Project Charter: Tabletop Menu Tablets

DATE: [05/21/24]

Project Summary

The project aims to introduce a digital menu and point-of-sale (POS) system that will
be guest-facing in a restaurant setting. This system will involve the deployment of fully
integrated tablets at each table, providing guests with a user-friendly interface for
placing orders. Simultaneously, the system will enhance the efficiency of the
restaurant’s ticketing process.

Project Goals
● Enhanced Guest Experience: The primary goal of implementing a digital menu
and point-of-sale system is to enhance the overall guest experience at the
restaurant. By providing guests with a user-friendly, interactive tablet system at
each table, the aim is to streamline the ordering process, increase efficiency,
and improve customer satisfaction.
● Seamless Ordering Process: The digital menu and POS system will enable
guests to browse through the menu, place orders, customize their selections,
and request service directly from their table. This seamless ordering process
aims to reduce wait times, minimize errors in order taking, and ultimately
enhance the dining experience for customers.
● Efficient Ticketing System: Another key goal of this initiative is to provide the
restaurant with a more effective ticketing system. By integrating the digital
menu and POS system with the restaurant’s backend operations, such as
inventory management and order processing, the aim is to optimize workflow
efficiency, reduce manual errors, and improve overall operational performance.
● Data Collection and Analysis: Implementing a digital menu and POS system
also presents an opportunity to collect valuable data on customer preferences,
ordering patterns, peak hours, popular menu items, etc. The goal here is to
leverage this data for business insights, such as menu optimization, targeted
marketing campaigns, and strategic decision-making to drive profitability.

● Cost Savings and Sustainability: By transitioning to a digital menu and POS


system, there may be potential cost savings in terms of reduced paper usage
for traditional menus, lower printing costs for menu updates, and improved
sustainability practices by minimizing waste. The project aims to align with eco-
friendly initiatives while also potentially reducing operational expenses in the
long run.

● Staff Productivity and Training: The implementation of a guest-facing digital


menu and POS system can also contribute to enhancing staff productivity by
streamlining order processing, reducing manual tasks like taking orders or
processing payments manually. Additionally, it can simplify training processes
for new staff members by providing them with intuitive tools that facilitate their
roles within the restaurant.
