Challenges

The client wanted a solution to address operational efficiency.

Our client faced difficulty in long waiting times and times at the hotel F&B marketplace checkout during peak hours and holiday seasons and was looking to enhance operational efficiency and improve the guest experience.

  • Slow Checkouts: Using a barcode scanner to scan each item took a significant amount of time and slowed the checkout process.
  • Long Waiting Times: The slow checkout process led to long checkout waiting times and lines during peak hours.
  • Inaccurate inventory: During peak hours and the holiday season, inaccurate inventory information led to out-of-stock situations, which led to fewer sales.
  • Lack of Guest Satisfaction: Guests have only limited payment options. The overall slow, long, and limited F&B marketplace checkout process led the guests to be less satisfied with their checkout experience.

To address these issues, our client sought expertise with Digit7 for a robust solution.
