Sber introduces automation service for streamlining restaurant management operations.
At the boisterous Gastreet festival, Alexei Shashkin, helming the "Small and Microbusiness" division of Sberbank, dropped a tantalizing new automation service for eateries – a collaboration with Evoator. This user-friendly and swiftly implementable app streamlines the core duties of dining establishments, from crunching numbers in the kitchen and warehouse to serving guests at tables and handling takeout orders, monitoring analytics, and managing loyalty programs. Gearing toward the most red-hot market segment – petite cafes, quaint coffee shops, street food joints, and food courts – it's already verified to optimize sales at all Gastreet festival locations.
"Sberbank intertwines with 60% of Russian eateries, with two out of every three points wired with our payment terminals – approximately 150,000 of them. Last year witnessed a 30% spike in entrepreneurs opting for Sberbank payments. At Gastreet 2024, we introduced a state-of-the-art mobile payment terminal for digital transactions, and this year, hand in hand with Evoator, we present an upgraded version of our automated catering system. This encompasses a comprehensive range of business solutions," asserts Alexei Shashkin, director of the "Small and Microbusiness" division of Sberbank.
The innovative service forms part of Sber's tailor-made industry solution for eateries, encompassing high-end, multi-dimensional analytics: extensive reports on earnings, average expenses, guest revisit rates, and palate preferences. Business analytics are also accessible: systemic comparisons with competitors, industry trends, and regional consumption peculiarities. The industry solution further assists in making the informed decision to place a new restaurant in a prime location, minimizing the risks of opening new dining establishments by mapping pedestrian and vehicle traffic, rental prices, and consumer income levels in target regions.
Apart from this delectable service for eateries, Sberbank offers specialized industry solutions for a myriad of business sectors, including online sellers, retailers, service providers, and more.
"EvoTor joins the festivities as Gastreet's primary partner, while debuting at the festival the smart pinpad EvoPoint, strategically conjured in partnership with Sberbank. This advanced AI-powered device, equipped with voice control and speech analytics, synergizes with our service for automating the food industry. The pinpad accelerates and elevates service delivery by recognizing commands 'by ear', reconciling them with the cash register catalog, and automatically adding items to the bill. Ultimately, the customer only pays for their order. Our solution fulfills the industry's demand for simple, multifunctional, integrated, holistic solutions," declares Alexander Rastorguev, director of payment solutions at IT company EvoTor.
"Alexei Shashkin, from Sberbank's 'Small and Microbusiness' division, expands their industry solution for eateries, collaborating with technology company EvoTor. This new service merges finance and technology, offering an automated catering system that streamlines business operations in the food industry."
"Going beyond the food industry, Sberbank provides specialized industry solutions for various business sectors, including finance, technology, retail, and online sales, aiming to simplify and integrate business operations for these industries as well."
