HOW TO BUILD A MOBILE APP FOR YOUR RESTAURANT


When it comes to implementing a mobile marketing strategy, restaurants are an absolute no-brainer. They can take advantage of mobile food ordering, mobile reservations, mobile coupons, build their database by giving away free items, and directly target customers by sending out mobile coupons and deals right when customers are most hungry.

As a restaurant owner, there are a ton of features that you can implement to drive revenue and customer retention:
  • Mobile Food Ordering - Let your customers order food right through your app
  • Mobile Reservations - Allow your customers to book reservations through your app
  • Mobile Loyalty Cards - “Buy 3 drinks, get your 4th drink half off!”
  • Push Notifications - Directly message your customers phones with new promotions and events at your restaurant
  • QR Codes - Build your customer database through POS campaigns - “Free ____ with download of our mobile app!”. Place your QR codes on all of your restaurant's marketing materials
  • One-Touch Calling and GPS Directions - Allow your customers to contact and find your restaurant at the touch of a button
  • Custom Email Forms - Use mobile forms to collect customer information or conduct customer response surveys & much more 


BENEFITS OF MOBILE APPS FOR RESTAURANTS

Mobile Food Ordering
People are becoming increasingly comfortable with the idea of purchasing and ordering through business mobile apps. Capitalize on this growing trend, and put your restaurant in the hands of your customers. Making it easier for customers to purchase food from your establishment surely leads to increased profits.

Increasing Customer Loyalty
Properly utilizing a mobile application captures your customers while in venue, and allows for direct communication and solicitation to their mobile device. This leads to a number of benefits, including more transactions per client, social network growth, email database growth and new product promotion awareness.

Lead Generation
A strong mobile marketing campaign combined with traditional campaigns such as radio, print, etc. increases the effectiveness of those media significantly. Drive new customer acquisition by building a strong mobile presence into your lead generation strategies.
