Theft or Teachable Moment?

PAR Team — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 19:09:15 +0000

Theft and fraud are unfortunate realities for restaurants. According to the Food Industry Association, 85% of U.S. food retailers named theft or fraud (aka shrinkage) as the number-one threat to their businesses last year.

QSRs are among the hardest hit of all, with losses from theft reaching 7% of sales in the segment. In an industry where typical net profit margins range from 3% to 5% on average, such losses can effectively erase an entire quarter’s profitability. This reality makes restaurant loss prevention a key priority for brands of all types and sizes.

Shrinkage is primarily the result of theft — about 75% according to the National Restaurant Association — and most of it is done by team members. This puts regional, district, and store managers in the uncomfortable position of constantly policing employees to protect profits.

The methods employees use to steal are extremely varied, from fake refunds, discounts, or voids to giving away free food to friends. All these tactics accomplish the same objective: obscuring what really happened at the register to keep the cash or food.

Ironically, employee theft and fraud can be relatively easy to detect. The real challenge for QSRs is time management. Combing through every transaction for discrepancies is incredibly time-consuming — so much so that it is basically impossible to do manually, especially when overseeing multiple stores.

That’s where technology comes in.

Identifying suspect transactions manually is not a realistic approach for QSRs with several, dozens, or hundreds of stores, each of which logs hundreds of transactions every day. The investment in time and resources would not only negate any potential gains, but it would also detract from a long list of daily activities that provide genuine strategic and operational value.

To solve this problem, many QSRs are turning to the automation provided by restaurant loss prevention software. These platforms quickly target questionable transactions for follow-up, enabling managers to focus only on those stores, transactions, or employees that deserve attention. These efforts can be incorporated within a daily routine. They also provide insights that can be replicated across multiple stores.

One of the most important benefits of automated fraud detection is the ability to differentiate between employee theft and human error. For example, the platform might surface a series of big-ticket returns during a late-night shift at a store when the manager is likely not there. The timing is an obvious red flag. But is an actual crime occurring, or is it something more innocent?

In many cases, managers discover employees are not following proper procedures for disposing of food, accounting for inventory, handling returns, or other common activities. This creates an opportunity to retrain specific employees in an efficient and focused way, while sharing these learnings with other stores to reduce risk similar errors from happening elsewhere.

By prioritizing transactions for special attention, automated restaurant loss prevention software gives management enough time to understand the situation and follow up effectively. It also helps brands avoid the default approach of firing the employees involved, which leads to unnecessary turnover, compromised customer service, and a cascade of staffing issues.

Essentially, automated fraud detection empowers district managers, area coaches, and others to keep closer tabs on each store without the need to visit all of them daily. On top of saving money, this frees up valuable time that can be spent on coaching team members and improving the guest experience.

Automation is also useful for uncovering stores that have been victimized by phone or email scams. These scams are much like consumer scams, initiated by a caller or sender supposedly “from corporate” telling an unsuspecting worker that an audit has uncovered a serious problem — one that can be resolved by issuing a gift card or refund.

Like anyone who has been scammed, employees are often embarrassed to admit what happened and are afraid they will be fired if they report the fraud. But with automated detection, managers can identify the problem, quickly investigate, and build trainings that prevent other stores from repeating the same mistake. Turning a common threat into a stronger overall defense can save substantial time and money.

As we all know, there will be times when what’s really going on at the register is employee theft or fraud. Automated loss prevention restaurant software delivers several advantages in these instances. Most critically, it makes it far faster and easier for managers to identify when theft happens and take appropriate action — without the need to devote hours on tedious manual review.

Even better, many of these tools can be integrated with popular video surveillance platforms that allow managers to review flagged transactions in parallel with video footage, yielding a clearer situational understanding of what went on compared to data alone. In just a few minutes, managers can gather the evidence needed to determine whether theft occurred and confidently take next steps.

Managers can also bring these same assets along with them when reviewing any questionable transaction face-to-face with the employee involved. If theft has occurred, the manager can proceed accordingly. If the employee just made a mistake, then it’s a simple matter of training.

Either way, these conversations serve as a long-term theft deterrent, helping to establish a culture where employees understand that all suspicious activities will be identified and investigated — rather than simply getting lost in the shuffle like so many are today.

