Introducing the Hopt App: Table, Takeaway, Click & Collect for Contactless Ordering & Payment.
In the age of the COVID-19 pandemic, in which restaurants throughout the UK are closed for onsite diners, food service businesses have been forced to adapt to keep customers and staff safe. In many cases, enterprising business owners have taken the step of shifting to a takeaway model as a way of continuing to serve customers in a manner consistent with social distancing measures.
One of the challenges we’ve seen is that many restaurants have just a single phone line, and are thus not able to maximise their capacity for taking orders. This is why we have an exclusive partnership with Hopt - an order and pay app, that gives customers and businesses real flexibility.
With the Hopt app, every time you add or update a product or promotion on your Epos Now restaurant POS system, it updates on your Hopt menu, and automatically hides items that are marked as out of stock on your back office.
One example of an Epos Now customer who has enjoyed success since implementing Hopt is The Portland Hotel, Bar & Restaurant in Ashington. Initially worried about being unable to open as usual under social distancing measures, proprietor John Pringle said:
“We discovered Hopt after deciding to reopen as a takeaway. The setup is simple and any changes we make to our menu automatically change on the app. Our customers now have our menu permanently in their pockets and we’re currently trading at 85% of what we were doing before lockdown began”.
Not only is Hopt the ideal solution in a world where customers are unable to dine in your restaurant but it will allow you to maintain social distancing when you are able to reopen for customers, by allowing them to order and pay at their table.
With the Hopt app, you can manage a completely contactless ordering system from start to finish.
Contactless payment, pick up and delivery is a great way for you to show corporate responsibility to your customers and follow social distancing rules whilst continuing to keep the cash flowing in undoubtedly tough times.
Not only will Hopt allow you to operate as a takeaway whilst your restaurant is closed but it will help with social distancing measures once you are able to reopen to diners. With our Hopt integration, your customers will be able to order and pay from their tables meaning your staff will never have to transact and can focus on service.
