Why do so many enterprise hospitality brands (67%!) stick with technology they find frustrating?

Well, considering how stressful it is to make a decision about new tech, it’s not surprising.

🕵️Vendors all seem to make the same promises; how can you identify the right one?
🤔 It’s hard enough to understand the tech your business already uses; how are you supposed to know how to improve it?
😥 The responsibility for the new tech sits on your shoulders: how can you ensure it will pay off?

Ultimately, sticking with tech that doesn’t work won’t help your business achieve its goals.

So how can you take the stress out of the decision process?

💡Map out the exact tech your business uses right now.
💡Outline what you want your new tech to achieve for your operation.
💡Understand the different approaches to restaurant tech out there.
💡Most importantly: ask potential vendors the right questions.

Looking for a tasty and healthy start to 2024?

The City of London is home to some of the top salad brands, and it's amazing to see three brands we partner with featured in this recent Financial Times article covering five of the City of London's top salad bars!

Shout out to The Salad Project, atis and URBAN GREENS 🎉 🌱

"In recent years, [London]’s salad offerings have exploded, and this is matched by a public shift on healthy eating: a 2022 McKinsey study found that 38 per cent of UK consumers claim to eat significantly more healthily since the start of the pandemic."

We’re part-way through January already (😦), and we’re starting to get excited about some of the amazing events we’ve got coming up at the start of this year...

📌 Restaurant Marketer & Innovator is always a brilliant way to kick-off the new year, with a packed agenda including Wingstop Restaurants Inc., Brewhouse & Kitchen and Tortilla Mexican Grill plc. A few of our Mojis will be in attendance so let us know if you're heading there!

📌 In February we’re very excited to be sponsoring MCA's Hostech once more, with the 2024 agenda featuring an eclectic lineup of speakers including GAIL's Bakery, PizzaExpress & Burger King.

📌 Then there’s the ever-insightful MCA Food to Go conference the following month where we’re so excited to hear from FIREAWAY PIZZA LTD, Taco Bell & Pret A Manger. Throwback to last year when our very own Becca Painter took to the stage to talk all things smart menu management! 💡

📌 And rounding it all off is the very exciting MCA Hospitality Awards, with the list of finalists recently announced including LEON Restaurants, Black Sheep Coffee & GAIL's Bakery.

Will we see you at any of the above? ☝️

MCA Insight - Leaders in Eating & Drinking Out Market Insight

Nowadays, coffee shop success takes a lot more than just finding the right roast.

Between getting the human connection just right, trying to get a loyalty scheme off the ground, and grappling with tech systems, it can feel impossible to see how your operation could grow at scale.

So what are the top challenges facing brands in 2024? And how can you solve them?

☕️ Maintaining the human experience whilst scaling efficiently

Your customers love the welcoming atmosphere they know they’ll get when they walk in, but taking manual POS orders and accepting delivery orders from multiple tablets is taking too much time and losing you too much money.

A single technology platform streamlines all of this helping to reduce unnecessary queueing, removing the stress and inefficiencies of manual POS orders, and empowering your staff to deliver the warm customer experience that they’ve come to know and love.

💜 Deliver a rich, multi-channel loyalty experience

Out with the paper stamp cards and disjointed digital loyalty experience - 2024 is the year to bring all your channels under one roof and connect every touchpoint together so your customers feel rewarded every time they visit, encouraging them to visit again and again.

📲 Build an app that works for your specific coffee brand

‘If you’re on their home screen, it’s real love.’

A bespoke, fully-branded app enables you to bring your brand to life outside of the four walls of your coffee shop, introduce new ordering channels to your customers, and can be a hugely valuable home for your loyalty scheme.

"The Felix Project believes in a vision of London where no-one goes hungry and good food is never wasted."

The Felix Project collects fresh, nutritious food that can't be sold and ensures it is provided to food vulnerable communities across London. They deliver 29M meals to over 1,000 charities and schools and keep 12,149 tonnes of good food out of landfills.
