Ever dreamed about opening your own restaurant?
Whether you have a unique concept in mind, or are interested in one of the 100’s of great franchise opportunities available, now is a great time to think about bringing your dream to reality. With the restaurant industry’s sales approaching $900 billion in 2020, and fueled by a robust economy, strong growth can be expected to continue well into this new decade. Americans spend on average 48% of their total food budget with restaurants. This number is expected to increase as technology drives new levels of convenience and engagement to match the ever-evolving customer eating experience.
Create something exceptional.
Bringing your restaurant vision to life can be a tremendously rewarding journey. Sure, there’s a lot of hard work and many, many decisions that go into launching a new restaurant. But, powered by the excitement of delivering your new dining experience and growing “your” business the end rewards are worth it! For those with the courage to take the leap, successful entrepreneurship can provide a lifestyle of freedom, creativity, and strong sense of worth in providing an exceptional service for customers.
All entrepreneurs want to be successful. And, while there is no “one size fits all” magic formula ensuring business success, there are important choices to be made from the outset. In the restaurant industry, as in all industries, technology is now integrated across the entire customer experience. This includes technology needed to establish your digital awareness across the internet through a website, social media, and more so that people know about your restaurant and can find it on their smart devices while on the go.
Technology also drives customer engagement. Engage with your customers through digital incentives, promotions, feedback, and personal preferences and your business will flourish. Engaged customers are repeat customers. Repeat customers become loyal customers. Loyal customers become advocates.
Today’s customers absolutely demand convenience, and will leave a business if the ordering process is too difficult. For NEW restaurants, it’s imperative to provide a myriad of ordering options from traditional counter service, to online sites, mobile apps, and even onsite kiosks. It’s all about ordering made easy!
