Sam Mustafa: Advancing Technology Can Alter the Restaurant Industry
Ziosk Recently Introduced a Series of Devices and Mobile App Solutions to Restaurants Across the Country in Order to Make the Dining Experience Swifter and More Direct for the Consumer; Sam Mustafa of the Charleston Hospitality Group Discusses This Technology and Its Possible Impact
(firmenpresse) - CHARLESTON, SC -- (Marketwire) -- 10/22/12 -- Although there is an endless amount of restaurants throughout the world, most of them operate through the same process that many Americans have come to expect: be seated, place an order and pay while a server acts as a conduit between the customer and the kitchen. However, a recent from Forbes reveals that this process could be changing, as mobile solutions developed by Ziosk are making their way into restaurants throughout the United States. The article notes that Ziosk devices have already gained considerable popularity throughout the United Kingdom, allowing restaurant-goers to easily pay for their order all through a convenient device supplied by the restaurant. While the device has given customers an easier way to speed up the dining experience, hospitality guru Sam Mustafa notes that this technology, if not used wisely could hurt the personal touch that waiters often provide to diners.
While Ziosk created a strong interface through specialized devices, the article reveals that the company has taken a step forward by allowing users to access the Ziosk platform from anywhere via mobile devices. Throughout the years, has noticed a change in the role technology plays in hospitality-oriented businesses, from hotels to five-star restaurants. He explains, "Development in Internet and technology are dramatically changing the scope and nature of the hospitality industry as a whole. When evaluating new technologies, the Charleston Hospitality Group looks for ways to boost efficiency, improve cost control and enhance our customers' experience."
However, Sam Mustafa cautions that the new Ziosk technology could actually serve as a detriment to the ways customers enhance their experience through such resources. Sam Mustafa comments, "My concern of the Ziosk device is the impersonal nature it could generate. Waiters, concierges and tourism professionals are known for delivering personal service with a passion. This new device might fly in the face of that reputation."
Sam Mustafa also voices concerns about the way Ziosk applications could affect the industry in terms of employment, considering how a reduced need for servers could equate to less people working in the restaurant industry. Although he notes that Ziosk could offer some promise, Mustafa concludes by suggesting that those in the hospitality field should work with technology professionals to find a balanced solution. Through such a development, tourists and diners could still enjoy the convenient benefits of technology without having to sacrifice the personal quality associated with dining and entertainment.
