Published

Resotto is a unique mobile platform that focuses on a delightful diner experience through restaurant automation.
This venture was started by Neeraj Jain in 2015. Being a foodie, he never felt satisfied with the restaurant service, especially waiting involved in getting a table or placing an order. Hence, he decided to automate the process. To validate the idea, Resotto conducted an online user survey across major metropolitan cities in India and the results were promising. 65.6% respondents would prefer to use a mobile application to place an order instead of waiting for a steward. 69.6% respondents would love to pay their bills directly from their phone.

Diners face inconvenience in the restaurants due to staff shortage, un-skilled staff, inability of the restaurant to handle rush hours, haphazardly managed waiting queues, filthy and outdated menus to name a few. Restaurants do not have sufficient flexibility to introduce new dishes at will, or change prices as per market conditions. They have no concrete data to act upon. All this affects guest experience too.

By using Resotto, restaurants can improve their top line and bottom line, while their guests will enjoy a better dining experience and earn benefits through Resotto Points when they dine.

Resotto can improve restaurant revenues through following means:

 Digital menu and table ordering will increase bill value with impulse buying, upsell and cross sell.
 Sell not just food & drinks, but secondary products like bakery or merchandise which can be browsed and ordered directly from the app.
 Reduce table turn time and increase table turns
 A satisfied guest means better online rating and hence more guest in-flow
 Real time promotions of offers & events on the B2C app.
 Digital menu is flexible, which means introduce new dishes and change prices at any time.

Restaurants can also control expenses:

 Leverage to negotiate with supplier since menu prices can be changed.
 Less dependency on staff. No need for buffer staff. Manageable with low skilled staff too.
 No need to print paper menus again and again
 Low marketing expense for new offers & events
 Less mistakes due to manual order taking and other human errors
 Better monitoring over the operations due to cloud access.
