# 3: The process for signing up a new postpaid/contract account was too complex

If the customer wanted to buy a handset and sign up for postpaid/contract – a very valuable customer – the customer would need to deal with 2 agents and

go through 2 sign-up processes.

# 4: Customers frequently had to stand in long queues and wait for service

The more successful we became,

the more our customer experience

dropped.

What was wrong with the Dinning experience?

What is wrong?

30

# 1: Stale data on Menus

Menus are outdated the minute they are printed. No rich data to view. Dimly lit ambiance in many high end restaurants.

What is wrong?

# 2: Too much data entry repetition Waiter first manually writes down order, then walks away and enters it again into a

shared POS Terminal. Can forget details or introduce errors along the way.

Order is

entered into

Terminal

Manual order

written up.

Food order

is sent to

kitchen

Drink order

is sent to

the

bartender

31

What is wrong?

32

# 2: Waiter has to make too many trips to POS Terminal If the customer wants to order another item the waiter has to make an

additional trip between the customer’s table and the terminal.

Waiters have to

wait / fight for

access to

Terminal

Waiter brings

food

Waiter returns

to terminal

What is wrong?

33

# 3: The process for printing new menus is expensive

If the restaurant wants to create a new menu it is time consuming and costly.

What is wrong?

34

# 4: Customers frequently have to stand in long queues and wait to for an available table and then wait for service

The better the restaurant, the greater the demand to get in. The worse the situation is for the customer. Faster customer service and turn around is essential!

What is wrong?

35

In Short: EVERYTHING!

Outdated systems and processes

Dining experience has basically not changed in over 100 years!

The Goal

36

Waiters spend more time with customers

Waiters carry small POS terminal with them
