The rise in popularity of contactless payments can mean leaner operations, happier staff, and – most importantly – happier customers. Contactless ordering and pay-at-the-table systems had already started gaining a slow-but-steady foothold over the past three years. Then the COVID-19 pandemic happened. That, in turn, forced the acceleration of adoption of contactless ordering and payment options from both the consumer and the restaurant sides of the business.

Fine dining restaurants are very different from your casual restaurant next door. People walk into these upscale establishments with an expectation to be wowed by the luxurious ambiance, exquisite food, and an unmatchable level of service, which justifies their premium charges. Given the high expectations, a lackluster service with no attention to detail results in unsatisfied customers and loss of revenue for the restaurant.

QR codes are a simple and effective way to engage your customers. Although QR codes were introduced in Japan in 1994 by Denso Wave , they did not become popular in the United States until the 2010s. Smartphones no longer need a separate QR code reader or QR code scanner app to use them; all you need to do is use your phone camera.

There are three primary ways for restaurants to pay their bills: manually writing checks (stuffing, licking, stamping envelopes, and taking them to the post office), using credit cards or digital banking, and lastly using a third-party provider like Bill.com, QuickBooks, or your restaurant management system (RSM). While there are pros and cons to each method, the right method is going to be the one that ultimately works best for your restaurant’s needs.

Seattle, also known locally as “The Emerald City,” is one of the most popular tourist destinations on the West Coast.

Desperation leads to ineffective decision making. This is always, always, always the case. Decisions based on panic are like the amateur carpenter who keeps making the wrong cut on a length of board until there is nothing left. It seems to me that this is where we are with our decisions about restaurant operation. Every restaurateur and chef that I know is focused on one big challenge – finding people to work.
