can be addressed by the restaurant staff with ease! The biggest problem is getting your customer to notify your business of such issues in the first place.
Our partners have their own solutions for customer relations built in, and technologically improved. This includes a prompt and incentive to leave a review for customers who haven't left one yet already, and the ability to address customers in distinct groups based on a vast selection of customer service metrics.
We can't stress enough to our customers how important customer reviews are. Not just for clout or visibility online, but for the reason reviews were started before the internet in the first place! To allow restaurants to improve their experience. Every customer is an honoured guest, and typically it is better in the long run for a business to get a poor review and improve a customer's experience than it is to get no review at all.
Our partner's programs will give a customer the incentive to leave a review online through the loyalty program and Customer Relations Manager (CRM), both to improve online visibility and to address customer experience blind spots that could be secretly killing your sales.
In the old days, you had to reach out and gather information on your customers individually and personally! And in all honesty, nothing beats that in terms of quality.
These days, you're presented with other options that you can use in addition to socializing your regulars. There's technology in place that can help you convert, follow up with, and reward customers. These services are known as Customer Relations Managers. They let you interface with your customers based on purchase habits, birthdays, and even the last time they visited! With some restaurants receiving in excess of six thousand visits per month, it can be quite the task to find out how to interface with each of them individually, or maintain that your staff is implementing your strategies effectively. We're not saying you should abandon your personal touch, but instead you could expand on it with these programs.
Our partners have a plethora of options for customer service. whether that be chain business that requires a formulaic approach, or small mom and pop shops that need a much more niche and targeted approach to their customer relations.
The best way to avoid customer service mishaps is by establishing a proper order of operations in your business. Ensuring that your customer can find the products in your store, or that your kitchen can operate in a proper FIFO order, or even that your lines are shorter, are great examples!
You can improve convenience through our partners' online ordering platform. You can improve ticket times by organizing through another kitchen display or printer. Even something as simple as helping order accuracy through the implementation of a self order kiosk improves service drastically! There's a lot of specific options for specific problems your business may be facing today.
