A digital ordering solution is pointing to its ordering technology as a way to influence customer purchasing behavior. The Online and Mobile Ordering Index by Tillster can examine a restaurant’s digital menus and sales, both online and via mobile apps.

Key Takeaways:

  • More than half of surveyed customers of fast casual restaurants expect to be ordering online next year.
  • Most customers looking to digitally order prefer to do it via the restaurant’s website or mobile app, rather than a third party ordering platform.
  • Survey data indicates restaurants can increase both number and value of customer orders by making online ordering options available.
