Convious, a leading eCommerce platform for the leisure industry, has announced the launch of its Mobile Food Ordering technology. This allows guests to order food and beverage options directly from their own mobile device and avoid queues, leaving more time to enjoy the attractions. They can also track their order in real-time.
The solution has already proved popular at Avonturenpark Hellendoorn in the Netherlands, which first partnered with Convious 12 months ago in order to enhance and digitise the guest experience.
Enhancing the guest experience
“We believe that adapting to the technologies our visitors are already using is the right path towards digitizing the park while offering a great overall experience. We know that people hate queueing, so Mobile Food Ordering is a perfect solution towards making this a frictionless process,” says Tim Golstein, Director of Avonturenpark Hellendoorn.
With this new functionality, visitors can order food and drink from anywhere on-site, and can even place their order before they visit. The benefits for guests are clear – they avoid queues and can spend more time having fun.
But there are numerous benefits for the operator too. Mobile ordering allows the kitchen to streamline operations as it can see all order contents alongside the pick-up time and an estimated start time. Plus, mobile food ordering can lead to an increase of 25% in order sizes.
“We are excited to be launching Mobile Food Ordering this season. Aside from contributing to the overall experience, it is a COVID-proof solution. In the first months, we have already seen great results, not to mention that our kitchen staff has embraced it in a great way,” says Golstein.
“We are happy to be launching Mobile Food Ordering,” adds Koen Scholte, CMO at Convious. “Now more than ever, visitors expect a stressless and safe experience when visiting attractions, and this solution ticks both boxes.
“At Convious, we focus on developing technologies that help venues connect with their visitors before, during, and after their visit, and Mobile Food Ordering is a perfect example of that. We are eager to see more venues embracing these technologies to deliver a memorable visitor experience.”
Earlier this year, the company announced that Erlebnis-Zoo Hannover had become the first zoo in Germany to bring in its cutting-edge Real-Time Pricing solution.
