The cost of an employee in the near
post-pandemic talent market for quick-service restaurants continue to edge up
as the battle to reopen restaurants for inside dinning. Technology, can help
you with more today than you may think.
Yes, technology can save on labor cost while simultaneously providing more
focused, fast service according to Steven
Johnson, Grocerant Guru® at Tacoma, WA based Foodservice Solutions®.
Have you heard of Bite Ninja? They are helping restaurants
hire drive-thru staff, but not in the typical manner. These “Ninjas” can work
from anywhere in the country, often from the comfort of their living rooms.
So, Memphis entrepreneurs Will Clem and Orin
Wilson have been testing the software and processes for this virtual working
relationship at Will’s own restaurants. Now with all the kinks worked out, Bite
Ninja is launching nationwide.
Get this, Bite Ninja allows restaurant owners
a remote drive-thru ordering system through a network of highly skilled virtual
professionals capable of serving restaurants anywhere in the country.
Orin Wilson, stated, "Through our
software, recruiting, and training, we can provide restaurants with a huge
increase in upsells, near zero defect order-taking, and 100% staff reliability.
Add in a new, safer working environment and you have the ingredients for a
positive impact,”
Now think about how this works. So, the Bite
Ninja service allows customers to see the face of the person taking their order
on a large, video screen, but the employee is working at a remote location with
a virtual background to match the restaurant’s preference. They can be
anywhere, they are focused, they are fresh eyes and ears on your customers not
distracted.
Success does leave clues, Clem and Wilson have
been innovators from the beginning. Clem is a founder and partner in Memphis
Meats, which develops lab-grown, engineered meats as well as being a founder of
the Baby Jacks Franchise. Wilson has founded multiple businesses that focus on
finance, data, and technology. Together they believe they can save you money.
Wilson went on to say “With the negative
impact of the pandemic on the restaurant industry, we knew that disruptive innovation
was going to play a role going forward. We needed to find solutions that saved
restaurant owners money, allowed people to work in a safe environment, and made
customer service a more reliable resource in the restaurant,”
Bite Ninja already has a pipeline of 3,000
ninjas getting ready to work for restaurants across the country. “These are the
best people you could possibly get. We have been amazed with how well the
Ninjas perform after going through the Ninja training,” Clem says.
The Bite Ninja team provides a unique,
positive experience for restaurant customers every time they visit the
restaurant. Keep an eye out for Ninjas appearing at restaurants in your area
soon. Technology can help you drive top line sales and bottom-line profits.
