Re-imagining Your Dining Options
Members can’t wait to get out and dine at your club. But things will have to change first – and bing one is space and capacity. You may need to consider removing tables or spacing them differently during the early phases of re-opening the club. You may also want to expand your outdoor dining options. To protect your members’ experience and ensure the safety of your staff, below are suggestions to consider.
- Rearrange your table layout to be spread out for social distancing
- Consider using paper menus
- Update your reservation blocks to ensure you don’t book over capacity for these smaller groups
- Allow time for cleaning in your reservation block
Mobile Ordering
More than ordering at the turn, in the last weeks, Mobile Ordering was already taking on a huge role in the dining experience before the virus hit. Now it’s even more critical. With mobile ordering, you can offer curbside pickup, delivery service, or even groceries to go while the dining rooms are closed with the same individualized club experience your members expect. The result is just one more way that you can continue to engage with and maintain relationships with your members. In many ways, you are only limited by your imagination and willingness to experiment. Check out this amazing Mobile Ordering layout from Field Club of Omaha!

Beyond mobile ordering, consider different ways to apply mobile technology. For example, you could leverage the advantages of the app for mobile for check-ins or utilize a kiosk for self-check-in the dining room to make the best use of your staff, deliver fast and streamlined service, and assure possible contact is kept to a minimum.
