Imagine this: you’ve just been handed a $100,000 budget strictly for digitizing your restaurant. Where should you put that money to maximize return, efficiency, and guest experience?
This was the question we posed in a recent LinkedIn poll — and the answers reflected some of the biggest priorities (and pain points) operators are facing today.
Let’s break it down.
2. POS & Ordering System Upgrades
Outdated POS systems slow down service and frustrate both staff and customers. An investment here can streamline transactions, speed up order processing, and enable seamless integration with other tools like online ordering, loyalty programs, and delivery apps (Toast, 2023).
3. Guest-Facing Tech: Mobile Apps & Kiosks
Self-service is no longer a novelty — it’s an expectation. Kiosks and mobile apps reduce pressure on staff during peak times, improve order accuracy, and boost average ticket size through upsell prompts (Deloitte Digital, 2023).
4. Custom Integrations & Operational Dashboards
Here’s where many operators are starting to think bigger: custom solutions tailored to their exact workflows. Whether it’s connecting disparate systems or building dashboards to monitor performance in real time, this kind of investment can unify tech stacks and surface the insights that really drive growth (McKinsey & Company, 2022)
Every restaurant is different — from franchise giants to single-location QSRs. What matters most is that your digital investments align with your operational goals.
At ResultStack, we help restaurants map those goals to the tech that will actually move the needle. Sometimes that means integrating existing tools. Other times, it means building something entirely custom.
