With new customer expectations, an evolving competitive environment, and access to emerging technologies, restaurants are faced with new challenges and new ways to achieve their goals.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The pandemic changed how diners interact with restaurants \u2013 especially quick-service restaurants \u2013 and what they expect from their experiences, with an emphasis on convenience and seamless digital experiences. With high inflation rates, those customers are also paying more attention to their spending, making it important for restaurants to evolve their promotions and offerings to better resonate with customers to maintain brand loyalty and wallet share.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">At the same time, costs are rising for everything from labor and food to utilities and rent. Restaurants now have higher operating expenses, which requires them to look for new opportunities to drive efficiencies, reduce costs, and optimize operations.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In the current environment, diners want more, competition is fierce, and restaurants must operate at maximum efficiency to survive. Thankfully, while the industry has shifted, new solutions have evolved to address today\u2019s challenges.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Restaurants have access to more data than ever before, which can be collected, processed, and analyzed to better understand customers, operations, and opportunities. With new data and analytics technologies developing at a breakneck speed, there are new tools and techniques available to drive powerful business insight. This includes not just evolutions in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wavicledata.com\/data-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">data management<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, governance, and analysis but also new capabilities for exploring vast volumes of data and leveraging <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wavicledata.com\/generative-ai-llm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">generative AI (GAI)<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> and machine learning for deeper insight.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Restaurants see the opportunities these technologies present for automation. Higher costs and consumer expectations have created an environment where restaurants need automation to relax the demands on their workforce and their budget; with the help of analytics and AI, restaurants will be able to achieve those goals through increased automation.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Looking into 2024, these industry challenges and opportunities will align into three core trends shaping the restaurant industry, all of which rely on analytics and AI to understand, automate, and deepen the customer experience.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Trend #1: Automating customer interactions<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:40,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In the restaurant industry, many think of the future as being marked by robots cooking food and delivering orders or AI interfacing with customers to take their orders.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">That future is already here; it\u2019s just unevenly distributed. Many restaurants have been experimenting in small numbers with automated order-taking, delivery robots, and chatbots for customer interactions. There are examples across the industry, such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.chipotle.com\/2022-03-16-CHIPOTLE-TESTS-AI-KITCHEN-ASSISTANT,-CHIPPY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Chipotle\u2019s tortilla chip chef &#8220;Chippy&#8221;<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qsrmagazine.com\/story\/is-ai-at-the-drive-thru-really-an-inevitably-for-restaurants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">AI-powered drive-thrus at Hardee\u2019s<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In 2024, we expect to see those small experiments expand. Customers are increasingly tolerant of chatbots and AI as they see and use more AI in their daily lives. The GAI boom in 2022 led by Chat GPT set the stage for a world where people interact with AI every day \u2013 and restaurants will be another venue where this is the norm.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">While many restaurant giants are already working to automate ordering, customer service, order delivery, and more, getting started is no easy feat. Restaurants that want to maximize their ROI from automation initiatives need to start with a strong foundational data strategy that collects, processes, and stores data in a way that can effectively fuel AI and automation technologies. In addition, building the models that fuel these technologies \u2013 like natural language processing (NLP) for automated drive-thrus \u2013 requires robust data science and AI capabilities.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As an automation-driven customer experience takes hold in the coming year, these AI and automation skills will be critical for restaurants looking to get ahead of their competition and build automated experiences that deliver on the quality and personalization today\u2019s diners expect.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Trend #2: Deepening customer connection<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:40,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">While restaurants are automating interactions with customers and removing some of the human element, they are simultaneously striving to deepen their connections with diners to build engagement and improve the customer experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">There are more customer channels than ever before, with data coming from websites, mobile apps, third-party delivery services, point-of-sale (POS) systems, and more. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wavicledata.com\/data-strategy-assessment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Modern data strategies<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> enable restaurants to harmonize and analyze all those channels and experiences to engage more personally with customers, gather more data about individual customers and their buying patterns, and react in real time to customers\u2019 buying patterns and behaviors.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To delight diners and inspire loyalty, restaurants must deliver personalized journeys and interactions. Evolutions in analytics and data science have created new options for personalization that weren\u2019t available five or 10 years ago, making this possible. However, to personalize interactions and delight customers at scale, restaurants must rely on automating segmentation and personalization and leveraging data from digital apps and loyalty programs.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Automating segmentation and personalization will be a critical way for restaurants to stay competitive and win wallet share in 2024. Deploying customized campaigns, offers, and promotions to the right customer segments at the right times drives customer loyalty and satisfaction, but is nearly impossible to achieve in a cost-effective way without <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wavicledata.com\/advanced-analytics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">advanced analytics<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Restaurants looking to build deeper customer connections at scale in 2024 will need to start with a modern data strategy, build a comprehensive portfolio of all their potential customer journeys, and use <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wavicledata.com\/predictive-modeling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">predictive modeling<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> and advanced data science techniques to evaluate what each customer segment is most likely to respond to.

It requires harmonizing data from many different systems to create a holistic dataset and then analyzing massive data volumes to get a true understanding of your customer.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">With more channels for customer interactions and reviews \u2013 including delivery apps, social media platforms, native apps, customer service systems, POS systems, and more \u2013 as part of a complex customer journey and large quantities of unstructured data coming from these sources, it\u2019s a monumental undertaking to truly understand and predict your diners\u2019 actions. For these reasons, established customer analytics programs have often been run by dedicated teams, producing findings that aren\u2019t always accessible or intuitive to other business units or non-technical teams.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">That standard is in the past. Evolving technologies offer new ways to manage, analyze, and democratize access to customer data. Today, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wavicledata.com\/text-analytics-nlp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">text analytics and NLP<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> can be used to tackle unstructured review and social media data, parsing complicated datasets and using complex co-referencing to distill data into insight.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">At the same time, GAI has changed the way individual users can interact with data, providing opportunities to analyze large datasets through written prompts. GAI is also a critical tool for democratizing customer analytics, as business intelligence tools like Amazon QuickSight are using GAI to enable self-service reporting by allowing users to generate custom visualizations using written prompts.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">With these new tools, restaurants will be able to generate customer analytics faster and more accurately and distribute those analytics across the business in user-friendly ways that can make non-technical team members into analytics super-users. The demand for data-driven decision-making continues to grow, and opportunities for automation in customer analytics will put the necessary data in decision-makers&#8217; hands when and how they need it in 2024.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Restaurant data, analytics, and AI strategies for 2024<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:40,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Entering the new year, the restaurant industry is at a crucial point where modern demands and technologies are both requiring and facilitating increased automation across the customer journey.
