Restaurants Removing The Human Element

Restaurants Removing Human Interaction Little Ceasars Reserve And Ready 225x300, The DiJulius Group

Little Caesars is testing a new “Reserve-N-Ready” service in about a dozen locations in Arizona. This service allows Customers to pick up their mobile orders from a hot box located in the restaurant. It is also the growing trend of the human-less Customer transaction. Here is how it works:

  • Customers order and pay for their food on the Little Caesars mobile app and are notified when their order is ready.
  • Upon arriving at the store, Customers input a three-digit PIN or scan a QR code on the Pizza Portal. A door will pop open to reveal the Customer’s order.

Little Caesars isn’t alone in avoiding human contact whenever possible: McDonald’s has been rolling out self-service Self Serving Kiosks Mcdonalds 300x200, The DiJulius Groupordering kiosks in restaurants since 2016. Panera also offers a pickup service that lets Customers order online, show up and grab their food from a special area in their local restaurant. The high-end eatery Eatsa in San Francisco took it one step further. The restaurant eliminated all human interaction by using tablets to take Customer orders. Meals are then served from cubbies with translucent screens on the front bearing the Customer’s name.
