Pizza Lovers Rejoice: The Ultimate Solution for Online Ordering is Here!
Every Pizzeria Needs Appfront
May 20, 2020
Ever since the first pizza was made way back in 1889 by baker Raffaele Esposito from Naples, making and selling pizza has never been an easy task.
From street vendors to big chains, selling pizzas, fast and tasty, is a challenging art form.
Hot ovens, demanding customers, and complicated deliveries are part of the reason.
If “Why is my pizza still not here?! I ordered it 20 minutes ago?!” sounds familiar, then you know what we mean. Today, in the digital era, we believe that a good pizzaiolo needs to concentrate on making amazing pizzas, and technology companies should take care of the rest.
Here are the top reasons why every pizzeria needs Appfront in its arsenal:
Blazing Fast ⚡️ - Pizza is all about speed! As it is one of the most impulse purchases we know of in the food industry, speed is one of the most important ingredients in a good pizza. The ordering process should be super-fast, both in terms of the preparation time and the delivery itself. If one of these parameters falls short (or falls slow for that matter), the final product suffers. This is the main reasons that our emphasizes speed when it comes to online ordering. We won’t go through all the ins-and-outs of the technologies we use to make it happen, but the bottom line is that our customers' online ordering experience speaks for itself: order.pequodspizza.com. When we ran this website through Google’s PageSpeed test page, the results were top notch:
Built in Rewards 👑 - Reward your regulars, they deserve it. Using our loyalty platform anyone can build a customized loyalty program. Our Loyalty and Rewards system helps business owners keep track of top customers and the ones that might have fallen through the cracks, using targeted rewards, coupons and deals directly to their mobile phone via push notifications, text messages or emails. This reminds customers of your business when they're considering ordering their next pizza, at a family event or when the game is on. Appfront’s robust loyalty program is fully integrated within the ordering process. Points, cashback, visits, money-spent tracking, and a tier-based programs are just some of the tools available in our arsenal that make rewards simple.

Menu Auto Sync - Our sync algorithms can change any POS menu structure to be the most user-friendly ordering experience. So if the menu on your POS has size choices and each size contains all of the signature pizza styles, we can flip it around to show a beautiful assortment of pizzas on the main menu page.
