Restaurants increase efficiency by providing customers with automated options

Implications - For most consumers, the rise of technology has translated into a more convenient and streamlined everyday life, and in turn established higher expectations in terms of efficiency. In the world of QSR and dining, brands are helping to offer a quicker option to patrons through kiosks and apps that allow customers to order and pay for their meals without the help of staff. Though this can come at the expense of a more personal touch on behalf of the brands who adopt this strategy, this shift empowers tech-savvy consumers.
