Think Mobile Food Ordering Is Too Complex or Expensive for Your Restaurant? Think Again!
Feb 19th
By now you’ve no doubt seen that many food service chains (e.g. Taco Bell) have begun offering mobile food ordering. With mobile ordering, customers can open an app on their mobile device, browse the menu, submit an order, and make payment remotely. The order can then be delivered, or the customer can come in to pick it up on their way home.
If you’re a small local spot, you may be skeptical of how mobile ordering can fit into your business, whether you’re concerned that the costs may be high, that a mobile app might complicate things, that your customers won’t use it, or you have other concerns. If this is you, we have a simple message:
Creating a mobile ordering app is easy and surprisingly cost effective!
Why offer mobile ordering?
The biggest benefit is that it can increase revenue. By opening up a new channel for order submissions, your existing customers may submit orders more frequently, and new customers may also be attracted to your business.
The main reason for this is convenience. Instead of having to locate a menu, call in over the din of your restaurant, and repeat credit card details, the customer now has an easy option. Even if they’re out and about, they can check out your offerings, put in special requests easily, and click to send their order in. Mobile ordering also allows for favorite items and payment details to be saved, so orders can be submitted quickly.
This also saves your staff time as well. There’s less time spent on the phone, and less time spent writing down orders. You may also see an increase in order accuracy, since nothing is repeated over a bad phone connection, and instructions are recorded in order notes if there are special requests.
In addition to mobile ordering, Bizness Apps apps have loads of other features that can benefit your business. We won’t overwhelm you with a full list here, but with the ability to send push notifications to your customers regarding new promotions, offer mobile loyalty programs, and earn social referrals for your business, mobile apps can generate a ton of value for your business.
Is it hard to set up mobile ordering?
Not at all. The Bizness Apps app builder has been used by over 100,000 companies (the most popular in the world!) to create simple, beautiful, functional mobile apps. The process is step-by-step, easy to follow, and lets you complete your app quickly. And our price is a low monthly subscription fee that saves you thousands when compared to custom app design firms. Once your app is approved and uploaded to your desired app marketplaces (e.g. Apple’s App Store and Google Play), you can promote it to customers and start taking your first mobile orders.
It really is that simple.

Why Every Restaurant Needs A Mobile App and Website
Nov 15th
You might think the success of your restaurant is decided in the kitchen, but the Internet’s role in a restaurant’s success has grown steadily since it was first launched. Now, the vast majority of customers find restaurants after an Internet search.
And where are most Internet searches being conducted nowadays? The answer surprises many . . .
Mobile devices have become the most popular means of searching the Web! The mobile web is not the same thing as the “desktop web,” either. Simply having a website is no longer enough to ensure that the connection is made with online searchers – businesses, including restaurants, must now have mobile-optimized websites.
The process of creating a mobile-optimized website is not difficult, but the small effort that’s required is definitely essential in today’s modern restaurant industry.
Why is a mobile site essential?
Without mobile optimization, visitors that use mobile browsers will find a site hard to view, difficult to navigate, and ultimately, unpleasant. The result is that they will quickly hit the back button, and head to a competing site, where checking out the menu is easy. When searching for a restaurant, it’s easy to click into a restaurant’s site, reject it, and click on to the next one. And that’s just what users do.
Business is lost, and for a pretty silly reason, too.
The overlooked opportunity
Easy-to-view mobile sites are still a huge competitive advantage for the restaurants that adopt them because, to date, only 5% of restaurants have created mobile websites. Many are still reliant on traditional channels to bring them business. So, for those restaurants that are ready to move with the customers and meet them where they now are, the rewards will be significant. The others stand to lose market share gradually to those restaurants that are connecting with an increasingly mobile world.
What about apps?
Not appetizers, mobile applications!
Apps open up communications between your restaurant and your customers, making promotions, reservations, visits, and many other things easier. In fact, if you make your app with Bizness Apps, customers will be able to call your restaurant or get GPS directions with a single click, make reservations from their mobile devices, and receive messages (like coupons, or invitations to special events) that you can send at will.
An app is a big revenue booster, and a great way to get your fans more engaged and visiting more frequently.
