What is the world today without mobile phones and the Internet? A modern-day
smartphone does almost everything for you, from telling you the weather at your
location to the traffic around your area, from entertaining you with games to ordering
food at your doorstep, all with the help of a few clicks. Mobile apps have become very
common in today’s world, constituting 90% of the time spent by a user on his/her phone.
Talking about ordering food from eateries, over the past 5 years, online ordering has
gone up thrice as much compared to dining-in, according to National Restaurant News.
It is all the more better for a business if the app is first-party, as customers credit it for
fast delivery, open choice of restaurant and seating, quick payment, and discount
coupons. A self-owned mobile app, thus, proves to be the perfect definition of excellent
marketing and customer-friendliness, ideal for a restaurateur looking to expand his
scope online.
Here are 7 reasons on why you should have a branded app as a restaurant/cafe
owner:
The foremost advantage of launching an app of your eatery would be the steep
increase in its visibility among a large portion of mobile users. Apart from your
delicious food, welcoming ambiance, and top-class service, wide-spreading
online visibility will help your restaurant gain popularity, giving you an edge over
your competitors. Moreover, you can give yourself an attractive USP, Unique
Selling Proposition, a term used to describe what you do best that is different
from all the other brands out there.

Having full control of your app saves you the commission that you would have
had to pay a mediator food delivery app otherwise; commission rates go from 15-
30% of the price of the food item delivered. Make provisions on your app for
online ordering, takeaway and delivery. With AIPOS, our smart, POS system for
restaurants, you can make pre-booking of seats an option for those who want to
make reservations during peak hours and wish to skip the waiting room. What’s
more, customers can pre-book their orders even when the restaurant is closed!
This way, the management will already have a to-do list to work on once the
restaurant opens. Customers can collect your order as soon as it is ready.
You can also include a special feedback option wherein genuine customers
(those who have had a dining history with you) can leave behind their reviews.

Did you know that it costs 500% as much to acquire new customers for your
business than it does to retain an existing one? Yet, only 18% of companies
seem to focus on customer retention. You can work smart with your customers
by engaging them in a loyalty program, making them feel special for your
business and compelling them to return. Give special discount coupons to
regular diners, reward them with points that they can redeem every time they
bring along a guest. Customize your app to treat every customer based on
his/her recent searches, frequent timings, and recurring outlets. But do restaurant
loyalty programs work? The Infinite Cycle shows it definitely does!

want a booming business, you have to create raving fans.” ― Ken
