Data Driven Restaurant Management: How to Maximize Your Profitability with QR Menu Analytics

As a restaurant or café operator, you know the turnover in your cash register at the end of the day. You can see how much food was sold from your end-of-day Z reports or your POS system. Well, you know what was sold, but do you know what was not sold, why it was not ordered even though it was noted on the menu?

Traditional paper menus are the biggest communication gap between you and your customers. When a customer picks up a menu, how long did he/she stay on which page, which photo of which product did he/she look at for a long time but gave up ordering, did he/she back out when he/she saw the price or did he/she not like the product? You can never learn the answers to these questions with paper menus. Managing your business based solely on sales figures is like groping in the dark.

In the ever-competitive food & beverage industry, it's the businesses that make decisions based on "data", not "feelings". This is where Menu1.io's Advanced QR Menü Analytics comes in and gives you the opportunity to read your customers' minds.

1. What is Menu Engineering and Why Does It Need Data?

Menü engineering is the art of strategically optimizing menu design and pricing by analyzing the popularity and profitability of your restaurant's menu items. Its goal is to increase sales of the products with the highest profit margin.

But for successful menu engineering, you need hard data. Paper menus only tell you what products have been ordered. Whereas digital QR menus map the customer's decision-making process. Tracking a customer's digital footprints in menus gives you a huge operational advantage that you may never have imagined.
