In a world where technology rules supreme, restaurants are looking for ways to innovate their game. And we can’t blame them – the restaurant industry has become so saturated, everyone wants to be in the front of the race.

If you want the same success for your business, then look no further. Here are some new – and interesting – technology restaurants should keep an eye out for:

Recipe Management

When you’re running an entire restaurant, you have to manage many recipes at a time – and doing that manually is a headache to say the least.

A Recipe Management System allows you to create perfectly compliant recipes – recipes where you can add or edit as many components as you want. Apart from such flexibility, this system allows you to accurately quantify each ingredient, so that you don’t have to compromise on accuracy and quality.

Loyalty Program

Although the concept is pretty well-known, it’s about time restaurants adopted the tech-savvy side of loyalty programs. Now, instead of using punch cards, restaurants can use such programs that can be found either separately, or already integrated within a Point Of Sale (POS) system. They reward loyal customers with points, which are not only easier to handle on a large scale, but also a lot more intriguing for customers.

This not only improves the overall customer experience, but also simplifies the marketing side of running a business: through points, your marketer will have a better idea on who visits more often and who does not – i.e. what things drive customers’ interests the most. Such valuable information will help make marketing campaigns a lot more effective.

Digital POS System

As much as owners want the most modern equipment out there, they also want a solution that makes running a restaurant easier. Such a system must house many management systems, so that a single platform is capable of controlling your business from all fronts.

For that, digital POS systems have become extensively popular; not only do they have important management systems, but they automate a lot of manual tasks. That way, important work like tracking sales, recording reports, and managing payrolls can be simplified, with little to no chances of error. Furthermore, all your data is stored on the cloud – meaning it is safe and secure.

Bonus: the look of using a tablet while ordering, conducting customer surveys, and paying is itself quite modern!

Automatic Inventory Management

As hectic as counting and logging your entire inventory is, it is an important aspect of running a restaurant well. What if you could turn that manual task automatic?

Well, with an inventory management software, you can! The one that Oscar provides has the ability to track your stock levels in real-time, even during sales. It is also capable of giving low stock alerts for when you’re about to run out of a certain ingredient. That way, your kitchen will never lack fresh ingredients needed for a perfect meal.

Apart from that, such a software prevents other menaces from affecting your business, such as overstocking, miscalculations, and even pilferage. It’s the ideal technology you’ll need if you never want your customers to leave with an empty stomach!


If we were to list all the technologies you could get your hands on, then this article would never have ended. In reality, it doesn’t matter if you have the least or most technologically advanced equipment out there; what matters is that you get the right tools, so that you can launch your restaurant to success.
