Serve faster, without rushing guests

Faster service does not mean hurrying guests: it means removing needless waits — the order that takes long, the dish waiting at the pass, the bill that does not come.

01

Take the order at the table

An order entered at the table on a tablet or a phone goes straight to the kitchen: no paper ticket to copy, no misreading.

02

Send each dish to the right station

The bar gets the drinks, the kitchen the dishes, each on its own screen. Each station sees its waiting time and can organise itself.

03

See every table’s time

A table waiting too long should stand out at a glance. A colour code from green to red is enough to know where to go.

04

Tell the room when it is ready

A ready dish waiting at the pass gets cold. A “ready to serve” signal to the waiters shortens that dead time.

05

Take payment fast

Split bills, several payment methods, paying at the table: the end of the meal must not be one more wait.

Frequently asked questions

Does table turnover hurt hospitality?

No, if you remove needless waits rather than rushing guests.

What time should a table aim for?

It depends on the kind of restaurant; set your own thresholds and follow them.

Where should I start?

With ordering at the table and tickets sent to the right station: often the quickest gains.