Please Pull Forward

Samantha Young — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 21:30:27 +0000

Widely known as the most profitable square foot in food service, the drive-thru is having a moment. Drive-thru dynamics seem to be changing, so QSR operators are intensely focused on updating the experience in our current era of mobile orders, hurried customers, and changing lifestyles.

Two recent examples highlight the range of innovations which have delivered mixed results. On one end, we have Starbucks, which announced last June it would begin sunsetting its “mobile order and pickup-only” stores introduced in 2019. While mobile orders aren’t going away, the idea here is to bring customers back into the traditional Starbucks environment to slow down a bit and converse with the staff and other members of the community.

On the other end, we have Taco Bell, which started rolling out AI-powered drive-thrus at 500 U.S. locations to reduce mistakes and speed up service. This led to some unfortunate consequences captured in viral videos, two of which included a customer ordering 18,000 cups of water from the drive-thru intercom (which crashed the system) and another getting angry with an AI agent that can’t stop upselling beverages.

The point is not whether these experiments succeed or fail. The larger question is: how can QSRs optimize the drive-thru experience during a time of constant, rapid, and unpredictable change?

Diving into the Data

Let’s back up a bit to take a closer look at why this part of the QSR is under such a microscope. While the drive-thru still represents around 70% of revenues, the trends are negative — and they’ve been that way since early 2024. Month-to-month drops ranged from 5% to as much as 13% during this time.

At the same time, we’ve never seen so many takeout orders. A report from the National Restaurant Association says that 75% of restaurant visits involve takeout. Almost all consumers (95%) say that “fast service” is critical to the experience.

What’s going on here? Nobody is exactly sure, which is why so many QSR brands are making changes to the experience. What is clear is that consumer behaviors are shifting and operators need to adapt if they are going to protect this highly profitable space.

Getting Beyond Speed

In previous decades, speed was the name of the game. Cars per hour was the only drive-thru metric that mattered. But brands are discovering that a fast experience doesn’t build loyalty if it misses other important factors — like order accuracy and friendly service. In this sense, focusing only on speed and throughput is a short-term win at best.

Of course, what customers say they want doesn’t necessarily align with what they do. Consumers want their drive-thru order quickly. But like any of us, they also want that order to be right, and they want the whole experience to seem easy.

You can draw a straight line between the demand for speed and accuracy and widespread adoption of AI tools, which are designed to reduce human error and help QSRs process more orders faster. This isn’t the case yet, but let’s assume that drive-thru system AI agents will eventually get it right. When they do, is this the magic bullet?

Probably not. Because consumers also tell us the human touch is very important. Guests want to feel acknowledged, greeted, and attended to — if only for a couple minutes. An AI agent can’t really do this in the way customers want. Which puts us back at square one, trying to make the drive-thru more efficient without removing people from the equation.

The Diversity of Consumers

One mistake we all might be making is thinking of “consumers” as a single entity with consistent wants and needs. In reality, each of us brings our own opinions and experiences into the drive-thru lane, and not all of these are the same.

I’ll use myself as an example. On one hand, I appreciate what Starbucks is trying to do with its “return to the coffee shop” approach. I would love to sit in a vibrant coffee shop, enjoying my favorite drink side-by-side with my friends. But I also have four kids with four separate school drop-offs and after-school activities. My schedule simply doesn’t have room for an in-store experience.

My average workday also involves a lot of screen time and apps, and computer tasks. So, the last thing I want to do outside of work is pull up to the drive-thru window and talk to a robot.

But I’m just one person. And I can easily imagine a person who does have time to enjoy a more relaxed coffee shop experience. Or a person who spends their whole day talking to people and is relieved and delighted that they can get their drive-thru order without talking to anyone.

5 Ways to Adapt

The answer to this drive-thru dilemma isn’t about choosing between humans or AI, or between speed or warmth. It’s about finding balance. That balance looks different for every brand, but it starts with intentional action. Here are five actions that your brand can take.

The fastest drive-thru isn’t always the best one. It’s the one that feels effortless. Break the experience into small steps from greeting to handoff, and look for moments where tension builds. Even a 10-second friction point can ripple across your entire operation. Use your timer or camera data to spot where guests pause, hesitate, or repeat themselves, then design against those moments.

Speed means something different to every guest. Some want a quick grab-and-go. Others want confirmation that their order is right. Use what you already know — loyalty data, past orders, daypart habits — to give them that choice. Whether it’s a quiet lane for quick reorders or a custom lane for complex ones, personalization turns efficiency into loyalty.

