Mobile ordering and payments platform for restaurants and guests | Waitrr COO Tim Davies

  • Summary

  • We have a chat with Tim Davies, Co-founder and COO of Waitrr. Waitrr allows restaurant guests to access menus, place orders and pay instantly - all from their phones. No more waving to get the attention of the waiters. It is a mobile payment and ordering solution that increases the capacity of floor staff, increase table turns and increases average ticket size.


    With a team of 10, Waitrr currently processes USD 27million in GMV. Did you know that 1/3 of a restaurant's expense goes towards manpower? To tackle the manpower issues, restaurants have turned towards tablet ordering and ordering kiosks. But no one wants to input their credit card details on a shared tablet. For the kiosks, they've just moved the human cashier to a machine and these kiosks take up valuable floor space. 


    Benefits of Waitrr to restaurants:

    1. Can go live in 48 hours

    2. Save on manpower

    3. Increase average check size due to automated upselling and cross selling

    4. Improve table turns - faster payment + faster ordering

    5. Access to data that they have never had access to before (how often are customers coming back, are they a first-time customer and so on)
