The restaurant industry faces a severe staffing crisis. Learn practical strategies to maintain excellent service with fewer team members — using smart technology, workflow optimization, and automation.

Key Benefits

Self-service ordering

QR code ordering lets guests browse the menu and place orders without waiting for a waiter. One server can now handle twice as many tables.

Streamlined kitchen workflow

Digital orders go directly to the kitchen — no handwritten notes, no miscommunication. This eliminates order errors and speeds up preparation.

Automated notifications

Push notifications alert staff about new orders instantly. No need for someone to constantly monitor screens or relay orders between front and back of house.

Focus on hospitality

When technology handles order-taking and payments, your staff can focus on what matters most — making guests feel welcome and ensuring a great dining experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many staff members can I save with QR ordering?

Most restaurants report needing 1-2 fewer waiters per shift. One server can handle 10-15 tables instead of 5-7 when guests order via QR code.

Will guests feel neglected without a waiter taking orders?

No. Studies show guests actually prefer the convenience of ordering at their own pace. Your staff can focus on hospitality — greeting guests, answering questions, and ensuring satisfaction.

How quickly can I implement these changes?

Most restaurants set up FoxiFood within a day. Print QR codes, brief your staff on the new workflow, and you are ready. The learning curve for both staff and guests is minimal.
