*Fastor is the future of contactless self-checkout at food places*
Gone are the days when going out for a casual dinner or a romantic date was just another day. Meeting and greeting our friends and family has become a distant thought now because social distancing is the new normal.
With digitalization taking over the market with a storm, the hospitality industry is welcoming it with open arms, and one such pro service available in the market is FASTOR.
Envisioned in late 2018, Fastor’s Beta version was launched on 16th October 2019. By January 2020, it was rolled out at multiple high footfall locations and in its first month of the launch had touched over 5000 orders.
The first-ever AI-Enabled Contactless Self-Checkout platform, Fastor is helping restaurants & other food places execute their regular operations with zero contact and 100% safety. This offline to online technology is designed in such a way that customers wouldn’t need a physical menu card, they can simply use their unique QR code placed on the table to automatically be directed to the menu without even downloading any app, and place their order digitally. The interface of the service is user friendly, and the customer can see the entire menu digitally, place the order, and self check-out by paying through the app itself.
Karan Sood, the co-founder mentions, “Fastor came into being much before social distancing became the new normal. Just like our name suggests, the goal of Fastor is to enable a queue free and fast takeaway and dine-in experience for users. By cutting down on the time taken for listing down the order, placing it in the kitchen, making the bill and collecting the cash/card, Fastor is not only encouraging a more transparent, but also a very efficient and time-saving dining experience for the guests.”
Adding to which, Anmol Wadhwani said, “ Though this is a new user experience for guests at a food place Fastor has always focused on getting innovative solutions for its business partners. Businesses get an intensive suite of features where they can manage their multi-locations via the headquarter terminal. Also, they get insights that provide them detailed reports & analysis that can further aid them in increasing their sales. Plus, the restaurants can come up with live dynamic deals inside their food place to attract customers through the business app itself.”
An all-in-one solution, Fastor, not only provides the user with a digital menu for the food place but also lets them pay for their order through its wallet and UPI. All you need to do is SCAN – the QR from the menu, ORDER – your choice of food, and PAY- your bill, all at the same place.
The technology basically creates a win-win situation for both the restaurant and the customer, as not only is it providing a safe dashboard for conducting the operations, it is also encouraging an increase in the footfall, lowering the labor cost, increasing the profits and boosting the confidence of the customer to go out and socialize, without worrying about unwanted physical contact.
Rajeev, one of the advisors & mentors said, “With FASTOR we aim to build a positive atmosphere, through which social distancing is not looked upon as an obstruction, rather an opportunity for the world to move towards technological advancement and make way for a faster and safer experience.”
The fact that FASTOR was launched in the market much before the pandemic, surely gives it an edge over its competitors who are relatively new in the market.
