What is the way forward following the COVID 19 pandemic restrictions affecting the hospitality industry?

There is the necessity to think differently about how to provide the great services and products that customers have come to expect but under a very different setting. The hospitality industry is facing new challenges and thoughts are focusing on how to re-open businesses. The need now is for an efficient and profitable operation that also maintains secure social distancing and adheres to “COVID- safe” working practices.

We now need to consider social distancing and ways going forward to ensure that this is achievable. Restaurants and bars will need to think about contactless payments, order and pay at table (by customers), takeaway food & drink options and handheld technologies that allow us to operate our businesses to the best of our abilities under very challenging circumstances.

How can the hospitality industry adapt to social distancing?

How do we adapt to the changes within our society? What areas of technology can be adapted, have you started to consider the way forward? Perhaps you may decide to offer takeout menus, home delivery service, click and collect, hand held ordering devices for staff and customers alike or one of the numerous other options that are springing up in an industry that is not going to give up without a fight.
