WHERE IT
STARTED

in both grocery & restaurant
properties OBSERVATIONS 1 Individuals interested in eating with their colleagues spent the bulk of their time alone 2 Many guests were pressed for time during peak business hours and wanted good food quickly SOLUTIONS 1 Flexible POS and Service Design that enabled any item to be ordered from any station and picked up at the express counter. 2 Ordering online and take-out, dine-in, or get it delivered

properties OBSERVATIONS 3 Families were in the restaurant together but were not necessarily interested in eating the same food or even eating together SOLUTIONS 3 Richtree Market Pass – a mobile app with a feature called “grouping” which allowed members of a group to associate themselves together by the head of the group scanning each members Richtree Market Pass QR code

4 Payment options were “traditional”
in both grocery & restaurant properties OBSERVATIONSSOLUTION 4 Not only did we focus on any item form any station, we also wanted to make sure that all payment types were accepted at every station (no cash at Kiosks). This included accepting mobile payment at kiosks.

properties OBSERVATIONS 5 Customers made multiple purchases from multiple stations = multiple payments and standing in multiple queues. SOLUTION 5 Strategically placed Kiosks throughout the space to address wait time and queuing issues. iPad POS allowed customers service associates to take orders while customers waited in the queue.

6 Menu and Product Information
was not consistent across all ordering points.

properties OBSERVATIONS 9 Next to speed, entertainment was still a driving force in the selection of dining experience SOLUTION 9 For those who wanted to be entertained we would deliver value added experiences throughout and experiences were designed with the future in mind. Interactive video wall would eventually support ordering and promotions.
