Le restaurant 100 % automatisé, mythe ou (future) réalité ? Quand on parle du futur de la restauration, on imagine de plus en plus des robots et des parcours entièrement automatisés. Des projections renforcées par l’essor de l’IA, qui intrigue autant qu’elle questionne.
Où en est vraiment le secteur aujourd’hui ? Jusqu’où peut-on automatiser, et avec quels impacts sur l’expérience client ?
Entre fantasme technologique et réalité opérationnelle, ce guide décrypte les évolutions en cours, les niveaux d’adoption selon les modèles de restauration et vous aide à faire le point en 5 minutes sur vos besoins et la valeur ajoutée de l’automatisation pour votre établissement.

Un dessert oublié, une modification non respectée, une cuisson à refaire… Ces erreurs font partie du quotidien, mais à force, elles coûtent cher : temps perdu, clients agacés, avis négatifs. On les met souvent sur le compte du manque d’attention ou du rush du midi. En réalité, elles viennent surtout de la façon dont la prise de commande est organisée.
Dans cet article, on décortique les principales causes des erreurs en restauration et on vous présente une solution efficace pour faire baisser les erreurs et les oublis dès les prochains services.

Tout le monde paie l’addition, mais pas de la même manière. En quelques décennies, la façon de payer au restaurant a complètement changé. Si 97% des consommateurs utilisent la carte bancaire, se cachent pourtant des habitudes très différentes selon les générations. Baby-boomers attachés aux repères, Gen X pragmatique, millennials ultra connectés, Gen Z “mobile first” : chacun aborde le moment du paiement à sa manière. Alors, comment proposer un paiement capable de satisfaire toutes les générations sans complexifier le parcours client ?

Dans les bars spécialisés, les stades ou les food courts, un nouveau format s’impose progressivement : le mur à bières. Ce dispositif en libre-service permet aux clients de se servir eux-mêmes, tout en transformant l’organisation du service dans les lieux très fréquentés. Longtemps associé aux bars à bière, il séduit désormais de plus en plus de complexes de loisirs. Pourquoi cette tendance prend-elle de l’ampleur ? Quels sont ses avantages pour les exploitants ? Et comment l’associer à un système de paiement cashless pour fluidifier les consommations ? Décryptage d’un concept qui s’installe peu à peu dans les lieux de loisirs.

Cart abandonment is often referred to as an e-commerce issue. In the foodservice sector, however, it's a very real but often invisible problem.
