GRUBBRR, the leading provider of self-ordering technologies, is giving back this holiday season by providing free employees to restaurants that are struggling to survive amidst the ongoing labor shortage. CEO Sam Zietz was on CNBC discussing the free employee promotion and restaurant industry trends.
According to the National Restaurant Association, the restaurant industry is still almost a million workers shy of pre-pandemic levels, and 80% of restaurant operators say that they are understaffed. What’s worse, 58% of restaurant employees plan to quit their jobs by the end of the holiday season. With over 110,000 U.S. restaurants closed since the beginning of the pandemic, the labor shortage is devastating an industry already fraught with razor-thin profit margins and high closure rates.
Thankfully, GRUBBRR is committed to providing free employees in the form of the Samsung Kiosk powered by GRUBBRR to restaurants struggling to survive this holiday season. By providing this free kiosk employee, GRUBBRR is enabling restaurants to deploy a dynamic labor solution that is more efficient than traditional employees and is proven to decrease operating costs, increase revenue, and improve the customer experience.
“GRUBBRR is a complete ecosystem addressing everything from order channel to distribution of goods,” says GRUBBRR CEO Sam Zietz. “What’s great about our partnership with Samsung is that we have been able to democratize the cost of kiosks. You don’t have to spend tens of thousands of dollars for a unit.”
Deploying kiosks allows operators to shift staff resources to improve other functions of the restaurant. For example, replacing a cashier with a kiosk in a quick service restaurant allows that staffer to be moved to the production line, thereby increasing throughput and driving more revenue. In addition, the Samsung Kiosk powered by GRUBBRR is affordable, easy to install, and customizable to any business. Kiosks always show up, don’t call in sick, always upsell, and are ready to work 24/7, even on the holidays.
By providing restaurants with this kiosk employee, GRUBBRR is saving the holidays by ensuring that restaurant operators can not only survive, but thrive amid the labor shortage. To qualify for the promotion, operators must have 10 or more open locations within the quick service, fast casual, or retail industries. Those that qualify will receive the Samsung Kiosk powered by GRUBBRR, which includes hardware and software, for a complimentary 60-day no obligation trial.
