Will Contactless Ordering Impact My Venue’s Face-To-Face Customer Service?

Will Contactless Ordering Impact My Venue’s Face-To-Face Customer Service?

The most common concern in relation to contactless ordering is the impact it will have on venue’s face-to-face customer interactions. Offering access to a contactless ordering platform like MyTab will not take away from your venue’s face-to-face customer service for many reasons. Firstly, customers who want to order from staff or ask questions will still line up to speak to a staff member. Additionally, MyTab’s service type options (Table Service or Pick up/Collect) are only contactless when a customer is placing an order, your venue can maintain a positive face-to face interaction when the customer comes to collect their order or when their order is delivered to their table. MyTab merely introduces a greater variety of ways for venues to meet the ever changing needs of their customers.

MyTab is designed to adapt to your venue and can be customised and individualised to meet your venue’s specific needs. MyTab’s system allows you increased control over the operations of your venue so that you can focus on what is most important: your customers!

1. Order Management

MyTab integrates seamlessly into your business: only one iPad is necessary to utilise the system. However, depending on your business needs, MyTab’s system is able to scale to the size of any venue. There is the ability to utilise as many iPad’s as required and these screens can be set up to receive different types of orders available at your venue. By separating and organising where MyTab orders appear on your venue’s iPads, you are able to allow efficiency and transparency for your bar staff and kitchen staff.

I’m a small venue, is MyTab right for me?

MyTab is built to adapt to your venue and our system is customised and individualised to meet your venue’s specific needs. If you have a small venue, MyTab is an excellent resource that will help you to maximise your efficiency as a business. MyTab’s contactless payment system allows you to optimise your physical, financial and mental space so that you can focus on what’s most important: your customers!

1. Physical Space

The space required to integrate MyTab is minimal: only one ipad is needed if your venue is short on bench space. Most small venues place the MyTab iPad next to their current Point-of-Sale (POS) system for convenience of staff. 

MyTab’s system is designed to be paperless and is the perfect no-fuss solution to add to your current POS set-up.

The New Normal: Labour Shortages, Supply Chain Pressure & The Rise Of Digital Automation

The New Normal: Labour Shortages, Supply Chain Pressure & The Rise Of Digital Automation

In the year of 2020, the world was plunged into an unexpected season of isolation. COVID-19 disrupted the hospitality industry in an unprecedented fashion, with operational measures implemented quickly to slow the transmission of the virus. Social distancing, maximum occupancy requirements, vaccination mandates… Many different tools were implemented to mitigate the disruption caused by the pandemic, reactive to the circumstances of an ever-changing situation. 

As the world begins to open up again, 2022 brings its own challenges. Australia is currently experiencing severe supply chain pressure and labour shortages. Most recently, a foot-and-mouth outbreak in Indonesia threatens to impact Australia’s livestock industry. With these challenges, however, come new opportunities.

Hospitality vs. Inflation: 7 Tips To Help You Navigate Through This Uncertainty

Hospitality vs. Inflation: 7 Tips To Help You Navigate Through This Uncertainty

Inflation refers to the decrease of purchasing power of money within an economy. Hospitality venues are particularly vulnerable to being impacted by inflation due to its compounding effect on their business. Food prices increase, which drive up the overhead costs of the business, while customers begin to spend less due to the reduction of their purchasing power. 

It can seem like a vicious cycle, and can wreak havoc in small-to-medium businesses. In saying that, there are many ways that venues and hospitality businesses can navigate inflation. We’ve compiled our top tips below:

MyTab: Meet The Founders

MyTab: Meet The Founders

After working extensively in hospitality - and experiencing first hand the inconvenience faced for both customers and venues with traditional ordering methods - this was something my sister and I wanted to change. In 2017 an idea for contactless ordering within venues was conceptualised and by 2019, we had finalised our first complete iteration of MyTab.

Our names are Mikaela (28) and Eliza (25) Greene, we are two professional surfing sisters from Yallingup, WA. Before Covid-19, Eliza and I travelled the world competing on the WSL World Qualifying Series (WQS) surfing tour. In between surf training and competing, we financed our travels through working in hospitality as baristas, bartenders and waitresses. These experiences provided us with a unique insight into the fundamental mechanics of the hospitality industry, while highlighting the efficiency issues accompanying traditional ordering methods. Surely there was a more convenient way to combat customer indecisiveness and collecting payments before preparing an order?
