INTRODUCING MOBILE DINING
With 6 billion people worldwide said to own a mobile phone, rare is the occasion that a guest heads out their hotel room without their mobile device in hand. Hotels must engage their customers where the money is: on their mobile device.
Mobile Dining, a component of the ICE module, was created to give your guests an out-of-room dining experience using their mobile device. It is a custom store that allows you to create a menu for your guest to access through their mobile device in any designated area on the hotel’s premises – treated to a smooth, luxury experience.
Benefits Include:
- Minimal Startup costs – No special hardware required
- All day access to the dining menu
- Ability to make changes to your menu in real-time using ICE
- Increase order volumes and upsells using a custom store with captivating photos
- Custom tutorial built into the module to guide your guest through the ordering process
- Eliminate time spent on your staff taking orders
- Quality fulfillment – Requests begin on the consumer’s mobile device and end at a device in the hands of a staff member
Custom Stores
Create multiple stores with different menus, food and drink items, and allow for all-day ordering. For hotels integrated with HotSOS, guest’s orders go directly to ticketing and into order fulfillment.
Easy to Implement
Mobile Dining has 3 methods of determining a guests location: manual input, NFC tags, or QR codes. Each method, requires very little time and investment to start.
Cost Effective
Minimize the staff needed for your outdoor restaurant, cabana, or bar by using Mobile Dining to help manage orders that need to be placed, all the way to fulfillment and delivery.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
- Whether the guest may be reluctant to leave the kids unattended or enter the bar in their swimsuit, your guest will have access to the restaurant or bar directly through their smartphone. Guests have the capability to request food and beverages to be brought directly to their chairs without having to wait for a menu or a server.
- To start using Mobile Dining, guests select the “Mobile Dining” card located in the app. Guests can then browse through a custom store, as well as, place and review their order at their convenience.
- The guest inputs their location from one of the three given options: manually describing their location, or scanning the assigned NFC tag or QR code. If the guest needs guidance, they have the option of clicking the word ‘Help’ to view an instructive carousel of images on how to define their location in the app.
- After an order is placed, the hotel staff is notified. A staff member then delivers the food to the customer at their location. ***Guests have no time limit to their dining experience. If they would like to add to their order, hours after the fact, guests can submit a new order and will be prompted to confirm that they are still at the same location.
