Show Notes:       

This is Part 1 of the contactless payment series… more than just contactless payments.

Poll results from my social media study: 

 “How are you thinking about returning to restaurants?

A) I'm ready to dine inside restaurants now (51%)

B) I'm ready to dine using outdoor seating only (18%)

C) The most I am comfortable with is pickup or takeout (27%)

D) I'm only going to do delivery for now (1%)

E) I'm not eating at or ordering from restaurants (3%)

This social experiment spawned an idea… let’s hear from somebody in each one of these categories and get their take on things, first hand.  This is the perfect introduction into our podcast series as it will lay the foundation groundwork for everything we will be talking about.  

(Interviews with five individuals, one from each category)

Studying these results give you the opportunity to find ways to enhance things that you do to increase the guest’s confidence and find ways to alter their behavior and drive more sales into your restaurant.  

RTN has a new Contactless Payment Workgroup.  Many industry leaders as well as many major operators.
