How Technology is Changing the Restaurant Business - An analysis by Yusuf Dhanani

By Yusuf Razak Dhanani : Before technology became a part of restaurants, guests would come to a restaurant, sit wherever there was a free table, order food, the waiter would take down the order on a notepad, serve food, guest would eat, pay and leave.  But now, with technology, the guest's experience is as completely changed as that of chefs, servers and owners, due to a change in technology in the kitchen. Now, with modern kitchen display screens and staffing technology, you can get data-centric insights into what's working well for your restaurant and what's not. This is where technology is making its big impact in the restaurant industry--how guests dine and what pleases them and what doesn't. 

Should you invest in the real estate in tier-2 cities? Yusuf Dhanani Answers

By Yusuf Razak Dhanani: We have a craze for owning a house. The house would generate income if rented, would save on rents if lived in and would also multiply if held for a long time. Investment in real estate had seen some stagnation in the past few years. But the trend has shifted to the tier-2 cities.

Tier -2 cities are the non-cosmopolitan cities. These cities have scope for growth and development. With the big IT companies having their offices and branches in these cities, the migration to the tier -1 cities has been controlled. This has resulted in the real estate business in these cities having good opportunities.



Reasons for investing in Tier-2 cities:

Low property costs
The low property costs in the tier-2 cities and suburbs have been the major reason for the increase in the real estate investment by big players. The big players can utilize their expertise and training and other existing resources in these cities and earn more profits. Further, the lower property costs also make it affordable for the people to invest in. Hence the projects are profitable always.

Government’s focus on smart cities
With the concept of smart city in force, the focus of the Government is more directed towards these tier- 2 cities. The Government has announced allotment of many houses under different schemes. There has also been a rise in the affordable housing schemes by the Government. The real estate business in these cities would definitely soar to new heights.

Lower cost of living
The cost of living in the tier- 2 cities is lower when compared to the cosmopolitan cities. With more job and business opportunities in these cities, the migration of people from these cities has been put under check. Ultimately, the people are looking forward to buying their own houses and living in these cities only.

However, one still has to be careful while selecting the tier- 2 city for the investment in real estate. The tier-2 city should be an emerging one so that it has the advantages of price and growth potentials. A look at the list of 100 smart cities would give a better idea for the investment.
