Tips for improving speed of service in a restaurant while maintaining quality

 As you know, it’s not always so cut and dry from the perspective of a restaurant owner, restaurant manager or employee. For the customer, it’s one meal, one experience at any given time. But your restaurant, on the other hand, is filling many, many orders every day in various ways. You have to get this right for hundreds of people; speeding up your service can go a long way to achieving that.

So how can you make sure you’re maintaining a quick speed of service without sacrificing quality?

Consider the following tips to increase your speed-of-service:

  • Implement the best restaurant layout

  • Update your restaurant’s technology

  • Improve your inventory forecasting

  • Say goodbye to confusing menus

The National Restaurant Association says that 32% of operators think their business is lagging in restaurant technologies. What technologies are you missing out on in your restaurant?

If improving speed of service is your goal, it’s a good idea to invest in the latest digital restaurant ordering and pay technologies.
