What conveniences can RFID smart restaurants bring?

With the advancement of science and technology, more and more smart restaurants adopting the fast settlement system of self-selected restaurants have come into the public eye. This is a set of catering settlement system integrated with RFID radio frequency technology. It mainly provides self-selected quick settlement services for school canteens, restaurants of enterprises and institutions, and fast food chain stores. Fast settlement is achieved by implanting RFID radio frequency chips at the bottom of the dinner plate. Compared with the traditional settlement method, the smart disk has the characteristics of fast speed, accurate calculation, good experience, and unattended.
 
Different from the common window mode, the self-selected restaurant adopts a portion-based pricing model, that is, the staff prepares the dishes by portion and puts them on the preparation table. The customers choose the dishes they need according to their needs and check them at the cashier. The entire bill is settled at one time. Compared with the window mode, the self-selection mode has greater freedom of choice, does not require multiple billing and pricing, and saves time. It is especially suitable for dining venues with large traffic customers.

 
RFID smart restaurant solution
Technical Principle
The smart restaurant solution is also a collection of a series of efficiency tools used in the catering service industry, including various software and hardware; it can be applied to various links such as production, reservation, recharge, settlement, and meal retrieval.
• Based on the core technology of the Internet of Things: ISO-15693 protocol, ISO-14443 protocol, ZigBee (Zigbee protocol), barcode;
• Based on electronic payment technology;
• Based on cloud technology;
• Based on management information technology (MIS);
Features: self-service, fast speed, accurate accounting, good experience
 
Using a unique process, RFID radio frequency chips are implanted inside the dinner plates, so that each plate has a "smart core". Not only that, the melamine material also makes them resistant to high temperature, cleaning, and collision.
 
A small radio frequency chip is embedded in ordinary tableware, giving this tableware a simple intelligence, which is the RFID tag dinner plate. When in use, each RFID tag is repeatedly sending out such electromagnetic signals: "Who am I and where do I come from?" Through this small chip, we integrate catering services (front hall and back kitchen) and selection of dishes. The integration of consumption and fast payment methods not only effectively save labor and materials, but also materialize and digitize the entire catering service chain to better serve operators and consumers.
   
Consumer experience
1. Put the tray on the settlement area and check the information;
2. Swipe the dining card in the card swiping area to complete the settlement;
 
Traditional window mode
Choosing dishes: queue up at multiple windows to choose dishes, and the waiter will order the dishes;
Settlement: After the dishes are selected in the selection window, the window waiter will swipe the card to settle the settlement, and multiple settlements are required;
Disadvantages: queuing for many times, troublesome and time-consuming; increase the workload of the waiter; little freedom of choice.
 
Traditional self-selection mode
Choice of dishes: The dishes are ordered by the waiter and placed in the corresponding self-selection area. Customers can choose the dishes freely according to their own preferences and needs;
Settlement: After all the items are selected, they will be gathered at the cashier counter and the cashier will calculate the total price of the whole order one by one according to the different tableware.
Insufficiency: slow checkout speed, long waiting time for customers; easy to miscalculate accounts and cause disputes.
 
RFID smart restaurant optional mode
Choice of dishes: consistent with the self-selection mode;
Settlement: Put the tray in the settlement area, that is, the system will automatically calculate the total price, swipe the card and complete the payment;
Insufficiency: Need to use special tableware.
 
RFID tableware can be automatically identified and has the following advantages:
Automated settlement, customer self-service, save labor; rapid batch identification, improve settlement efficiency; settlement error-free, avoiding operating losses.
Single product management: sales can be counted, and management is more transparent
Sales forecast: accurately guide purchases based on dish planning, 1,000 yuan sales volume and historical data
Reducing waste: pricing by portion, charging by volume, fair consumption, reducing waste
Nutritional analysis: reasonable dietary structure, caring for the health of employees
For companies: enhance corporate image, improve employee welfare, shorten dining time, and improve work efficiency
For consumers: enhance the dining experience, delight the soul and save time
For catering service providers: reduce operating costs, enhance service brands, increase customer stickiness, and increase restaurant appeal.
