Digital Tech Makes Mobile Payments Safer Than Credit Cards & Cash
Mobile app development for restaurants uses payments that are becoming increasingly popular among both customers and businesses. While there were some initial concerns about security and privacy, new high-tech measures are increasingly making mobile payments as safe as – if not safer than – credit cards and cash.
Why Improving Customer Experience Requires Tracking These 6 Metrics
As a restaurant owner, one of the greatest benefits of utilizing digital online ordering experiences for customers is that it gives you the ability to track many important metrics – something that is more difficult to accomplish if you’re only using traditional ordering systems in-house.
What Does A Restaurant Web & Mobile App Need To Be Successful?
The new age of digital technology is upon us. And let's face it, the days of picking up the phone, dialing a fast casual, and placing a pick up or delivery order are essentially gone. What does a restaurant web & mobile app need to be successful? Restaurant customers are increasingly expressing this sentiment: If they don't have online ordering, I'm not going to call, so I'm not ordering. With Apple's App Store receiving more than 1,000 app submissions from developers each day, restaurants are taking notice and throwing their hats into the app ring. With some restaurant apps being wildly popular and others totally flopping, the burning question has become: What digital technology do I need, and how do I make it work for my brand? The Basics of a Winning Restaurant Web &...
Avoiding Holiday Weight Gain with Technology
As much as we enjoy the holidays, they can be stressful. The stress seems like it is coming from all directions sometimes, too: money issues, making travel arrangements (and then actually traveling), the presents, the tree, the meals, the traffic, the constant frustration. With the holiday stress and all that goes along with it, the last thing you want to worry about it your weight on top of everything else. But you kind of should. There's so many factors that contribute to weight gain during the holiday season that if you want to make it through as fit as you were when you started (or even fitter), you need to pay attention to how the holidays affect your routine and adjust accordingly. But how can you do it with all the distractions and stressors that go along with the holidays? We've...
Rails: Slim Down Your Views
Great HTML markup should be clean and readable, however when you need to intermingle HTML with scripting code for server side rendering, this can be a bit difficult. One needs to look no further than the mess of PHP and HTML inside of a Wordpress view to see the truth in this. Luckily, many frameworks implement some sort of templating system for easier to read and write views. By default Rails uses ERBs and many developers use the HAML gem to simplify view syntax even more, but today we will discuss the lesser used Slim gem. First, a demonstration of the syntax: body h1 This is a page #main - @thing.each do | t | .title = t.title The first thing to take note of when using Slim is that it relies heavily on proper indentation for nesting tags. Any minor indentation mistake...
We need an Internet National Holiday
On this day - October 29th, 1969 - the Internet was born. The first connection on what would eventually become the Internet was made when data was exchanged between computers at UCLA and the Stanford Research Institute (SRI). It was the beginning of ARPANET, an early version of the Internet as we know it, developed by the Department of Defense. The transmission sent read "lo." The dispatch was originally sent as "login," but only the first two letters were received before the system crashed. By the end of 1969, the University of Santa Barbara and the University of Utah were connected to UCLA and SRI, bringing the total up to four connected sites. The following year, there were ten. And thus, the Internet was born. Well, kind of. The Internet, as we know it, didn't come to be overnight....
