How to Improve the Guest Experience in Hospitality with Ordering Technology

Onesix ordering technology enhances the hospitality experience with faster service, fewer errors, smart upselling, and more control for guests — for satisfied customers and a more efficient restaurant.

The hospitality sector is changing rapidly. Guests expect not just great food and drinks, but also convenience, speed, and personal service. Long queues, order errors, and slow staff can significantly impact the guest experience. Fortunately, ordering technology, such as the systems from Onesix, offers a solution that improves both the guest experience and operational efficiency.

Why Ordering Technology Matters for Guests

Customers want a seamless experience: they want to order quickly, see exactly what they are getting, and sometimes personalise their order. Traditional ordering methods via staff can:

  • Cause waiting times during peak hours
  • Lead to order errors
  • Miss upsell opportunities, such as extras or premium options

With ordering technology, these challenges are addressed. Guests can place their order on an intuitive touchscreen or via a mobile ordering option, making the experience faster, clearer, and more enjoyable.

Benefits of Ordering Technology for Hospitality Guests

1. Faster Service and Shorter Wait Times

With an Onesix self-order kiosk, multiple customers can order simultaneously, improving throughput and reducing the time guests spend waiting.

2. Fewer Errors and More Control

Guests enter their own order, including modifications such as allergies, toppings, or sauce choices. This way, they get exactly what they want, without misunderstandings.

3. Smart and Subtle Upselling

Onesix systems automatically recommend extras, meal combinations, or premium upgrades. Guests do not feel pressured but do discover options that enhance their experience.

4. Order Personalisation

From an extra shot of espresso to extra cheese on a burger, guests can customise their order exactly as they wish. This increases satisfaction and gives a sense of control.

5. Consistent Experience

Every guest receives the same professional presentation of the menu, regardless of who is working at that moment. This ensures a reliable and pleasant experience.

Additional Benefits for Your Restaurant

Beyond increasing guest satisfaction, deploying Onesix ordering technology also delivers operational advantages:

  • Staff can focus on hospitality and quality control
  • Processing times per customer are shorter, allowing you to serve more guests per hour
  • Data insights support menu optimisation, inventory management, and marketing strategies

Tips for Optimal Implementation

1. Place Self-Order Kiosks Strategically

Near the entrance or in visible zones so customers immediately know they can order themselves.

2. Combine Digital with Personal Contact

Keep staff available for questions or special requests. This way, the human touch is preserved.

3. Optimise Menu and Visuals

Use attractive photos, clear descriptions, and strategic positioning of popular and profitable items.

4. Monitor and Optimise

Analyse data from Onesix systems to see which items sell well, where upselling works, and how the ordering process can be improved.

Conclusion: An Enhanced Guest Experience with Onesix

With Onesix ordering technology, you not only increase efficiency in your restaurant but also create a better experience for your guests. Faster orders, fewer errors, smart upselling, and more control for the customer make the difference between a standard visit and a memorable hospitality experience.
