How to promote contactless ordering and takeout at your restaurant?

How would you feel if you could allow your patrons to place an order, pay, and receive their food with limited or zero physical contact? Sounds unreal, right? But we know that contactless has already become a trend in the food industry. And as we continue to cope with pandemic challenges, it has become a crucial part of the industry.

The contactless takeaway option on Lokobee, allows your customers to select the “pickup” option and then place their orders using the Lokobee app. This will allow them to visit and pick up their order from the restaurant location without coming in any physical contact with your staff.

Restaurant businesses should be wise enough to adopt contactless procedures and make it a permanent solution to be successful in the near future. Let's see how you can improve your food takeout business using a contactless ordering procedure.

How to promote contactless takeout methods?

Follow all safety precautions

Train your employees to wear masks, gloves and check the temperature. Keep hygiene and maintain the distance while handing over the orders to your pickup customers. You can also check for the loopholes in the system and customers’ complaints at intervals and immediately work on it.

Invest in an upgraded technology

Make sure the software you use lets your customers order ahead and schedule the pickup date at their hand. The right software can automate tasks like receiving prepayment, informs you immediately after an order is placed, and notify your customers that you’ve received their orders. The system should let you automate all of these tasks so you can serve your customers with the least possible contact.

Let your customers know

Your customers need to know that you offer a contactless food pickup option. You can keep them informed about it through different channels like your social media channels, website, and emails & SMSes, etc. The other option is to use a vinyl signboard outside your restaurant and educate them about all your efforts so they feel comfortable ordering from you.
