Why you need to supercharge your CRM to increase guest loyalty
CRM is a powerful tool to help boost profits and improve guest relationships
)
Building guest relationships is a crucial factor of success in the F&B industry, but another challenge is maintaining and retaining that relationship. One solution is to utilize the right customer relationship management (CRM) tool that ensures consistent, high-quality customer service to increase guest loyalty and satisfaction.
Here are four areas that effective CRM software should have to help improve guest relationships and drive more revenue.
Must-have CRM integrations: In-depth trend and performance analysis
Owning guest data allows businesses to make data-driven decisions by collecting and analyzing guest profiles and behaviors.
The right CRM system should be able to have that seamless integration with your POS system and analytics tools to optimize your business. It should be able to help highlight revenue trends and compare performances across various segments such as daily average revenue, most used payment methods, or highest or most popular times of the day. This is vital in business planning and can help forecast your growth.

Power of personalization
The best way to appeal to customers is by engaging them with a one-of-a-kind experience. 70% of consumers want personalized experiences upon their purchase, which can easily be conducted if you have the tools to look into your guest data.
For example, when a customer calls the restaurant, their caller ID along with their guest profile, history of visit, special dates, and preferences should pop up on the tablet or laptop as the host or staff takes the call. Staff can answer the call by their name, creating a deeper sense of connection with guests and making them feel important, thus increasing guest satisfaction.

Increase guest loyalty
According to a study, repeat visitors tend to spend 67% more than first-time visitors and cost 10 times less than acquiring a new customer.
By owning and understanding guest data, restaurants can send targeted marketing emails and newsletters to the right audience. From inviting high-value guests to a special course meal night to sending coupon deals on a special occasion for couples–these are all strategies that can easily be implemented with the right software to boost guest loyalty.

Build a direct relationship with guests
CRM software helps reduce operational tasks and allows your staff to increase time directly spent with guests.
TableCheck's client Grand Hyatt Jakarta utilizes TableCheck’s CRM to spend less time on operations and more time with guests. Direct relationships build empathy, connection, and trust with guests, and help drive them back to your venue for repeat visits.
“TableCheck's very user-friendly interface has allowed us to streamline and simplify our operations by implementing a dedicated Restaurant reservations team separate from the rest of the outlets. This way, each restaurant's host/hostess/receptionist can focus more his or her attention to the guests rather than on the screen [while] constantly taking reservations”- Grand Hyatt Jakarta
