How important should contactless service be for your restaurant?
Even after the COVID-19 crisis, nearly 40%[1] of customers still plan to use contactless services since they are one of the most convenient ways to shop. As a result, quick-service-restaurants (QSRs) are adapting at an accelerated pace to combine safety and ease in today’s food service. To meet new demands for seamless touch-free dining, QSRs have been encouraged to implement:
- Self-service kiosks – By empowering customers to build and pay for their own orders, self-service kiosks can also diminish wait times while freeing up team members to focus on other tasks.
- Efficient curbside pickup – Six out of ten[2] patrons plan on continuing to use curbside pickup even after restaurants re-open for dine-in. This means teams must be able to communicate seamlessly amongst each other and with the customer to ensure food quality fits within the customer’s schedule.
- Accelerated drive-thru lanes – 42%[3] of customers view drive-thrus as more sanitary than alternative pickup options, yet longer lines often push patrons away. Consequently, QSRs are investing in faster connectivity and data processing to speed up drive thru lanes for a better customer experience.
See how Barcodes, Inc. maximizes these and more in our video:

Why Maximize Visibility in your Work-In-Progress Inventory?
When creating lean operations, manufacturing plants often struggle with managing, incoming materials for future orders, known as work-in-progress (WIP) inventory. If left unchecked, unidentified WIP inventory can increase operational costs by at least 20%[1] while ultimately leading to:
- Increased labor and downtime costs
- Dwindling storage space
- Difficulty tracking assembled orders
- Missed opportunities as decision must be based on available space instead of demand
Better identification equals better visibility
To ascertain material identification for WIP inventory, Barcodes, Inc. recommends modernizing your labeling system. Industrial printers such as Zebra’s ZT610 ensure barcode legibility for both barcode labels and RFID tags, so your team can accurately identify materials as they move throughout the production floor.
By accelerating printing speeds, industrial printers empower teams to quickly tag incoming materials, securing proper storage in the correct location before materials leave the receiving dock. Furthermore, high-resolution barcodes facilitate more successful first-time scans, simplifying your inventory management process as materials move down the supply chain.
However, while industrial printers offer a good place to start enhancing operations, there are many more ways to continue eliminating inefficiency. As a Zebra Premier Business Partner, Barcodes, Inc. works closely alongside your team to design, deploy and support enterprise-grade hardware into your operations. Contact us today to see how you can pair printers like the ZT610 to scanners, mobile computers, and consumables to expand inventory visibility.
