The UK’s Eat Out to Help Out scheme is a great initiative and in conjunction with the Staycation campaign, hospitality venues are starting to recover from the lengthy Covid 19 lockdown period as more diners take to venturing out.
However, with an increase in the number of diners, adhering to social distancing practices, can be difficult for hospitality staff. One of the biggest challenges this difficulty is placing on the hospitality sector, is delivering on the customer dining experience as interaction is limited.
For diners not used to this new world of eating out, small things such as not knowing what safety procedures need to be followed on entry, understanding how to order and pay, or even just where to sit and dine, can be confusing. This can easily lead to frustration, creating a negative experience for the diner very quickly.
With digital signage, these issues and more can be eliminated. Demand for digital signage in the hospitality sector has increased during the reopening of restaurant, cafes and takeaway stores, as these venues take advantage of the capabilities that digital signage can deliver to their customers.
Digital signage is a cost effective, quickly editable and easily manageable solution for venues to explain processes in a dynamic visual and engaging format while still providing personalised service.
The interactive functionality of a platform such as CleverLive CLOUD by Clevertouch which delivers an interactive experience via a non-touch screen by delivering unique features including QR codes on dynamic displays for mobile phone scanning; live streaming web cams, YouTube, RSS Feeds or Twitter for real time information; and broadcasting safety tips, ordering instruction and more is proving popular.
At a time when businesses and particularly the hospitality sector are struggling, delivering a product that empowers customers to provide a feeling of engagement and interaction while keeping staff safe is an outcome our team are pleased to be able to deliver,” said Helen Kenniff, product marketing manager Sedao Digital Signage.
