Larger brands that had enough resources and cash had survived by adopting new technologies, implementing new marketing strategies and adding new dishes to the menu to attract food lovers. But smaller brands and individual restaurant owners had to shut down due to decreasing sales and rising operating costs. If numbers are to be believed 80% of the restaurants fail during the first year due to weaker marketing strategies to attract local crowd.
‘Every consumer is now a digital consumer’ and in order to attract the digital consumer, restaurant owners need to adopt new technologies and one such promising technology is the Augmented Reality. Gone are the days when printed flyers and restaurant menus were enough to attract new customers. Today, customers want something more engaging and delightful in order to try out something new and spend on it.
Augmented Reality brings real-life experiences on smart phones and tablets that engages consumers’ on-the-go and opens different marketing channels for the restaurant owners. E.g. a single Augmented Reality mobile app enables a restaurant owner to exploit three different channels of marketing:
- Print ads in magazines or newspapers
- Billboard ads
- Restaurant Menu
Restaurant owners can engage the customers by allowing them to scan the logos, dishes, menus or advertisements in the newspapers, flyers, magazines and the billboards and experience the dishes as well as explore the restaurant itself in reality on their smart phones and tablets and take their experience to the next level.
Augmented Reality mobile app also delights the diners as they could simply scan the food menu and experience the dishes in reality before ordering. Engaging information such as ingredients, kitchen videos, preparation methods etc. can be made available in an interactive manner that takes the diners experience to the next level.
