Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) Ecosystem Market - U.S. Industry Analysis and Forecast

The quick service restaurant (QSR) ecosystem has revolutionized the hoteling and restaurant business with instant solutions that solve many problems. The system refers to a setup where orders are taken and payment is made in a prompt manner, with the delivery of food done in the shortest possible time. Changing consumer preferences due to the hectic pace of today’s digitalized life are forcing restaurants to be quicker in their service. The same spread of digitalization is bringing in unprecedented speed, accuracy, and clarity in transactions in the restaurant industry.

 

Adoption of New Technology to Boost QSR Ecosystem Market in the U.S.

 

The quick service restaurant ecosystem, especially in the U.S., is taking a fresh look at digital wallets, as the conventional mode of payments such as Visa, Mastercard, and EuroPay need the customers to put in their PIN for authenticating the payment, thus defeating the purpose of speedy transactions. According to a research from Chadwick Martin Bailey, restaurants will have to adopt the NFC model of payment with Google Wallet, Apple Pay, and such other services in order to serve customers faster. This will not only enhance the speed of the service, but will also enable restaurants to add loyalty features, just as these applications do, to retain customers. These rewards will motivate the customers to try out the new technology as well, thereby promoting the growth of the quick service restaurants ecosystem market in the U.S.
