Dine-In Ordering Apps

This App Lets Users Order Ahead at Their Favorite Restaurant

— September 25, 2015 — Tech
Allset is an order ahead app that makes sure that patrons have their meals waiting for them at a reserved table at their favorite restaurants.

The order ahead app allows users to complete every step of the restaurant dining process (except for eating) from their phones. Users can select a restaurant, reserve a table, browse through the restaurant's menu, select a dish, order ahead and pay -- including tip -- through the Allset app. When they show up at the restaurant, the work and preparation part is already taken care of, and all that's left is to enjoy the meal.

The order ahead app also works to the advantage of restaurant owners and management, increasing turnover, reducing the amount of time and work put into transactions in the restaurant and helping fill the needs of busy customers.
Trend Themes
1. Order Ahead Apps - The rise of order ahead apps like Allset is disrupting the traditional dining experience by allowing users to complete every step of the restaurant process from their mobile devices.
2. Convenience Dining - The development of dine-in ordering apps is creating disruptive innovation opportunities in the food and restaurant industry by providing busy customers with a convenient way to reserve tables, browse menus, order ahead, and pay through a single app.
3. Streamlined Restaurant Operations - The implementation of dine-in ordering apps is revolutionizing restaurant management by reducing transaction time, increasing table turnover, and allowing staff to focus on providing quality service rather than transactional tasks.
Industry Implications
1. Food Delivery - The rise of dine-in ordering apps presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the food delivery industry, as restaurants can now streamline their operations and improve customer experience by offering order ahead options.
2. Mobile App Development - The growth of dine-in ordering apps is driving innovation in the mobile app development industry, as businesses seek to create user-friendly and feature-rich apps that can handle the entire dining process from reservations to payment.
3. Restaurant Management Software - The emergence of dine-in ordering apps provides opportunities for disruptive innovation in the restaurant management software sector, as businesses look for efficient solutions that can integrate with these apps to enhance operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.
