Are people still using restaurant pagers? Heck, people who like to maximize their revenue do this!
The world has changed a lot since the pandemic. The restaurant faces a lot of problems, such as fewer guests, staff shortage and guests’ waiting management.
Many restaurants have turned to texting to notify waiting guests that their table is ready. But, is texting really better than using a restaurant pager? Well….yes and no.
Texting is great for guests. They know in time that their table is ready. They can engage with multiple restaurants and no longer need to stay close to your restaurant while they wait.
However, what is the cost of offering this convenience to your guests?
1.Guests add themselves to waitlists at multiple restaurants and go to other restaurants with faster queues.
2.Guests travel further from your restaurant and take longer to get back to their seats, extending table-turn.
3.Lower average bill amount since guests no longer have to stay in restaurants to wait and buy drinks or appetizers.
4.The guest churn rate is higher because the there’s no need to return the restaurant pagers to the restaurant.
Restaurant pagers not only help you manage waiting guests, but also help optimize your back-of-house too. Can connect your kitchen to servers when orders are ready, can help restaurant staffs contact each other directly.
Text is Good For Guests But Restaurant Pagers Are Good For Your Business. Why not having a set of TZG restaurant pager at once?
