URBANWAND, a company based in Gurgaon is spearheading this transformation via their Tablet Menu integrated Business Maximization Platform for the restaurants

For the customer, this makes the restaurant dining experience much more pleasant and entertaining since now the menu says more with pictures, descriptions & recommendations which are quite a times hard to get by from the busy and sometimes not so trained waiters. In addition, customer can now review his order more accurately, order without having to wave and shout for the waiter, get recommendations, keep a tab on the bill and ask for customizations with surety of them being passed on to the kitchen. The icing on the cake are the surprise offers and deals discounts if customer hangs out a little longer and wants to consume more. With feedback integrated, customer is assured that his inputs are always reaching the restaurant owners and managers and getting the value they deserve resulting in better dining experiences on repeat visits.

For the restaurant, a happy customer is the key and the solution is aimed at continually maximizing the restaurant business by improving the customer engagement and satisfaction. The restaurant can innovate with their menu and offerings any day any time without worrying about how to present and communicate it to the customers. The orders are maximized using unique techniques which engage customers to hang out for more time and consume more. The customers are also motivated to promote the restaurant in their social networks resulting in more word of mouth for the restaurant. All this with streamlined and efficient operations with lesser staff ensure restaurant wins and make their customers win.
