Boosting Revenue For The Price of 5 Cups of Coffee
The Impact of QR Menus on Restaurant Business
Running a successful restaurant in today's competitive landscape requires staying ahead of the curve. Embracing new technologies is crucial to avoid getting lost among competitors who have already integrated innovative solutions. A prime example is the widespread adoption of QR menus, a trend that gained momentum post-2020.
Many cafes and restaurants, both large chains and local establishments, have embraced QR menus. These QR codes, scanned by customers to access visually appealing digital menus, have become a common sight on tables, streamlining the dining experience for both waitstaff and patrons.
Beyond the evident advantages, QR menus offer direct benefits to the business itself. Despite being viewed by some as an additional expense, the following arguments highlight why the investment in QR menus is likely to yield more returns than costs.
Increasing Revenue through Visual Appeal
It's not just marketing rhetoric—customer preferences are increasingly driven by visual elements. Leveraging the visual aspect of menus is a winning strategy.
QR menus allow businesses to upload compelling videos and photos for their most profitable items, capturing customers' attention effectively.
This visually enticing approach serves as a clear call to action, leading to a real impact. In 90% of cases, customers respond positively to this strategy.
No one can dispute the power of videos in driving sales compared to a single photo. The ability to showcase dishes from multiple angles, enticing visuals, and an opportunity for customers to thoroughly examine each item contributes not only to a cool factor but also to effectiveness. This unique feature is exclusive to our service, VideoMenu.
According to statistics, sales of items featured with videos can skyrocket, increasing revenue by up to 20%.
Now, let's talk about the costs.
Considering the Cost of 5 Cups of Coffee
While the revenue increase seems attractive, some restaurateurs, especially those with small businesses, may approach these figures with skepticism. A common question arises: What is the cost of implementing QR menus? Is it worth it?
Our QR menu service, for instance, comes at a cost of 16$/mo per year with upfront payment. What do these numbers mean? Whether you believe it or not, 16 dollars equate to the price of 3-5 cups of coffee, assuming an average cost of 3-5 dollars per cup.
Analogizing it in this way makes it clear that the cost of using QR menus is insignificant compared to the potential revenue it can generate.
For an individual, 5 cups of coffee might seem trivial, but in the context of an entire business, it's negligible! Therefore, adopting QR menus may not be a significant expense even for small restaurant businesses, let alone larger establishments, where sales growth for high-margin items could potentially reach up to 35%.
