The Features of Mobile Apps
Mobile Apps designed to promote restaurants and make ordering, finding menu choices and even locating a restaurant closest to a customer’s current location are ways restaurants are benefiting from technology. According to a recent study performed by Hospitality Technology the following features are popular for restaurant Apps:
Location-Based Marketing
Location-based marketing allows businesses to convert mobile users based on their current location. A person searching for the best pizza joint within a four block radius of their current location will provide them with choices they can travel to easily and immediately. If your restaurant is not currently online they will not find you. Increased use of mobile Apps and mobile sites are growing in leaps and bounds by digital marketing savvy restaurateurs with more than half of those surveyed providing online searches with a mobile site and 30 percent more having their own mobile App to capture the increasing numbers of clients using location-based searches to find their next meal.
Mobile Friendly Web Design
Making sure your website is mobile friendly is important so that clients can read your menu easily without having to adjust for your PC format. A fluid design allowing your site to adapt to the device your visitors are using is also effective. According to “The Mobile Marketer” 65 percent of customers use their phones to find a restaurant that is within walking and/or driving distance of their current location. Features such as click to call for reservations or click to locate for a map are the new way your business can seal the deal with new clients. The traffic analytics your website captures also provides essential customer analysis data needed for future marketing initiatives.
If you want to increase profitability, helping people find you is the basic route to take. Work with your restaurant accounting firm so they may budget for digital marketing expenditures this year
