Flipdish Table Ordering Guide

A quick scroll through social media gives a clear window to the struggles faced by restaurants, bars and hotels today. Due to severe staffing shortages across the hospitality industry, and across the world, many businesses are operating on reduced days or hours, or not at all. Oh, and there's this thing called COVID-19 that won't seem to go away.

Hospitality has been shook — repeatedly — throughout the pandemic. Add to this, many staffers have retrained and left the industry, there are significant supply chain issues and consumer behaviour has changed forever.

Two years ago, you'd be hard-pressed to get anyone to use a QR code, now it's second nature. However, as table service became preferable, and in some cases mandatory, during COVID restrictions, a slew of new and ineffective QR code scanning products and QR Code Order & Pay apps were released. Many hospitality owners, who were struggling with staff shortages, took on this rushed technology. This wasted time and money.
