The challenge: increasing staff pressure and the search for operational efficiency
Summer bars need to peak during high season. The atmosphere is often great and the terrace fills up quickly, but efficiently organizing staff on the floor remains a major challenge every year. Long waiting times for a waiter to appear at the table, miscommunication during order taking, and incorrect open tabs at the end of the evening all squeeze margins.
Summer bar Bloom sought a reliable solution to organize operations more smoothly, quickly, and flawlessly. The goal? To achieve more with fewer hands, increase service capacity during peak hours, and simultaneously maintain tight control over current inventory — without compromising hospitality.
Our guests order online by scanning the QR codes on the tables. Orders are automatically split between our bar and kitchen, allowing us to serve our guests much faster and more efficiently.
The solution with Beyond Ordering
Summer bar Bloom digitized its terrace operations and now processes over 95% of orders entirely through the smart QR platform:
1. Location-aware QR ordering flow
Each table at Bloom has a personalized, location-aware QR code. Guests simply scan it with their smartphone and order and pay directly online at their own pace. Waiting for a waiter or queuing at the bar is a thing of the past.
2. Automatic and targeted receipt routing
As soon as an order is placed, the system automatically splits it. The bar and kitchen receive customized tickets containing only the items they need to prepare. This ensures maximum calm and efficiency at the service points.
3. Flawless runner flow
Since all online orders are paid for digitally in advance, staff (runners) only need to deliver the drinks and snacks. Thanks to the exact table linking in the software, there is no confusion whatsoever about table numbers or products.
4. Hybrid POS integration
For guests who prefer personal contact, a waiter remains available. Bar staff manually enter these orders via the all-in-one terminal. These cash and card payments seamlessly integrate with the online QR flow in the back office.
The result: Profitable operations and a calm work environment
The transition to the Beyond Ordering platform has optimized the summer bar both operationally and financially:
1. Direct savings on staff costs
Automating the ordering and payment process reduces the required terrace staff by over 25%, while increasing throughput and revenue per table.
2. 100% accurate and paid orders
No more misunderstandings due to miscommunication and zero risk of unpaid or outstanding bills at the end of the day.
3. Real-time stock and data management
Management has 100% live insight into product availability and service point status. This real-time performance data enables immediate and factual adjustments to offerings and staffing levels.