Technology can make things faster, but empathy is what keeps guests coming back. Reframe headset shifts as moments of connection, not just throughput. A calm tone, a name at the window, or a simple “thanks for being patient” has more power than any AI script.

Not every store needs a full-tech refresh. Instead, you can layer improvements in phases (e.g., noise-canceling headsets, followed by smarter timers, followed by confirmation screens) and track how much each phase moves your metrics. Small, steady modernization builds confidence without overwhelming crews or budgets.

Use QR codes, text prompts, or short post-visit surveys to capture feedback while it’s still fresh. By combining this feedback with your operational data, you can see not just what’s fast, but what feels fast. Then adjust monthly, not annually.

The drive-thru will always be a study of contrasts: human and machine, efficiency and empathy, routine and chaos. The brands that win won’t be the ones chasing trends. They’ll be the ones that keep learning from the people in their restaurant’s lane.

PAR offers a proven portfolio of drive-thru solutions to help operators find that balance, combining reliability, clarity, and innovation to meet guests where they are and keep your most profitable square foot performing at its best.

Who Buys the Fix?

PAR Team — Mon, 06 Oct 2025 16:42:35 +0000

All owners and managers want their restaurant hardware to run flawlessly, but not all of them approach repair services from the same perspective. In fact, we’re learning that generational divides play a larger role in decision-making than we previously believed.

In general, Baby Boomers and Gen Xers see hardware repair services as a reactive safeguard tied to protecting investments and reducing risk. Millennials and Gen Z, meanwhile, push for proactive solutions: the former lean on data and transparency, while the latter also demand instant, digital-first support on top of this transparency.

As repair is defined differently across generations, these shifting expectations are reshaping the service landscape. This article looks at this expanding diversity among the decision-makers for hardware repair and field installation services, and why understanding and meeting all their expectations is just as critical as fixing the equipment itself. (Spoiler: those overseeing equipment upkeep are increasingly trending younger.)

For seasoned franchise owners who are often older individuals, hardware repair services act as a safeguard, much like insurance. Their main goal is to protect investments and keep operations running smoothly, letting owners focus on the bigger picture of their business. These operators are willing to lock in multi-year service contracts when they view them as reliable safety nets. To them, repair is a straightforward break/fix assignment: it only needs to be front-of-mind when something goes wrong, and trust is built face-to-face.

Many Boomer and Gen X operators came up in an era without today’s constant presence of technology or predictive analytics, and their approach reflects this hands-on, reactive mentality. It wasn’t unusual for them to take on hardware repairs themselves (and things were built better back then, so the need for repair was less frequent). But as restaurant systems have become increasingly complex, most older restaurant owners now delegate repair tasks to younger team members who bring fresh perspectives and new expectations to the role. In other words, the person paying for the POS repair and other hardware fixes may not be the same person who uses the equipment. Restaurant ownership itself is also becoming much more generationally diverse.

As Millennials increasingly take on ownership and system maintenance roles, they approach hardware repairs with a more digital mindset. Data and transparency are central to how they run their business, so it feels natural for them to manage repairs using predictive service models, preventive maintenance schedules, transparent SLAs, and dashboards that track uptime like a KPI. To them, reactive repair seems outdated — no longer just an insurance policy waiting in the background. Instead, they want data to help spot and prevent issues before they arise.

Millennials remain open to working with live technicians and value building partnerships, but they’ll only work with technicians who are proactive in their approach. They expect specialists to be engaged and involved, not simply waiting for a call but actively helping to keep systems running smoothly.

The next generation of managers grew up in a world that’s always connected. For Gen Z, dialing a 1-800 number and speaking with someone directly is simply out of the question. They expect to jump into a live chat and have a technician dispatched that same day, all without any need for human interaction. Gen Z customers don’t seek social connection or relationship building. They want the technician to arrive, fix the issue, and be on their merry way. Next time a problem arises, they simply get on live chat again. It doesn’t matter who comes, as long as the person is competent.

For Gen Z, repair is about convenience, not contracts. Even predictive analytics aren’t enough. They expect everything to be fast, proactive, and digital-first, reducing predictive service to a bare minimum for meeting their expectations.

The Takeaways

Now that we’ve identified the distinct generational attitudes and expectations toward repair, how should restaurant equipment repair services adapt their approach? What key insights and best practices can help them effectively meet the needs of Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z?

