Two significant features, says Hitesh Anand, chief product officer at Mobikon, will help restaurants do exactly that and more. Mobikon has a customer engagement analytics platform designed for the F&B industry and, at booth 4G1-07, it is highlighting its offline to online marketing via local ads feature on Facebook, as well as its global customer profile driven by its data and artificial intelligence (AI) engine. These new features will enable single outlets, as well as multi-location restaurants, to drive revenue and engagement using local and precise targeting, and serve customers better with insights driven by using global customer profiles. Anand elaborates: “With offline to online marketing via local ads, a restaurant can activate campaigns, not only for its existing customers on Facebook, but also target look-alikes by simply uploading current consumer data onto Mobikon’s platform. “Mobikon’s data and AI engine then uses AI and machine learning to build global insights and target the right set of existing new consumers. This, in turn, results in higher marketing ROI for restaurants.” Driving personalised experiences is Mobikon’s global customer profile, where an AI engine is constantly building and updating the global customer profile on Mobikon’s data cloud and enriching customer profiles, describes Samir Khadepaun, CEO of Mobikon. Through its various consumer touchpoints, the Mobikon platform gathers transactional and behavourial data about customers, and creates a global customer profile that spans customer lifespan across brands. Khadepaun says: “This helps the brand and outlet managers know about customer preferences, likes and dislikes, perceptions and behaviours not only at their outlet, but also as a diner in general. They can now serve the customer in a more personalised manner and generate loyalty.” This way, restaurants will be able to see the customer’s dining frequency and preferred timing, as well as reviews and feedback on social media. Apart from that, regardless whether a customer has visited a specific restaurant, the servers are now able to understand the customer’s food preferences, whether it is spicy food and/or mixed drinks, and able to know not only what to offer from the menu based on their preferences, but also that they can upsell the new line of mixed Find out from Mobikon how its data-driven AI products are driving F&B FHA2018 daily 1 29/3/18 6:12 PM drinks the 3. chef has Show put on the advertising menu. 19x27cmH.pdf market automation. 15
