HoReCa (Hotels, Restaurants, Catering), or the hospitality industry, is the most profitable and fast developing field of modern economics. The HoReCa global market is highly intensive with regard to the key market parameters: capital, management, marketing and personnel, which greatly increases the level of competition and impedes appearing of new market players.
An important pattern now is the rapid development of high-tech services—food delivery from restaurants, reservation of tables, take away service, and mobile loyalty systems. People prefer comfort provided by technologies. Initially, people ordered food by phone; later they started using the internet, and now they choose and order food on apps.
A similar pattern is seen in the offline waitressing: initially, waiters and cashiers took orders on paper, later they used POS terminals, after that there was a gradual transition to self-service using electronic kiosks and mobile terminals, and the next step will be a mobile solution in which everyone will be able to place an order.
PROBLEMS
Today, information technologies have started to penetrate very rapidly into the life of each person. People are increasingly meeting services such as online banking, mobile network payments, taxi calls, the purchase of goods through the Internet and the delivery of food at home. Many of such actions can be performed using a smartphone. People even forgot that quite recently the situation was completely different. But the restaurant industry to date has been conservative to such innovations in regard to visitors to establishments. Automation was able to enter tightly into the business processes of restaurants, and especially in the main "kitchen." There is a huge number of large and small players, but interaction with the visitor is still communicating live, and the selection of dishes takes place due to the paper menu. To date, the market needs a cloud platform, through which you can access all orders without attracting waiters and cashiers, but without installing expensive terminals or developing special software. Instead of them, smartphones of users of establishments would simply be involved.
Many users today choose a single site. They are comfortable finding several places at the same time, using the necessary criteria, studying the feedback of other users, get acquainted with the ratings of institutions. There are a large number of such marketplaces, and all of them allow you to open new restaurants, study ratings, filter while searching for an institution and select it by topic. But these portals are basically able to perform the most important tasks: the search for a restaurant, but not the acquisition of products in it. Instead of a huge number of applications, people would prefer a single service, in which one does not need to understand much. Users could become more rational, take an interest in discounts and special offers.
NOTE: Gastery is intended to address all these challenges.