Perhaps the biggest takeaway is to make sure to recognize the assumptions and comfort zones of each generation and meet them where they are. At the same time, introducing the proactive, data-driven, and digital-first mindset of younger generations could serve as a catalyst for improving uptime across the board.

For Boomers and Gen X highly who trust and reliability, adding predictive models as a layer on top of their existing priorities could yield significant cost-saving benefits. According to an article on xtraCHEF.com, a four-hour outage at a restaurant with $10,000 in daily revenue can cost up to $4,000. An article on Milagrocorp.com also reported that a 1% drop in uptime may result in $12,470 in lost revenue annually. Another study revealed that unplanned equipment failures drain as much as 11% of annual revenue across QSRs.

These numbers clearly show why operators are eager to move from reactive to proactive strategies. Younger generations are leading the way, and ongoing technological advances are making it easier and more cost-effective for all operators to adopt these smart restaurant repair and maintenance models. This shift is more than a trend. It’s where the entire industry is heading.

Bridging the Gap Between Payments and Loyalty: Key Takeaways from Our Latest Webinar

PAR Team — Mon, 19 May 2025 18:50:48 +0000

What happens when payments and loyalty stop living in separate tech stacks and finally start working together? That’s exactly what we explored in our recent webinar with Restaurant Business Online, where experts from PAR, Punchh, and Bounteous sat down to talk about the real impact of connecting these two essential parts of the guest journey.

If you didn’t get a chance to tune in live, we’ve got you covered. Here are the big takeaways you don’t want to miss.

Personalization Doesn’t Have to Be 1:1 to Be Powerful

Josh Schoonmaker, VP of Product at PAR, kicked things off by breaking down a smarter way to think about personalization: it doesn’t have to mean crafting a totally unique message for every single guest. Instead, Josh shared a “pyramid” approach:

Rather than jumping straight to full individualization, brands can achieve high impact by delivering relevant offers and experiences to well-defined customer segments. “Even knowing a guest always orders the same dish is a chance to celebrate them,” said Bounteous’ Cole Baker. “It doesn’t have to be complicated—it just has to feel personal.”

Payments Are a Key to Seamless (and Secure) Personalization

According to Jose Barrios, Senior Director of Product at PAR Pay, payments are more than just a checkout step. When connected to loyalty and guest data, they become a powerful engine for:

This intersection is where platforms like Apple Tap to Pay + Loyalty shine. In fact, Salsarita’s saw a 70% increase in loyalty sign-ups after implementing Apple’s one-tap solution.

Loyalty Is Moving From Points to Personal Touches

Today’s best loyalty programs go beyond “earn and burn.” Instead, brands are tapping into challenges, streaks, and behavior-based rewards to make the experience more fun, personal, and sticky.

Think Duolingo-style streaks, LTO exploration badges, or flavor-based perks. Whether it’s celebrating a guest who always orders the same thing or encouraging a new visit during a slow daypart, it’s all about making customers feel seen.

As Cole Baker from Bounteous put it: “We don’t always need a huge discount. We just want to feel like the brand knows us, and appreciates us.”

You Don’t Need an App to Build Loyalty

App fatigue is real—and younger generations are especially over it. But that doesn’t mean you’re out of luck when it comes to guest engagement.

By leveraging digital wallets (like Apple or Google Wallet) and tokenized payments, brands can identify and reward guests even without a formal app download or loyalty signup. These “shadow profiles” let you build relationships with returning guests and eventually invite them to join your program when the time is right.

As Josh put it: “Loyalty isn’t defined by whether someone signed up for your program. You can have loyal guests who just haven’t opted in—yet.”

Identity Stitching Is Critical for Unified Guest Profiles

One challenge restaurants often overlook? Disconnected data. If a customer uses a phone number in-store but an email online, brands can struggle to create a complete profile.

Schoonmaker emphasized the importance of identity stitching—combining various guest identifiers across channels—to power more effective personalization, prevent fraud, and streamline operations. Payments offer a reliable thread to tie it all together.

Measure What Matters: Loyalty That Proves Incrementality

Without good data, it’s hard to prove ROI. But with tokenized payments and integrated loyalty platforms, marketers can track:

This empowers loyalty teams to show results—and justify bigger investments in personalization and tech.

