Order at table send to kitchen app

Everything is dirty. It's in the nature of things. Wash your hands afterwards, as you should do before eating anyway.

I'm glad you like them. I won't be touching them.

Not bad if you want to cut out the human element entirely. I've been impressed with the new touch-screen menu thingies in McDonalds too - largely they work as you'd expect unlike for instance self-serve supermarket checkouts.

The First lounge at LHR T5 has a similar thing. Their QR codes include the table number so there's no risk of a typo. In some ways the order by app and table service is better but in other ways, it's annoying because you can't select just the sandwiches you like from the afternoon tea selection. It's also a bit discriminatory against folk who don't have smartphones.

I agree with this. Therefore, you should use Asana which has plenty of checklists and features (such as editing orders or adding customization) that update in real time. It's a good project management tool, not just for restaurants, but also for all kinds of businesses.

However, if you want one for restaurant staff specifically, then I suggest BevSpot because it also takes into account your kitchen and bar inventory. I've also had a good experience with Chowly. It's a combination of third-party ordering platforms like Grubhub with a traditional P.O.S. system.

Here's a website that has more productivity apps for your restaurant.

Please don't 'help' any of my local small restaurants like this.

A restaurant near me has this set up.
On each table is a QR code, scan this and it takes you to a website, put in your table number and then order your food and pay.
It works really well.
I believe they use this: https://www.omnifi.co.uk/

I spent a good 30s trying to scan into a bar with the test'n'trace app the other week, before realising it was a QR code for something like that

Vacuum tubes!

Two cups and a bit of string?

It seems the problem is people having to traipse upstairs/downstairs with tickets.
So could we find a simpler way to remove that step like an intercom/couple of walkie-talkies? Keep the same low-tech process they already know...
