How to Increase Your Restaurant Revenue
Growing revenue does not always mean more customers. Discover proven strategies to increase average order value, improve table turnover, and maximize every guest interaction — powered by smart restaurant technology.
Key Benefits
Boost average order value
Digital menus with professional photos and smart add-on suggestions consistently increase average orders by 15-25%. Guests browse the full menu visually and are far more likely to add extras, sides, desserts, and premium drinks they would never have asked a waiter about. The psychology is simple: seeing a beautifully photographed tiramisu at checkout is more persuasive than a verbal suggestion from a busy waiter. Restaurants using FoxiFood's visual menu builder report that items with photos sell 2-3 times more than those without, making menu photography one of the highest-ROI investments you can make.
Faster table turnover
QR ordering eliminates the 10-15 minute gap between seating and ordering that exists in traditional service. Guests start browsing the menu immediately upon sitting down, often placing their order before a waiter would have even approached the table. For a 50-seat restaurant doing two dinner seatings, reducing each table cycle by just 12 minutes can add an entire third seating on busy nights. That is potentially 30-50% more dinner revenue on Fridays and Saturdays without adding a single chair. Payment processing at the table further accelerates turnover by eliminating the wait-for-the-bill ritual.
Reduce lost revenue
During peak hours, traditional restaurants lose an estimated 10-15% of potential orders simply because overworked staff cannot get to every table fast enough. Guests who wait too long to order drinks may skip them entirely. Groups ready for dessert may ask for the check instead because no waiter is available to suggest it. With digital ordering, every impulse to add another round of drinks or a dessert is captured instantly — the menu is always available, always attentive, and never too busy. Over a month, recovering even a fraction of these lost orders adds up to significant revenue.
Data-driven decisions
FoxiFood's analytics dashboard shows your best-selling items, peak ordering hours, average order values by time of day, and revenue trends over weeks and months. Use this data to make informed decisions: identify which menu items have the highest margins, discover which time slots are underperforming, and optimize your staffing schedule accordingly. For example, if data shows dessert orders peak at 8:30 PM, you can prepare dessert ingredients in advance to speed up delivery. Restaurants that actively use their ordering data to adjust menus and pricing typically see an additional 8-12% revenue increase within three months.
Digital upselling power
Studies show that digital menus increase upsell rates by 20-30% compared to verbal suggestions from waitstaff. FoxiFood's smart suggestion engine automatically shows relevant desserts, drinks, side dishes, and add-ons at checkout based on what the customer has already selected. A burger order triggers a suggestion for fries and a craft beer; a pizza order suggests a salad starter and a bottle of wine. A restaurant in Prague using FoxiFood saw their dessert sales increase by 45% within the first month — simply because every single customer was shown dessert options at the perfect moment, something no waiter team can achieve consistently during a busy service.
Building a direct customer base
Instead of renting your customers from Wolt and Bolt Food — where the aggregator owns the relationship and data — build your own direct customer database with FoxiFood. When guests create an account to order from your restaurant, you own that relationship. Regulars can reorder their favorites in one tap, saving time and increasing repeat order frequency. You can send email promotions directly to your customers: lunch specials to office workers, weekend brunch offers to families, birthday discounts to loyal guests. This direct channel costs nothing beyond the monthly FoxiFood fee, compared to paying 25-35% commission every time an aggregator sends you a customer you may have already served before.
