The order screen waiters use when the shift is fast and mistakes are costly

“Which order screen is best?” is not a brand list. It is the screen a waiter can use at the table, standing, with one hand. Pick the item, write the note, send. The kitchen ticket hits the station at that moment. An order typed later from memory is the mistake.

What happens on the screen

The order ends at the table and starts in the kitchen.

• Tables are split by state: empty, open, served, bill requested.
• The note prints under the item on the kitchen ticket. “No onion” does not stay in memory.
• Food goes to the kitchen printer, drinks to the bar printer.
• Asking for the bill paints the table the same colour on the till. The waiter screen does not take the money.
• Sign-in is a PIN. A void is written to that PIN’s owner.

Phone, tablet or computer is the same browser. Nothing is installed. The rest of cutting mistakes is in order errors on a busy shift. Why the ticket prints then is in the kitchen ticket.

Where to get it

A café order system opens with sign-up. The trial is 14 days. Plan differences are on the pricing page. There is no setup fee. If a payment is late, orders, the QR menu and tickets stay open.

Frequently asked questions

Is a waiter order system a separate device?

No. The phone or tablet already in hand is enough. The printer stays in the kitchen.

Is café POS software the same as the order system?

In speech, both mean the till. Here the POS is the order and payment screen. The bank’s card device is separate; its commission is separated in card commission rates.

Conclusion

A fast screen has few taps and prints the ticket immediately. See the flow on how it works.
