Following the recent budget announcement, UKHospitality has described the upcoming financial hurdles as the “latest blow” for hospitality, with rising employment and NIC costs forecasted to add £3 billion to the sector’s annual tax bill in 2025. These financial pressures have intensified the need for businesses to innovate, and the hospitality industry is rethinking its approach, with several key trends emerging: 📲 Contactless self-service options: businesses are turning to contactless ordering and payment solutions, that allow guests to order and pay through their device or kiosk, to remove time-consuming tasks and streamline order processes 🤖 Smart automation: by automating the order input and upselling processes, sending orders directly into your POS systems, businesses are streamlining operations and reducing reliance on manual input, which frees up staff time to focus on the guest 📊 Data-driven decisions: businesses are leveraging real-time guest data and analytics to improve their service efficiency, optimise staffing, and create personalised guest experiences While the road ahead may look challenging, wi-Q Technologies is committed to supporting these industry shifts, empowering you to continue to deliver outstanding guest experiences.

💡 Restaurant Owners: Are you thinking about upgrading your technology? Here’s why considering both Return on Investment (ROI) and Cost of Inactivity (COI) is crucial for your business! 💼 ROI (Return on Investment): When you invest in new technology like SpotOn, you're not just buying a system—you’re investing in greater efficiency, faster transactions, better customer experiences, and streamlined operations. Imagine reducing order errors, speeding up service, and gaining real-time data insights. All of these lead to higher customer satisfaction and, ultimately, more revenue. For example, features like mobile ordering and contactless payments can increase customer throughput and retention, giving you a strong ROI. ⏳ COI (Cost of Inactivity): On the flip side, sticking to outdated systems comes at a cost. Legacy technology can slow down service, increase labor expenses, and frustrate customers. The longer you wait to upgrade, the more you risk losing customers to competitors who are adopting faster, smarter solutions. This hidden cost can significantly affect your bottom line without you even realizing it. ✨ Switching to SpotOn helps reduce COI by offering customizable, modern solutions that are built to meet today’s demands. With comprehensive reporting, integrated payment processing, and world-class support, you’ll gain more control over your operations, reduce inefficiencies, and increase profits over time. 👉 Let’s chat about how SpotOn can positively impact both your ROI and COI and why making the switch now can save you in the long run! You can reach me, Randy Wiley, Hospitality Specialist for Mid Michigan, at (561) 385-2644 or via email at randy.wiley@spoton.com. #RestaurantTech #ROI #COI #SpotOn #Efficiency #MichiganRestaurants

Key Card Upgrade: Is It Worth It? ▶ As technology advances, so do the expectations of hotel guests. One key area often overlooked is the humble key card. But is upgrading your key cards really worth the investment? ◀ Here’s why the answer is a resounding YES: 1. Eliminate Chargebacks: Upgraded key cards help reduce the risk of chargebacks by providing secure, traceable transactions for room access, payments, and services. This added layer of security ensures that every transaction is transparent and verifiable, protecting your revenue. 🌟 2. Seamless Integration: Upgraded key cards can do more than just open doors. They can be integrated with your POS, PMS, and other systems, allowing guests to charge meals, access amenities, and even check out—all with a single card. This integration streamlines operations and enhances the guest experience. 3. Personalized Guest Experience: Advanced key card systems can offer you personalized services like customized room settings or loyalty perks, creating a more tailored experience that keeps guests coming back. 4. Operational Efficiency: A key card upgrade simplifies your back-end operations, reducing manual processes and errors. Your staff can focus on providing exceptional service instead of dealing with outdated technology. 👍 So, is it worth it? Absolutely.

From contactless payments to data-driven loyalty programs, restaurants are tapping into technology to redefine the guest experience, meeting the demand for smoother interactions and personalized service. But modern technology isn't just reshaping how patrons engage with restaurants. Behind the scenes, it's helping operators automate tasks, create efficiencies and cut costs. According to 2024 data from the National Restaurant Association, 76% of operators believe technology helps attract younger consumers, enhance kitchen productivity and speed up ordering and payment. While the benefits are clear, many of them feel like they're lagging in terms of adoption. Fewer than half of operators surveyed by the NRA invested in technology to improve customer experience in 2023. Looking ahead, 60% say they plan to make the investment in 2024. By Mark Calvillo

It is National Customer Service Week! Today's Theme is the Future of Service, we caught up with Kenny, our Head of Digital and he gave us some amazing insight for what is to come and I couldn't agree more. "The future of customer service in the hospitality industry is set to be revolutionised by digital innovations that enhance guest experiences and streamline operations. As more staff dining, and destination visitor attractions adopt smart technologies, such as mobile apps, kiosk ordering solutions and contactless transactional solutions, guests will enjoy greater convenience and personalised services tailored to their preferences. Digital innovations at point of sale are enabling our teams to be freed up from their traditional ‘posts’ to better serve the needs of our customers. Additionally, data analytics are helping to empower hospitality providers to gain insights into customer behaviour, allowing for a more customised experience, with insight led loyalty and promotions. Ultimately, the blend of technology and a human touch will redefine service excellence, ensuring that guests feel valued and connected, even in a digital landscape”.
