It is difficult for smaller restaurants to sustain their business in unpredictable times. Now that customers are used to mobile and remote ordering solutions, business owners are competing in an online customer market. One way restaurants can embrace the new digital market is through a “stronger together” approach that supports their business, their customers, and their surrounding community.
By collaborating with shared neighboring restaurants, owners and operators can partner and occupy large spaces (indoor or outdoor) that provide each merchant an area to prepare and serve food and drinks to large gatherings – think of marketplaces, food halls, and large unoccupied buildings. Creative owners and operators are continually changing dining traditions and adapting to more socially-driven environments. Working collectively with other local merchants allows businesses to establish spaces where they can create social gatherings and vibrant atmospheres. These types of gatherings provide merchants an opportunity to extend their brand and menu offerings to attract new customers.

Community dining atmospheres let groups of customers enjoy different cuisines together in a single setting
With live music, family-friendly shows, and festivals, the shared dining environment easily becomes a go-to place for customers to gather, sit, and order from a variety of restaurants in their area. Groups of families and friends choose from multiple dining preferences – such as Asian, German, American, Italian, Hispanic, and more – creating an opportunity to share and enjoy food and drinks together in a single setting. This “blank canvas” approach transforms communities and traditional dining experiences by creating a focal point that diners will gravitate to. This also presents an opportunity for local community boards, agencies, and businesses to reserve space for meetings, employee gatherings, and community events.
Aldelo Express Cloud Point-of-Sale and Masa+ operators that participate in shared environments allow customers to order and pay directly from their smartphones. Customers are able to view digital menus of all participating merchants in a particular space and easily place orders.
QR codes can be posted on signage throughout these shared environments, providing customers web-based access to a restaurant’s online menu and services. Guests simply use their smartphone to view digital menus with a simple QR code scan, enabling restaurants to promote their food and drinks online.
