Conclusion summary:Whether the self-service ordering machine can increase the unit price depends onInterface Design and Marketing Rule DesignIt does not depend on the device itself. The ordering machine provides the hardware foundation: large-screen dish display, bar code and two-dimensional code scanning (for member identification and coupon verification), 80mm thermal receipt (for printing re-touch information), prompt tone and time switch machine. Package design, additional purchase recommendation, member play and time menu are realized by ordering software. QUNMAO is the source manufacturer of self-service ordering machine products in China,Ordering software support customized according to customer needsYou can also run customer-owned software.
QUNMAO self-service ordering machine: improving customer unit price through interface and marketing rule design
The basis of self-service ordering marketing in 1.: why there is room for ordering machines to increase unit price
Key pointsThe marketing space of the self-service ordering machine comes from four mechanisms: the menu is completely visible, the recommended actions are consistent, the customers are not subject to time pressure, and the whole process data can be recorded. The effect size needs to be verified with the store's own data.
The menu is fully visible.MechanismWhen ordering manually, the employee's verbal recommendation is limited by space and time;ordering machineThe screen can fully display the dish map, package and feeding options, and customers can browse by themselves. QUNMAO ordering machine adopts 21.5 "-32" 1920 × 1080 vertical screen (desktop model 15.6 "), and the display area of the dish map is large.
The recommended action is consistent.MechanismThe ordering software will implement the same recommended rules for each order and will not miss it because employees are busy or inconvenient to speak.
Customers are not under time pressure.MechanismAt the ordering machine, customers can decide for themselves whether to add, upgrade or add, without the pressure of being watched or urged.
The whole process data can be recorded.MechanismHome page clicks, product browsing, additional purchases, abandonment, and payments can all be recorded to provide a basis for resumption.
around these four mechanisms,Buffet Ordering MarketingIt can be split into five types of actions: package, additional purchase, recommendation, membership and time period, which together constitute the landing point of digital catering marketing on the store site. QUNMAO organizes these five types of actions into configurable rules such as ordering machine package design and ordering machine member play, which are customized through ordering software.
Boundaries:Self-test requiredWhether the above four mechanisms bring about changes in the unit price of visitors, and how much, depends on the menu structure, price band, customer group and region, this paper does not pre-set conclusions.
2. define the indicator first: unit price is not the only target.
Key pointsThe evaluation of the marketing effect of the order should be based on the unit price of the customer, the joint rate, the acceptance rate of the purchase, the waiver rate and the gross profit unit price at the same time. Looking only at the unit price of the customer may draw the wrong conclusion because of the increase in the abandonment rate.

Special reminder: The goal of the ordering machine to increase the unit price of the customer should not be at the expense of gross profit or experience. Raising the unit price of customers and lowering the gross margin, or raising the abandonment rate, is not an effective optimization. Therefore, each design adjustment should be observed at the same time.Gross profit unit pricewithAbandonment rate。
3. six touch points: the customer's conversion path on the ordering machine
Key pointsThe customer's behavior path on the ordering machine can be divided into six contacts: home page, classification and merchandise, package and additional purchase, customized options, shopping cart and settlement, receipt and member re-contact. Each contact corresponds to a set of design actions and metrics.
① Home PageMain Pushing and Entry
② Classified goodsRanking and recommendation
③ Package plus purchasePackage, snack, exchange purchase
④ Customization optionsFeeding, Cup, Upgrade
⑤ Shopping cartGather Orders and Settlement
⑥ Member with receiptRereach and repurchase
The following is a contact-by-contact description of the design action, mechanism, basis and measurement. QUNMAO ordering software supports customization according to customer needs. The above rules can be configured according to the menu structure of the brand. If the customer uses self-ordering software,ordering machineThe same can run.
3.1 contact 1: Home-Decide what the customer sees first
Key pointsThe first page should be information restraint: a main push position, a few classified entrances, and a clear "hall food/take-out" choice to allow customers to start adding shopping carts for the first time as soon as possible.
Brand & Language Switch
Main Push: Seasonal Package/New Product
Hall Food-Tape

Shopping Cart · Total · Go to Settlement
Fig. 1 schematic diagram of the partition wireframe of the home page of the ordering machine (vertical screen, schematic layout, specific design adjusted according to brand)
Design action:Only one current main push is placed in the main push position; The number of classified entrances is restrained; The first step of "hall food/take-out" is put to determine the subsequent process.
Mechanism:MechanismThe less information on the first page, the easier it is for customers to start ordering. The main push position bears the first recommendation.
Hardware Basis:Specification sheetQUNMAO ordering machine has a 1920 × 1080 IPS vertical screen with brightness ≥ 300cd/㎡(15.6 "desktop model ≥ 280cd/㎡), capacitance G G touch control and 20 points, which is convenient for large picture and large button operation. The interface supports multiple languages.
Metric:Conversion from home page to first addition to shopping cart, recommended bit conversion rate.
3.2 contact 2: classification and commodity sorting-"profit goods first" how to do it.
Key pointsThe premise of "profit product priority" is to stratify the product according to the three dimensions of gross profit, sales volume and production time, and then put the profit payment in the position where the customer's line of sight is most concentrated, while retaining the visibility of the basic payment.

Mechanism:MechanismCustomers are more likely to click on items that are higher and have larger pictures.
Risk:Hiding the basic payment or piling up the profit payment on the first screen will reduce the browsing efficiency and increase the rate of giving up halfway.
Metric:Click-through rate, add-to-cart rate, gross customer unit price for each tier of goods.Self-test required
3.3 contact 3: ordering machine package design and additional purchase recommendation-the most direct unit price lever
Key pointsPackage design and purchase recommendation are the two actions that most directly affect the unit price and joint rate of customers. Design principle: push only one at a time, position before placing an order, can be rejected with one key, and does not interrupt the main process.
