Thai Heaven's journey with online ordering took a transformative turn with the introduction of
Front Eats. Prior to embracing this new innovative platform, Thai Heaven had been hesitant to dive into the realm of online ordering, preferring traditional methods. However, recognizing the potential for revenue growth, Thai Heaven made the bold decision to integrate Front Eats into their operations.
What sets Front Eats apart from other third-party online ordering systems is its seamless integration with the kitchen workflow. Unlike conventional platforms that necessitate complex POS system switches or expensive third-party integration services, Front Eats simplifies the process by directly printing orders to the kitchen. This not only streamlines operations but also eliminates the burden of hefty monthly fees, offering Thai Heaven a cost-effective solution with minimal upfront investment.
The transition to Front Eats was swift and hassle-free for Thai Heaven, requiring nothing more than a tablet to get started. Within a remarkably short span of three months, the impact was palpable. Order volumes surged, and online traffic to Thai Heaven's ordering page saw a notable uptick. While not all visitors converted into customers, the increased visibility garnered through Front Eats bolstered Thai Heaven's standing within the local community, reflected in enhanced rankings on Google and Google My Business.
Beyond the realm of increased revenue and visibility, Front Eats presented Thai Heaven with a valuable tool for customer retention: the built-in loyalty program. Remarkably, every customer who opted for online ordering through Front Eats also signed up for the loyalty program—an impressive testament to its appeal. The simplicity of the point-based system, coupled with its customization options, proved to be irresistible incentives for customers to return, effectively cultivating a loyal customer base for Thai Heaven.
In essence, Front Eats not only facilitated Thai Heaven's foray into online ordering but also served as a catalyst for growth and customer loyalty. By embracing innovation and adapting to evolving consumer preferences, Thai Heaven not only expanded its customer base but also fortified its position as a beloved culinary destination in the community.
NO.1 China is a small QSR restaurant located in Smyrna, GA, just about 20 minutes away from Downtown Atlanta. The popularity of Chinese take out restaurants have been consistently rising over the past few decades, being nearly cemented into the cultural weave of America's food scene. Due to this, Chinese take out restaurants, not unlike NO.1 China, do well on online ordering and delivery platforms.
