If restaurant and caf an other venue servers could spend more time serving customers, they would be able to increase sales and provide better customer service. Everyone benefits from that scenario. Restaurant owners will see an increase in sales, there will be longer- term employees and more satisfied customers. Staff see better tips because of increased sales and happier customers. Customers reap a lot of benefits because they are served much faster, get a better rapport with their server, and will be their food while it's still hot or cold, as it was intended when ordered.
A few benefits of a good server pager system:
Save time by not having to reheat food
Food runners save time and deliver food to tables much faster
More efficient food runners and servers mean less labor costs
Get food from kitchen to table much quicker, and quality remains high
Servers stay longer because they get better tips
Your operation runs much more smoothly
Congestion in kitchen is reduced
Using an more advanced type of paging system means a much smoother operation and an increase in revenue, over a simpler and less sophisticated pager. An advanced system is not simple in its features, it's just easier to operate because everything is streamlined. Communication is key in today's restaurant business because lost time is lost revenue. And a lost customer, or a dissatisfied one, often means that the customer will not be back. That's bad news for everyone concerned.
Because you want to maintain a calm and pleasant atmosphere in your restaurant -- a low profile and silent vibration pager is desired. These types of pagers will increase efficiency, especially during peak hours when things can get very chaotic. Most restaurants generate 50% of their business during a few hours of the week, such as lunchtime, dinnertime and weekends or holidays.
Server benefits to using pagers:
Servers and managers communicate faster with the kitchen
Speed of service is increased, thereby increasing customer satisfaction
Greater customer satisfaction means potentially bigger tips.
Happier customers will come back, and may ask to be seated in their favorite server's section
The more tables you can turn, the more guests you can serve
If restaurant owners can get an enhanced reputation for fast, quality service, friendly servers and a relaxing atmosphere, then your customer base will grow. Word of mouth and networking really work, and perhaps best of all, this is free advertising!
