When $632 billion Food meets $800 billion Tech

Imagine walking into a restaurant and having the valet cheerfully usher you into the dining hall where they already know your favorite seats.

You take a seat and order through the concise menu customized to your food palette and previous orders. They know everything from what you like in your steak to your favorite spots for a smoking break. Imagine an age when “RESTAURANT” starts reminding you of chilling out and fun(and not just because they serve booze).

An age when restaurants keep up to your technology level. A age when you can send them hate from twitter and hit on the hot waitresses at Instagram? ..sounds far fetched? That’s how far the brains behind your potbellies are fetching, here’s a look at 5 new advancements that have revolutionized the restaurant industry

1. DUH!!!

This isn’t me venting out in the header because I have a bad job but digitalized menus are a NECESSITY! You have a time table because you can’t remember what you have to do today besides doing it everyday, at the worst you will lose time if you don’t adhere to it.

How about a guy who has to conform to inches, millimeters and degrees, ONE MISTAKE on his part, even a slight miscalculation will lead to the sweet monotonous “manager ko bula” music whilst making sure his restaurant is bad-mouthed to at-least 250 people all because he didn’t have a recipe backup. This is a golden example of the difference between risk and idiocy.

2.CONSTANT DATA STREAM

We all want the best and we all want it the cheapest we can get. Restaurant guys have this down to science. They are omniscient when it comes to their restaurants.

They know how much buying 500 tonnes of fish profits whilst also knowing how much loss is extra toilet paper giving them. They have a COMPLETE record that they can use to claim transparency while garnering trust and giving better service. Trust being their single most valued commodity, pretty neat if you ask me!

3.Cloud fooding

Writers have long been obsessed with cloud and the world seems to be slowly catching up. They have actual data being backed up on servers who then in turn logicalize and analyze it to provide you customized outputs while also keeping info in their repertoire for future use.

Information is the single most valued commodity in these times. They are basically taking info from you,making it their bitch and then using this bitch for tasks as menial as knowing your table and as fundamental as the taxation of that table you don’t need to go to cloud 9 for great food and service. They brought it down for you.

4. L.E.D ALERT

Brandon works in a restaurant with 20 others people who speak many different languages while they unite in grinding their arses off.

Not a very agile environment with all that hubbub that a kitchen usually fosters, not easy to get attention here! That is until whatever requires your attention starts looking blood-soaked with all the sharp objects around, that’s bound to get the job done.

L.E.D alerts produce a vibrant red light at places that require staff attention and it doesn’t worry about enquiring stubborn buttheads because it has the manager on speed dial the only thing more dangerous than a pissed manager is a pissed manager with proof just saying..☺.

5. Touchscreen Food Vendors

All my life I have heard the dauntless say “if someone hits you, you hit back”. How about a machine whom when you hit, instead of hitting back gives you a 100 different options of soft-drinks, it parches your throat even if you press it’s buttons!

Touchscreen vendors have become so popular,they have become so overt that now the whole concept is covert. They give you magnanimous customization for street prices, that’s kind of a sweet deal.

It’s going to go colossal when a 632$ billion enterprise “food” meets a 800$ billion industry. Time to meet Realbox — your partner in increasing your sales by helping you create Rich Customer Experiences.
