With the “Favourite Product” feature, your guests can mark meals as favorites in the apps or in the catering portal! 

For this purpose, the favorite food can be marked with a heart directly on the menu plan. If a meal has been marked as a favorite and is available again on a menu at a later date, the logged-in user will receive a push message informing them that their favorite meal is available again. Clicking on the notification takes the user directly to the corresponding dish in the menu and allows them to pre-order it.

You activate the feature in the app settings in the respective menu plan. Under the item "Favourites" you can select whether and when push notifications should be sent daily or weekly.

Scan - Pay - Enjoy – this is how you avoid long waiting times at the food counter. With the new ePaper technology, the dishes can be scanned directly at the buffet via the app. Through NFC, a contactless data exchange between the ePaper display and the app occurs. Thus, the dish automatically appears in the guests' shopping basket. The food can then be collected and the guest can pay comfortably at the table via app with a payment service provider of choice.

Are you interested in the qnips Scan & Go via ePaper? Then please get in touch with your respective qnips contact person.

If you use the native android- and iOS-app, you now have the possibility to exclude user accounts from certain features of the app by means of a special update.
