Businesses had to close their brick-and-mortar locations during waves of lockdowns, comply with limits to the number of guests they could serve, and adapt to consumers\u2019 newfound preference for online ordering. Additionally, now, as the economy reopens, restaurant recovery is slower than many businesses would like, as too few workers are willing to fill open roles, hindering efforts to reopen to capacity. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Restaurant recovery requires top-to-bottom efficiency, including optimizing checkout processes, payment transactions, back-office operations, and cash flow management. That\u2019s where cutting-edge payment technology comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider how these five solutions can help your restaurant clients improve their operations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>1. Pay at the Table<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it\u2019s time to settle the check, pay-at-the-table solutions streamline processes. They eliminate multiple trips back and forth to a stationary point of sale (POS) terminal to run a credit card and add tips. Servers can complete the transaction tableside in just minutes, saving time and capping off a great dining experience with a quick and convenient payment experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, did you know that <a href=\"https:\/\/hospitalitytech.com\/how-pay-table-technology-helping-restaurants-overcome-staffing-crisis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pay-at-the-table technology<\/a> can boost a restaurant wait staff\u2019s bottom line? Tableside customers end up leaving 16 percent higher tips on average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, some pay-at-the-table solutions can do double duty and allow customers to pay for online orders curbside. Solutions can even accept contactless card or mobile wallet payments, making the experience touch-free, which many consumers will prefer throughout the remainder of the pandemic and likely beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>2. Online payments<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you thought the online ordering boom was a pandemic fad, think again. A PYMNTS and Paytronix study found that as many as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/en\/news-release\/2021\/04\/27\/2217728\/0\/en\/Report-Restaurant-Online-Ordering-Is-Here-to-Stay-Even-as-Guests-Return-to-On-Premises-Dining.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">92 percent<\/a> of fully vaccinated consumers say they\u2019ll continue turning to the web to order their meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Restaurants banking on online ordering to fuel recovery must have the right tech in place to collect payment when consumers put in their orders. Also, integrating online ordering and payments with the restaurant\u2019s POS system means your client won\u2019t be forced to rely on third parties and pay fees to get their menus in front of consumers in their market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Giving a restaurant the ability to control the entire online ordering experience, from item selection and payment to fulfillment, can also help your client ensure they\u2019re providing the best possible service. With this control, they can build a positive brand reputation and do all they can to win diners\u2019 loyalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong>3. QR codes<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating touch-free experiences has become a priority for restaurants, and many are turning to a familiar technology: QR codes. By scanning a code, customers can review menus on their smartphones \u2013 nothing changes hands, and they aren\u2019t handling menus that other patrons have used. QR codes can also give restaurants an easy way to offer \u201ccontactless\u201d payments. Diners can scan a code that takes them to an online payments page \u2013 and if their smartphones autofill payment data, they can complete the transaction with just a few clicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Express deposit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>COVID-19 slowed cash flow for many restaurants, so, understandably, many restaurant owners want to ensure they receive money from digital transactions as soon as possible. Options like <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/evopayments.com\/evo-payments-introduces-express-deposit\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/evopayments.com\/evo-payments-introduces-express-deposit\/\">express deposit<\/a> ensure restaurants get the proceeds from card transactions right away versus waiting up to 72 hours for the funds to hit. Restaurant owners pressed to pay staff and purchase ingredients know all too well what a difference a day makes when it comes to their cash flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Gift cards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If they weren\u2019t doing so already, business owners will want to consider making <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fsrmagazine.com\/expert-takes\/gift-cards-effective-marketing-strategy-restaurants\" target=\"_blank\">gift cards<\/a> a part of their restaurant recovery. Beyond simply keeping a restaurant brand top of mind with consumers, gift cards represent instant revenue without labor and product costs. They can also pay back dividends as many recipients end up spending more than the card\u2019s value, whether the card is in physical or digital form. Some gift card holders might even replenish their cards, driving loyalty and repeat business for the restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The ISV\u2019s role in restaurant recovery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an ISV, you can play an integral role in restaurant recovery by integrating payment solutions that help your clients streamline operations, improve cash flow, and create loyalty-building customer experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The payments partner you choose will directly impact how much value you can provide to your clients through payment functionality and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.evopayments.us\/staging\/partners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click<\/a> to learn more about the benefits of a partnership with EVO Payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"cta cta-full\">\n        <img src=\"https:\/\/www.evopayments.us\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/cta_full-width_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n        <div class=\"content-holder\"> <!--this extra div is needed to make line behind content and above image-->\n          <div class=\"content\">\n            <h3>Connect with Us<\/h3>\n            <p>With business activities in 50 markets and 150+ currencies around the world, EVO is among the largest fully integrated merchant acquirers and payment processors in the world.<\/p>\n            <div class=\"button-container\"><a href=\"\/about\/contact-us\/\" class=\"btn border\">Contact Us<\/a><\/div>\n          <\/div> <!-- \/.content -->\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.content-holder -->\n    <\/div><!-- \/.cta -->\n\n        ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The right payment solution will help restaurants control costs, improve cash flow and optimize customer experiences.
