The QSR challenge
Speed matters and your queue is costing you
- 1 in 5 customers will leave if the wait is longer than 3 minutes
- Slow service reduces order volume, satisfaction and revenue
- For QSRs that rely on volume, speed is non-negotiable
Proven impact of self-service kiosks in QSRs
- McDonald’s reported 20% higher ticket value through kiosks
- Wendy’s saw a 15% increase in upsell acceptance during early pilots
- QSRs using kiosks cut queue times by up to 50% during peak hours
