 Whether your city is at stage one, stage two of the opening, you need to pay attention in this video because we are talking about diner safety. According to Yao, one of the biggest concerns that customers have whether they want to go and dine in or not is diner safety. What does that mean? They're worried about contracting the disease through menu touching. They're worried about the safety protocols that the restaurants are practicing and they're worried about how close they are with their customers. And that's the reason why we're shooting this video for you today is how we can safely reopen your restaurant and to give the faith and to give the confidence for your customers to come in utilizing technology like QR codes. Hello friends, my name is Wilson. Thank you so much for watching this video. I just want to give a major shout out to these two individuals for showing us love, support and simply engaging with us. If you want to get featured, make sure you guys comment in the description below so then that way we can have a chance to feature you and to create this positive community. Now without further ado, let's dive right in. If you guys haven't already checked out, check out this video right here where we talk about utilizing QR codes for marketing safely and effectively. And because there's so much demand and positive notes about this video, we decided to do another video about QR codes and how you can open up your restaurant safely utilizing this technology. And this is all thanks to Q-Restaurant. Definitely check them out in the link below. First and foremost, if you don't know what QR codes is, it is basically a set of two-dimensional barcodes standing for Quick Response Barcode. And what you do is you get a phone and you scan it. Once you scan it, it automatically brings you to any website or any link that you would want to direct them to, whether it be leaving you a review or having a menu pop up, you can all have that capability through a QR code. And the reason why I love using QR codes is the fact that it is effective, it is simple to use, and it is very cost-effective. Unlike a lot of technology out there that is very complicated and has a steep learning curve, QR codes are easy to use. So that's the reason why you should check it out. And a secret that I really want to share with you right now that is super effective is that customers buy from perception. What do I mean by that? Yes, they buy from how you're able to show up on social media, on your website, on review sites. More importantly, they feel much more confident when they come into your restaurant and they see that you do all the best practices. For example, are all your staff wearing masks? Are they wearing shields? Do they have gloves on? Do you have dividers? And do you have a contactless menu? All these things build up a great perception. And if it checks off all the different checklists within your customers' minds, then they will feel much more confident in coming to dine at your restaurant. And that's the reason why we first off start with the number one thing, digitalizing your menu. Menu is one of the highest touch points in the restaurant. And that's the reason why it is also the most dangerous. When your customers come in, they touch the menu and they put it down for hours while people are dining. And then the next group comes in. And that's very scary for the typical patron. And that's the reason why you would want to be able to digitalize your menu. So then that way you have a QR code stuck on the table or having it on a 10 card. So then when people come in, all they have to do is take out their phone, scan the QR code and automatically the menu shows up on their phone. That way you can minimize the touch points and you give your customers a sense of confidence that, hey, you know what? I'm only touching my phone. It is a safe place to do so. And just when you think that this is like some kind of crazy technology, well, I can assure you that it is not because more than 52% of restaurants across America is already utilizing the QR codes. So if you're not already using it, then you're definitely falling behind. Now, yes, you're going to ask Wilson, is it very complicated to implement? Not at all. All you need to do is to have a PDF version of your menu online and upload it into companies like Q restaurants. And Q restaurant has a platform to help you generate the QR codes, which you just simply need to print and stick it onto your table and you're good to go. And that's the reason why I love Q restaurants because they make the whole process super simple to use. Just when you think that, Wilson, why are you so basic? How simple is it to just show up a menu? Well, with QR codes, they can actually allow you to have a dynamic function, which is super effective and cost saving. What do you mean by that, Wilson? Imagine just imagine for a second that someone comes in during brunch time, they scan your menu, your brunch menu shows up. Great. Now, another group of people come in during lunchtime. They scan the same QR code and you know what shows up? The lunch menu without changing the QR code. How amazing is that? Now, another group of people come in during dinner time, they scan the same QR code and guess what? The dinner menu shows up. This is why I love QR codes because not only is it easy to use, but it also saves you money from printing multiple versions of your menu. And on top of that, if you have any special menus or if you change your menu on a daily basis, you're able to do that in the back end through Q restaurants, and that's why I really like it. As we talked about that perception is everything. The second point that you can safely reopen your restaurant to give the confidence back to your customers to come in to dine again, is to utilize QR codes to show them a virtual tour. What do you mean by that, Wilson? Once again, you can actually when people come in, you can have a sign that says, check out our best practices. And on the sign is a QR code. People scan the QR code and automatically it shows them a video of the best practices that people use in the front of the house and back at the house. You can show how the chef prepares the food and how the food is being handled. And you can show how your front of the house staff is trained to utilize the best practices. And by you doing that, it might be something that's like, oh, why am I doing things out of the way? It is because of perception. When people see that you're taking proper protocols, stuff that they are not able to see when they walk in. You're talking about showing them behind the scenes. You're taking the curtain down and showing them what is happening behind the house. It gives them an extra boost of confidence that, hey, you know what? This restaurant takes safety to the next level because I see it because I know what they're doing and that itself allows that customers to gain confidence to come back again and again. Now you might be thinking, hey, does it mean it takes a lot to set up and what do I even do? You can simply take out your phone, go and record what your chef is doing, explain to them, hey, we're just recording the best practices. What are you doing to make sure you minimize the transaction of the COVID-19? After you record the video, upload it on YouTube and that link itself, you can just attach that link to the QR code in the back end of Q restaurants and voila, that's all it takes. Super simple to implement and super effective. In addition to showcasing this QR code when people walk in, you can also display this QR code on your social media and your website. And what does that do? For people that are considering whether they want to come in to dine at your restaurant or not, when they go on your social media and then they click on the QR code and it brings them to a link of what and how your back at the house is performing and what is it that they're doing? It automatically gives them once again the confidence. They see that you're hygienic. They see that you're practicing this. And thus they're much more likely to come in and dine at your restaurant. The third way to reopen your restaurant safely and to give that confidence back to your customers is to utilize QR codes for contact tracing. What is contact tracing? Contact tracing is a mandate coming down from the government saying that everyone that dines into your restaurant needs to put down their name and number. Just in the case that someone is infected and you can now tell other people within the same time, within the same date that, hey, someone is infected, most likely you should start quarantining yourself. And that's what every restaurant out there needs to do. Now, for me, I feel anxiety when I go into a restaurant to dine in and I have to write down my name and number on the same piece of paper that everyone else is writing on, that gives me tremendous amount of anxiety, which is a reason why if you're able to utilize QR codes for this section, it would highly encourage your customers to give you that boost of confidence. How does that work? Well, when customers come into your restaurant, all you have to do is just tell them, hey, you know what, scan this QR code. I scan it and automatically a Google form pops up on my phone. And all I have to do is just fill in my name, my number, how many people I'm with, and automatically I submit that to the form. And after that is submitted, I'm good to go. This gives me a sense of ease because, wow, I'm not touching this paper that everyone else is touching. I'm not touching that pen. And that is able to convince your customers that you're following all the best practices within the environment. Another advantage of utilizing QR codes for contact tracing is the effect of an efficiency. And what I mean by that is when the government comes down and if fingers crossed, someone does get infected. And if they're going to have to dig through all your paper just to find that person, and it's your job to make sure that you contact everyone, it is super simple because you have everything on an Excel, something that is digitalized so you can actually vet everyone through and allows you to save a lot of time and labor in digging through all your data. And that's why you should definitely consider using QR codes for your contact tracing form. Perception is everything. Confidence to come and dine in at your restaurant is priority. And at a all time high. And that's the reason why if you're thinking about reopening your restaurant or if you just think about leveling up your restaurant, definitely consider using QR codes to achieve this effect.