Match Rewards to Brand Experience

Not every loyalty program needs to look the same—and it shouldn’t. For fine-dining or high-touch brands, loyalty might mean special access, personalized service, or exclusive perks rather than discounts.

Especially in premium dining, not every loyalty program should rely on discounts. For white-tablecloth restaurants, Cole and Josh suggested offering:

“It’s not about $5 off,” said Schoonmaker. “It’s about excellence, access, and being known.”

Final Thought: Loyalty isn’t just about points, it’s about connection.

And payments? They’re the one thing every guest does, every time. Together, they can create smarter, more meaningful experiences that keep guests coming back, whether they’re in your app, at your kiosk, or tapping their phone at the counter.

From Chaos to Clarity: Transforming Restaurant Operations with AI

PAR Team — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 18:49:28 +0000

Effectively managing food and labor costs remains one of the most pressing challenges for restaurant operators today. Recent findings from the National Restaurant Association’s 2024 State of the Restaurant Industry Report highlight just how critical these issues are:

A staggering 98% of operators identify rising labor costs as a major threat to their business success, while 97% point to soaring food costs as a key barrier to profitability.

Given the significant strain these challenges place on restaurant operations, many operators are increasingly turning to innovative back-office solutions to drive profitability and improve their bottom line. Artificial intelligence is playing a growing role in this shift, streamlining complex tasks like inventory and labor management.

A key development in this space is the first live integration between a spatial AI inventory management system and a back-office provider – PAR OPS and NomadGo – a robust, end-to-end solution that automates critical back-office functions like inventory management.

Our recent webinar, From Chaos to Clarity: Transforming Restaurant Operations with AI, highlights this emerging technological trend and how restaurant operators are using AI to tackle rising food costs. Featuring Russ Jones, Chief Information Officer at Amirian Management Company, Kevin Rood, Vice President of Product at PAR OPS, and Jonah Friedl, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at NomadGo, the session dives into how AI-powered back-office solutions are transforming restaurant operations and driving efficiency. Amirian Management Company has already adopted this solution, leveraging the seamless data flow between the two platforms to cut inventory counting time in half, enhance operational insights, and allow managers to focus more on customer-facing tasks.

Here’s what our experts shared about how these AI solutions are reshaping the future of restaurant management:

Rising food and labor costs are forcing restaurant operators to rethink how they manage their back-office operations. Traditional approaches to labor scheduling, inventory tracking, and cost control are no longer sustainable in an industry where margins are razor-thin and operational complexity continues to grow. AI-powered solutions like PAR OPS and NomadGo are stepping in, providing restaurant teams with real-time data and automation tools to make informed decisions.

As Russ Jones put it, “At the end of the day, restaurant operators are running highly complex production and fulfillment centers. You must balance food prep, labor, ordering, and multiple revenue streams – all while ensuring consistency. AI allows us to be more efficient and accurate in that process.” By eliminating guesswork and automating routine tasks, AI solutions allow restaurants to save time on administrative work and refocus on guest experiences and profitability.

Building on this shift, Kevin Rood emphasized the growing reliance on data-driven decision-making: “We’re moving away from gut-feel decisions and manual data entry. AI allows operators to be proactive, to spot trends before they become problems, and to act on real-time insights rather than historical data.”

Inventory management is another critical area where AI is making a significant impact. Traditional methods are not only time-consuming but also prone to human error. With AI-driven tools like the PAR OPS and NomadGo integration, inventory management is streamlined, more accurate, and less labor-intensive.

Before adopting these solutions, Amirian Management Company spent hours each week manually counting inventory and verifying stock levels. “With AI tools like NomadGo and PAR OPS, we’ve cut that time in half while also improving accuracy,” said Russ Jones. The efficiency gained through these tools not only saves valuable time but also reduces the risk of costly mistakes.

This integration has empowered Amirian Management Company store managers to use tablets or mobile devices to complete inventory counts, eliminating the need for paper-based tracking and manual data entry. The process is more efficient and reduces errors, as real-time updates are automatically synced with the system. Automated alerts also notify managers when stock is running low, enabling them to place orders ahead of time, rather than waiting for stockouts to occur. This foresight helps prevent stockouts and over-ordering, leading to better control over inventory levels and ultimately, healthier profit margins.

