  • 71% say the ability to integrate with other systems is driving their POS purchase decisions, according to HT’s2 2023 POS Software Trends Report.So, when restaurant operators go looking for ways to innovate, they’re inevitably met with a need to throw out all the current capital investments to get to the needed improvements - a proposition that results in difficult ROIs.  On top of these impossible economics, the upgrade process is incredibly time-consuming and massively expensive. Updating such a massive and integral part of the business can take years, multiple decision makers and tens of thousands of dollars per store. 
  • Switching to cloud-based technology used on legacy hardware can be an incredibly smart option for restaurant owners who want to improve business operations without long delays and costly hardware overhauls. The restaurant point-of-sale (POS) system, using access to cloud-based data and seamless software updating, can bring important innovations to operators without the wait and expense.

  • Restaurant operators don't go into this business to be technologists
  • technology has proven so fruitful for restaurants during the pandemic that analysts are now urging the restaurant industry to permanently embrace solutions like cloud computing, artificial intelligence and machine learning to diversify their revenue streams, collectively bargain, and provide a safe experience for guests and employees alike.

  • With its pervasive stay-at-home orders, mandated dining room closures and persistent labor shortages, COVID-19 has only accelerated this trend.
  • DoorDash, Grubhub and UberEats dominate the market
  • “At the start of the pandemic, there was a rush for every restaurant to do their own ordering app, which is like everybody trying to do their own internet,” Quinn said. “Restaurants quickly realized that their efforts were better spent elsewhere, and many opted into the larger ecosystems that third-party delivery services provide.”
  • Shortly after its launch in 2013, DoorDash decided to migrate its IT infrastructure to a cloud-native solution, which allows it to quickly scale as it continues to grow. It also gives the company access to various cloud-based applications that help it collect, track and analyze data about its customers’ ordering habits — a trend that’s sweeping the restaurant industry and informing creative strategies for combatting losses due to COVID-19, according to Quin
  • Ghost kitchens — sometimes called virtual or dark kitchens — allow restaurateurs to cut costs by foregoing real estate, labor and dining room expenses in favor of small, focused operations that prepare food in shared commercial kitchens exclusively for delivery. Companies like UberEats use delivery data to help restaurants determine where market opportunities exist.
  • n recent years, digital ordering kiosks and tablets also have become popular, and full robotic kitchens might not be far behind. This fall, for example, White Castle will deploy Flippy, its first robotic fry cook.

Even autonomous delivery robots have hit the streets in big cities and college towns across America

    This article is based on how we can improved e-wastes on doing little changes that will benefit on our future. Most of the e-waste is not recycle properly, we buy things after things and more after more, every time a new technology comes up there is the motivation on buying what is the lasted cool technology, and what about what we have , where does it go ? to the trash or recycle, but we do not know where that recycling goes, I believe learning more about it will help on our routine of how to recycle better and help with this process to proceed right.
  • CHARLENE ESCOE BARNETT on 10 May 22
     
    We quickly move to 'next' as far as technology goes and rarely think about how to get rid of it when obsolete. In the Caribbean for example, there are not may recycling plants for e-waste, in fact, many rarely do recycling on a whole. In the Turks and Caicos, disposing of a television or a phone is as simple as throwing it in the trash among everything else. What happens next? It goes into the landfills and there they lie. Imagine the toxic waste from over 40,000 inhabitants on a small island. While moving with the crowd seems to be the way of the world, I believe government entities must act swiftly in ensuring e-waste is disposed of correctly to preserve this island and its inhabitants for generations to come. The technology should not outpace the disposal thereof.

Companies can make immediate offers to individuals if they are in proximity of the businesses. In hospitality, restaurants can give discounted offers to people walking near the restaurants.

4 Ways Robots Will Improve Our Standard of Living - 0 views

shared by rosedelice on 06 Feb 22 - No Cached
  • There is no question that robots are a great deal more efficient than humans, especially when it comes to things like manufacturing goods. Not only are robots able to work with better accuracy, which reduces the amount of time and materials wasted, they can also work faster (and longer) than humans can. While this can have an adverse impact on the jobs that people rely on, it also, by lower manufacturing costs, makes the price of goods cheaper. This, in turn, has the effect of making those goods, whether they be cars, clothing, or computers, more accessible to a wider number of people.
  • Instead of thinking about robots purely in terms of the people they might replace, it’s instructive to think of the benefits they will bring. From more fulfilling jobs to increased access to goods and services previously only available to the wealthy, there’s no question that this technology will have an incredibly transformative impact on the world at large.
  • rosedelice on 06 Feb 22
     
    Sometimes, we focus more about Robots replacing humans, but we don't see the whole picture. Robots work with better accuracy which reduces the amount of time and materials wasted. It is a fact that will impact people's jobs; However, by helping company saving money, the price of good will be more affordable.
