Managing a restaurant in UAE that solely depends on dine-in orders to turn a profit might not be a wise business decision to make. To get more out of the existing setup, we list our restaurant on other third-party platforms like Talabat to serve a wider group of customers and capture more orders by offering a food delivery service.
With the food delivery market in UAE and Qatar growing at a steady pace year on year, restaurants are taking advantage by offering their extensive menu for home delivery. Managing these multiple services on a day-to-day basis might be time-consuming and hectic if you don't have a proper setup in place to handle it. Some pain points experienced by the restaurant owners in the Middle East(Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Iraq and Egypt) include manually punching every single order received from the third-party aggregators' dashboard onto the POS used. To solve this, we must integrate the restaurant point of sale system with the delivery partner's application.
Integrating your existing Restaurant Point of Sale System with the delivery partner's from a legacy or On-Premise Point of Sale System is hard to do as they are built on an old and obsolete framework. Switching to a Cloud-Based Point of Sale system is the first step to do when planning to integrate Talabat with your POS.
Check out this article that clearly states the benefits of moving to a Cloud-Based Point of Sale System for Restaurants. Restaurants in UAE and Saudi Arabia are slowly shifting away from legacy software and embracing new Cloud-Based Point of Sale Systems.
Once you have settled on a Cloud-Based Point of Sale System, you have to look into the Talabat integration with pos. It can be done with a special API which in layman's terms, is an intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other and function in unison.
To get the API from an online food delivery aggregator, you must first sign up on Talabat and become a partner to accept orders. Once you have successfully become a partner you can proceed with the final part of integrating with your Restaurant Cloud POS.
Integrating can be done in two different ways.
Some of the POS providers also provide Talabat integration at an additional cost. They take care of it when initially setting up the Point of Sale System for the very first time. There are third-party services whose services are to provide Talabat integration with pos to restaurants that want to use a plug-and-play integration system.
We over at DiNAMIC use an inbuilt system to take care of Talabat integration requests to our Cloud-Based Restaurant Point of Sale System. We have successfully undertaken several integration requests from our end.
Advantages of Integrating Third-Party Aggregators into existing POS:
There are numerous advantages to integrating all third-party food delivery apps into one dashboard. The following are some of the clear benefits they offer to you.
The key takeaways from this are that if you are planning to do Talabat integration with your pos first, you need to have a Cloud-Based Point of Sale System capable of integration using an API. Having a food order management system that is simple to use gives less room for errors that can otherwise occur.
