When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the foodservice industry was unprepared for the massive effect this would have on all of our livelihoods. A lot of major changes were implemented to help customers feel safe eating out again (even if that just meant pick-up or delivery). As a result, a lot of new technology and equipment was introduced to the industry, like QR code menus and hand sanitizing stations.
As more and more people get vaccinated, however, it’s clear that some of these new amenities are here to stay. The added convenience for the customer that adaptations like curbside pickup and improved online ordering software bring to the table mean that customers will expect them, even when they are no longer seen as necessary.
One of these lasting changes will be improved pick-up and carry-out setups.
Carter-Hoffmann Carry-Out Cabinets
The Carter-Hoffmann PUC cabinets are designed to automate the pick-up/carry-out process. Not only will it make the experience better for your customer, but it will also reduce your labor needs – all your staff members have to do is put the food in the cabinet!
The cabinet works using software that includes order management and customer notifications. It creates a text or other communication customers can use to check the status of their order – so they know EXACTLY when their order is ready for pick-up! – and a QR code/pin to access the holding cabinet to grab their food. They won’t have to endure long wait times, and this system can even be used with third party delivery services.
Depending on your needs, you can choose from ambient or heated cabinets, and the software can be integrated into most POS and online ordering systems, which will make the entire process even smoother! You can use the data collected to identify patterns and opportunities for improvement in your order fulfillment procedures.
