IKEA LOURES MODERNIZES RESTAURANT CONCEPT WITH PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS SELF-SERVICE KIOSKS

The Swedish group, the global leader in home and office furniture, has chosen the Loures store in Portugal to test a new concept of restauration. A pioneering project at the global level, which amounted to 1.2 million euros.

According to Kevin Coventry, director of Ikea Loures, “It’s hard to have a fantastic store experience if you’re hungry.” It is for this purpose that the group has been developing the IKEA FOOD, the catering area that bets on providing excellent meals at affordable prices.

The importance of family comfort is paramount for the group, and as such the catering area has been heavily invested, with new menus, a completely refurbished space and a much more efficient meal and order service, with the QSR self-service kiosks of PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS, in a project led by Levoo..

According to the director of the store itself, the queues were delayed and should be improved. The introduction of checkout kiosks has enabled customers to automatically order and pay for meals, significantly reducing waiting time and improving the management of the entire service.

“Kiosks have improved waiting times significantly. It depends on the time of day, but we go from an average of 6 to 8 minutes of waiting, to 3 minutes, “says Kevin Coventry.

For a catering area that already serves more than 3000 meals a day, which has the collaboration of eight dozen employees, was critical to the modernization of the service.
