Operators nationwide have had to respond to the fallout of COVID-19 and not only pivot their offers to survive but jump start areas of their business that may have been lying dormant for some time.
The hospitality sector in particular has had to react swiftly to changing customer habits, adjusting to a ‘new normal’ and as such, evolve with and embrace technology in a way that most have not done so before. With economic commentators predicting a 5-year technology adoption in just 18 months, operators need to be prepared in the short term but thinking long term in line with consumer habits, wants and needs.
One provider in particular is at the forefront of helping hospitality get back on its feet, Pepper HQ, a B2B tech enabler offering the complete ordering and loyalty solution for restaurants, pubs, bars and coffee shops.
Whilst the restaurant tech space has become a seemingly crowded marketplace overnight, Pepper has been working closely with hospitality businesses over the past 5 years to evolve their product continuously into what it is today. As a result, in the current climate, Pepper has been able to provide the most comprehensive suite of capabilities integrating directly with restaurants’ existing technology. Pepper has enabled restaurants, pubs, bars and coffee shops to take their operations to the next level and provide a best-in-class digital experience for customers, as they navigate their way through these unique times.
