Customers, for example can enjoy the convenience of checking out latest offers, discounts, packages, combos, etc and order immediately at the counter.
This will undoubtedly increase the customer satisfaction. Also, customer loyalty programs can be implemented more effectively since it would be easier for customers to access and use their discount coupons, freebies, and other promotional offers.
