Tablet Rollout
Impact Report
Executive Summary
This project was a pilot rollout to install tabletop menu tablets at the bar section of Sauce & Spoon North and Sauce &
Spoon Downtown restaurants by the beginning of the second quarter (Q2). The project was launched with the vision of
increasing customer satisfaction and retention by reducing delays in service and providing quality service which would
subsequently help to increase the profit margin.
The project was a success in many ways. Customer satisfaction was high and we met our internal revenue goals. Just
after the pilot, customer satisfaction was at 72%. Post implementation based on improvements based on feedback,
customer satisfaction increased to 86%. Our monthly revenue has increased steadily since the tablet rollout, upwards of
20% since September/pre-rollout
Conducting a test run and analyzing the survey results helped immensely with identifying the tasks that needed a slight
tweaking. Approaching with a positive and encouraging attitude and reminding that every one is working towards the
same goals, helped with getting the staff to adapt to new approaches or changes.

● At the test, our guests seemed to have some trouble with the navigation, so we switched to a layout that guests
have found much simpler.
● At test we were behind on our objective of reducing table turn time, so we worked with the general managers on
ways to speed things up. - training wait staff be more aware of guest pacing
● Another change based on feedback was we implemented some better messaging around making sure guests
know they’re paying with a card only. And I’m pretty sure we’ve weeded out the glitch tablets through a new pre-
service checking system! We wanted fewer than 5% of customers reporting tech issues, and we got there.