As AI continues to evolve, restaurant operators can expect even more advanced capabilities in forecasting, automation, and customer engagement:

AI-driven forecasting will help restaurants better predict demand, allowing for smarter labor and inventory management. With this functionality available in PAR OPS this year, brands can leverage real-time data to optimize staffing, reduce waste, and improve performance.
Chatbots and automation tools are also on the rise, streamlining everyday tasks. These systems can handle customer inquiries, reservations, and even process orders, freeing up staff for more critical tasks. As these tools advance, they will take on more responsibilities, making operations even smoother.
Smart menus and dynamic pricing are set to revolutionize how restaurants maximize profitability. Powered by AI, these innovations refine menu layouts and pricing strategies by analyzing sales data, market trends, and customer behavior. Soon, AI will enable real-time dynamic pricing, adjusting menu prices instantly based on competition, demand, and customer preferences, optimizing profitability in every transaction.

As AI continues to evolve, the possibilities for restaurant operations seem limitless. By embracing AI-driven solutions, restaurants can not only streamline their day-to-day processes but also position themselves to outperform competitors. With each new development, the gap between traditional methods and AI-powered efficiency widens, enabling operators to shift their focus from time-consuming administrative tasks to elevating guest experiences and driving overall business success.

4 Key Themes and Trends from MURTEC 2025

PAR Team — Wed, 02 Apr 2025 10:44:44 +0000

The restaurant industry is undergoing a major transformation, and MURTEC 2025 gave us a front-row seat to the future. Restaurant operators are currently facing numerous challenges, from labor shortages to rising costs, and technology is stepping in to reshape operations and overcome these obstacles.

At the conference, we heard firsthand how industry leaders are tackling these challenges. From automation and personalization to workforce solutions and omnichannel strategies, one thing was clear: innovation is fueling long-term success.

Across panels, keynotes, and one-on-one conversations, a few key themes emerged, each highlighting the shifting priorities of modern restaurants and the strategies they’re using to stay ahead. Now, the question is: Are you ready to leverage these breakthroughs and redefine what’s possible for your business?

Here’s What We Learned:

The Growing Importance of Automation in Restaurant Operations

One clear takeaway from MURTEC 2025 was that automation is reshaping restaurant operations, especially in the back office, where efficiency and precision are paramount. Operators are increasingly turning to restaurant operations management solutions, like PAR OPS, to offload the time-consuming administrative tasks that traditionally bog down their teams.

Automated reporting and inventory management are two key areas where brands are saving significant amounts of time and reducing costs. By eliminating paper-based processes and manual data entry, automation minimizes human error, streamlines workflows, and frees up staff to focus on more strategic, growth-driven activities.

Conversations at MURTEC also highlighted the role of AI in taking inventory management to the next level. In fact, recent reports indicate that 65% of restaurant operators report an increase in margins and profitability from leveraging AI.

Integrations like NomadGo with PAR OPS are using computer vision technology to provide real-time inventory data, improving stock accuracy and reducing waste. This not only ensures the right ingredients are on hand but also prevents overstocking, making the entire ordering process more efficient. As these technologies continue to evolve, it’s clear that restaurant brands embracing automation will be better positioned to reduce inefficiencies and prioritize delivering exceptional guest experiences.

Personalization is the Key to Loyalty

Personalization has become the cornerstone of customer loyalty in the restaurant industry. A crucial understanding at this year’s conference was that today’s diners expect experiences that reflect their individual preferences and habits. The era of one-size-fits-all loyalty programs is over – restaurants are now leveraging data to create hyper-personalized interactions that go beyond offering generic discounts, delivering true value that resonates with customers.

Loyalty programs that aren’t integrated with payments are quickly becoming outdated. The most successful programs today, like PAR Punchh, seamlessly connect ordering, loyalty, and payment experiences. By tapping into customer data, restaurants can create tailored rewards and promotions, transforming ordinary interactions into more meaningful experiences. This level of personalization not only strengthens customer loyalty but also fosters deeper connections.

Omnichannel Strategies Are a Must

It was evident that today’s diners not only expect hyper-personalized experiences but also a frictionless experience, no matter how they interact with a restaurant, whether in-store, through a mobile app, at the drive-thru, or on third-party platforms. As a result, creating a consistent experience across every channel has become essential for restaurant brands looking to stay competitive.

What stood out at the conference was how restaurants that are successfully embracing omnichannel strategies are not only meeting customer expectations but enhancing operational efficiency. By seamlessly connecting digital platforms with in-store experiences, these brands ensure that customers can engage with them on their terms, with the same level of service and convenience, no matter the touchpoint. This approach is not only driving repeat visits but also fostering stronger customer loyalty and satisfaction.

