Now savvy foodservice operators are helping to build consumer trust by being upfront and transparent about their procedures, demonstrating overt sanitation measures like regular wipe-downs between customers and spotlighting tightly controlled public safety.
And a new high-tech, minimal-touch model suggests such innovations as frictionless ordering and payment for on- and off-premise, voice-activated tech in front of house and back of house, and hands-free “everything.”
Some visible measures that can be undertaken to help customers feel safe are to rework self-serve areas like condiment stations and food bars to provide more individual options such as single-serve packets and employee-assembled customization—even automated, next-gen vending machines for build-your-own meals
Try leveraging technology to provide touch-free menus, such as scannable QR-code enabled or app-based platforms, or consider laminating (for ease of cleaning) or using disposable menus.
34% of foodservice guests prefer touchless over touchscreens, mobile apps, or placing orders at the counter.
Make sure touchable surfaces are always spotless, including doorknobs, handles, chairbacks, menus, pens, and ordering touchscreens, as well as counters and tables. That goes double for restrooms
Implement convenient and frictionless technology such as app-based ordering, text on availability of seating or to-go order, and mobile pay, as well as curbside pickup, separate takeout entrances, drive-up windows, and other means of reducing contact
