OrderPay

 

OrderPay is described as a hospitality ‘super app’ that supports a sector-wide coalition of leading eating and drinking out businesses across 6,000 venues. OrderPay technology provides a ‘seamless’ ordering and payment experience, with no location or table number entry required. Payment can be made immediately or automatically taken on departure, with the option to split the bill before or after ordering. The app includes a number of features that Orderpay says will be key for venues now and in the future, including leveraging beacon technology, which allows the app to identify where customers are sat in a venue, and a ‘Tap and Go’ function that gives operators the ability to offer their customers a self-service solution through scanning and payment for a product off the shelf. OrderPay has already partnered with leading operators such as Stonegate, PizzaExpress in hospitality epossoftware, Cote and Drake & Morgan.

 

 

 The app is available for consumers to download now to coincide with the reopening of hospitality. www.orderpay.com​​​ Slerp​ Direct-to-consumer online ordering solution Slerp has launched a table ordering service, allowing on premise customers to order direct to their table via their phone. The new order direct to table functionality will enable people to use Slerp for traditional table ordering, orders for pickup at the bar, stalls in parks and food halls, pints-to-go while maintaining a safe social distance from restaurant staff and other diners. The move comes amidst rapid growth for the Slerp business, which says it has helped hundreds of businesses pivot to an online ordering and on-demand delivery model. Slerp customers include JKS Restaurants (Gymkhana, Sabor, Brigadiers), Angela Hartnett’s Café Murano, Ottolenghi and José Pizarro.

 

 

“As restaurants look to begin re-opening in July, it’s really important that businesses choose the right tech partner to connect with customers and meet their demands. Slerp is built by operators, for operators,” says JP Then, the founder of both Slerp and London doughnut business Crosstown. “We’re tried and tested, and you can see this in the multiple high-profile operators who have trusted us as their online ordering partner. Businesses need a partner with the full suite of options to really drive revenue and connect with their customers. With direct to table ordering, Slerp can be trusted to help businesses to deliver both on premise and at home”. Launched in 2019, Slerp is described as an online ordering, direct-to-consumer technology, which plugs into a retailers existing website, enabling them to take control of their customer journey and relationships and offer on-demand delivery, pickup or order at table. www.slerp.com​​​ Sprout​ Marketing automation platform Sprout has launched a free-to-use check in app that allows venues to capture customers details and help with the NHS Track and Trace scheme. The Check In app uses the same system in use across the company’s Australian customer base and is now being made available to all hospitality venues in the UK to support their reopening requirements. Customers check-in at the venue easily by scanning a QRcode on entry or once they have been seated, with no requirement for them to download an app. Using secure GDPR Compliant infrastructure, the venue captures and securely stores the data with the date and time of check-in. It can then access and export the data at any time with a search / filter for any given date in response to track and trace associated with potential outbreaks. The initiative is based on current guidelines and can be changed easily based upon new regulations and requirements as they emerge, it says. “During these trying and challenging times, we want to help – we are all in this together,” says Sprout UK & EMEA director Dhilon Solanki. “It is vital both customers and staff feel safe when restaurants and bars open again, and we aim to give these venues peace of mind.” All data collected by the Check In App is stored and deleted as per Govt guidelines. Data is only accessible by the Check In App account holder. The free app is suitable for all operators in the hospitality industry, with both single or multi-sites.