Investing in Employee Technology Pays Off

Our final key takeaway from MURTEC 2025 was the undeniable link between investing in employee technology and driving operational success. As workforce challenges continue to weigh on restaurant operators, it’s clear that technology is playing a crucial role in supporting employees and enhancing their performance.

Taking care of your employees means setting them and your business up for success. Restaurants are increasingly leveraging technology for labor scheduling and forecasting to streamline workforce management and reduce unnecessary stress. With tools like PAR OPS, operators can more accurately predict labor needs and automate scheduling, ensuring employees aren’t stretched too thin during peak times. This not only boosts efficiency but also helps reduce employee burnout by maintaining balanced workloads.

An employee-first mentality leads to happier guests. When team members feel valued and equipped with the right tools, it shows in their performance and guest interactions. Investing in employee-focused technology builds stronger, more engaged teams – ultimately driving better experiences and lasting loyalty.

MURTEC 2025 underscored that embracing technology to address real operational challenges is key to long-term success. By investing in automation, personalization, and workforce solutions, restaurants can drive growth, meet changing customer expectations, and consistently deliver outstanding experiences.

The Lunch Break Dash: Why a Fast and Accurate Drive-Thru is a Must for Your Business

PAR Team — Tue, 18 Feb 2025 21:39:26 +0000

The modern lunch break isn’t what it used to be.

Gone are the days of leisurely midday meals or long sit-down lunches with coworkers. For many professionals, especially those working from home, the lunch break has become a race against the clock.

Meetings are stacked back to back. Calendar invites pop up without warning. By the time you carve out 30 minutes to grab something to eat, you’re already behind schedule.

The drive-thru has become the only option for a quick bite to eat during the workday, a lifeline for squeezing in a meal between video calls and deadlines. But when you’re pressed for time, speed and accuracy aren’t just nice to have. They’re essential.

A slow, inefficient drive-thru can turn a short break into a stressful experience of long lines, garbled communication, incorrect orders. By the time you finally get your food, you’re rushing back home or to the office, frustrated and already thinking about your next meeting or you’re forced to be on camera while shoving food in your mouth because it’s the first time you got to eat today. We’ve all been there.

For restaurant operators, this shift in dining habits is an opportunity. The drive-thru isn’t just a convenience anymore, it’s an expectation. Customers don’t just want speed. They demand it and really rely on their go-to drive-thru to help get them fed and back in the office on time.

The True Cost of a Slow Drive-Thru

Every extra second a customer waits in line is a missed opportunity for your restaurant. The longer they wait, the more likely they are to reconsider their choice. Whether it’s choosing a competitor or skipping lunch altogether.

Here’s what a slow or inefficient drive-thru is really costing you:

Lost Sales
A long line at your drive-thru may look like a sign of success, but for many customers, it’s a deterrent. A guest in a hurry won’t hesitate to pull into another restaurant’s lot if they think they’ll get their food faster.
Higher Labor Costs
Every misheard order leads to mistakes. Incorrect meals mean more time spent remaking food, issuing refunds, and frustrating both employees and customers. The inefficiencies pile up quickly.
Damaged Reputation
A guest who experiences slow service or a botched order isn’t just annoyed, they remember. They may not give your restaurant a second chance, and worse, they might share their frustration with friends, family, or online reviews.

When customers are on a tight schedule, they don’t just want efficiency. They expect it.

How PAR Clear Improves Drive-Thru Performance

Every second matters in the drive-thru. PAR Clear ensures every order is heard the first time, reducing errors, speeding up service, and keeping lines moving.

When your team can communicate clearly and efficiently, they can serve more guests in less time.

Drive-Thru Speed is a Competitive Advantage

Customers don’t have time to wait. They want a quick, reliable experience every time they visit your restaurant.

Fast, accurate service means:

More cars through the lane during peak hours

Higher order accuracy, reducing waste and rework

Stronger customer satisfaction and repeat visits

Increased sales and profitability

Your drive-thru is your biggest revenue driver. Don’t let slow, outdated equipment hold you back.

Upgrade to PAR Clear and Keep Your Drive-Thru Moving

A frustrating drive-thru experience doesn’t just lose one customer. It risks losing them for good.
