Have you ever wondered why customers often leave your restaurant with more than they planned to order?  That's the power of impulse buying, a psychological phenomenon that can be harnessed to significantly boost your restaurant's profits.  Combining this understanding with cutting-edge point of purchase handheld technology, you can create a seamless, efficient, and highly profitable dining experience.


Understanding the Psychology of Impulse Buying


Impulse buying isn't random; it's a result of several psychological triggers that occur right at the point of purchase:


  • Visibility: The more easily customers see an item, the more likely they are to consider it. Handheld devices put menu options directly in front of them, increasing visibility and promoting spontaneous additions to their order.

  • Instant Gratification: With handheld ordering, customers can immediately add that tempting dessert or extra appetizer with a simple tap. No more waiting for a server to return, which could lead to second thoughts.

  • Suggestive Selling: Handheld systems can be programmed to recommend complementary items based on a customer's current order, further encouraging impulse purchases.
