to Nations Restaurant News, consumers report
greater satisfaction from independent restaurants
in 12 out of 15 metrics.

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN RESTAURANT INDUSTRY

• Across all of dining, there has been a massive
  shift to off-premise service models and
  selfservice ordering, which is unlikely to shift
  back to pre-pandemic levels. Digitally
  transformed brands such as Panera, Chipotle,
  Dominos and McDonalds have been reaping the
  benefits of digital, a key enabler in weathering
  the storm

• As restaurant traffic patterns have shifted,
  restaurants must continue to focus on evolving
  their off-premise capabilities to quickly respond
  to customers concerns, incorporating emerging
  experiences such as voice, chat bots and in-car
  experiences to maximize efficiency.

• Due to digital transformation, customers can now
  personalize their food on the history of food
  preference. This not only brings modernization to
  the restaurants but also makes it easy for the
  customers to customize the menu options, unlike
  traditional menu cards. Digital Transformation
  has also contributed on the restaurant tables.
  With the use of tablets or scanners, servers can
  easily take orders and process payments from the
  table which reduces the waiting time of the
  customer or standing in long queues!
