The latest in tech: Scheduling, delivery and automation

There are plenty of apps and/or websites that are designed to help make life a little easier, and at this year’s NRA Show, several companies revealed their plans to help integrate automation into their systems. An example of integrating automation into an app includes one company that delivers food by way of ordering directly from the app. Previously, errors were being made because the orders were put in manually by staff at the restaurant, however, new automation technology allows for the restaurant to have the order input directly via the app which leads to less confusion and less mistakes on the orders.

Key Takeaways:

  • The scheduler has been beta tested in the San Diego restaurants Urge American Gastropub and Pardon My French Bar & Kitchen.
  • Workers can update availability, ask for time off, swap shifts or apply for extra hours.
  • The block sends a wireless signal to a digital wristband worn by the server.The wristband vibrates and lets the server know what the guests need and at which table.

“With the integration, Grubhub’s website and apps will also have automatic access to menu updates and pricing changes, and financial information will be consolidated, eliminating the need for staff to juggle information from multiple devices.”
