Restaurant App Development : A Brilliant Stride For A Lucrative Restaurant Business

As an aspiring entrepreneur, we bet that you might have seen numerous blogs that tell you about how having a mobile app can give you a skyrocketing revenue and how well your business could be growing, and so forth. But ever wondered how true these are, or is it worth developing an app for a business? Apart from reading everything and hearing a lot of advice from people around you till your eardrums can’t bear any of it, the one question that you might be asking yourself at the end of the day is: ‘Is it worth the investment?.

And our dear reader, that is why to stop all the banters and debates, we are here with a blog that gives you the liberty to do the math on the potential revenue and people you could miss out on if you deny restaurant delivery app development.

So, why won’t we get started now?

1. Deals based on locations

Using iBeacon, you can send people push notifications and deals in and around your restaurants’ location during mealtime. On the other hand, you can send relevant information about the deals, if they are closer to your restaurant branch if you are a large chain restaurant.

2. Referral programs

The referral programs are a powerful strategy in the restaurant business. By offering some extra loyalty points and referrals, you can hugely see the difference in customer traction. One of the major reasons why they work is because they are far more personal ones. By sending push notifications, you can remind your customers about how close they are to achieve their goal of winning some food-points.

It is also proven by research that 65% of the customers will download the restaurant apps if they are promised exclusive deals and offers, and about 80% of the people are returning to the restaurant to win over the benefits. 

3. Easier order fulfillment

Just apart from making money, mobile apps make it easier to fulfill orders. Instead of someone having to attend the calls and try to understand clearly what the other person is saying, or instead of relying on the handwriting for understanding what needs to be cooked, the people who are responsible for fulfilling orders can clearly understand what needs to be prepared, even the special requirements.

With the mobile app, there is no need for an individual employee to pay and take up the orders, as the customers can directly place the order with instructions, which can be added in the comment section. They could confirm their order by adding an address and making payments directly through the app. Also, cooks can find it easier to see whether the ingredients need to be tweaked. 

4. Easier reservations

Food lovers like it when they know that there is a place for them in their favorite place when they travel in some unknown city or when they plan to have a pleasant night out. Also, by using an app for reservations, you can help your customers in a great way by refraining them from having to call the host at the right time and to book a table over the phone despite bearing many background disturbances.

5. Better service

If your restaurant or shop is small and cozy, imagine if customers come to your place on a sunny day, all worn out and hungry, but finding a place for them is too difficult. This makes it harder for you to satisfy every customer since they won’t have all the world’s comfort. It wouldn’t benefit you, does it? Having a mobile app where customers can book their order and then carry it out makes it convenient for both the end-user and you. You can see a new order, prepare it and price it for immediate take out. The work would be carried out smoothly and in a chop-chop. 

6. Online sharing

One best reason to create a mobile app is to collect better reviews when a customer is happy with your service. Say if your app runs all the reservations, payments, or order, then you can set a time in your app, and once one of the transactions gets completed, you can ask your app user to rate their experience, or you can ask them to share the app in exchange for some rewards or loyalty points. 

Your reputation will automatically be boosted when the customer shares the app there in the open on the social media platforms, increasing your business. 

7. Special deals for better ROI

Try to plant an idea about making the very day into a special one by sending out some push notifications to the users. For instance, you can consider sending a notification that favors them to save some money. So that, when they decide on choosing a restaurant for an outing, your food would be the first thing to pop out on their minds. 

8. Easy access

According to Chadwick Martin Bailey’s research, 62% of the customers won’t step into the restaurant if they can’t see the menu easily on their devices. Instead of relying on providing some exclusive designs of the app, try to make it as simple as possible. It will ensure the user can find it easily without having to go a long way for information. 

9. Click to call

Without just having to order or make reservations using the app, you can add a click to call button and provide your customers an easy to make calls for any queries regarding the menu, location, or reservation timings. Though it is just a small detail, it can help customers in a great way. It cuts down the need to look up the contact number on Google, note it down, and then call you to get it answered. By serving them instantly, you can save the risk of losing the customer.
