# Every channel a guest can order through

Five surfaces, one kitchen. All of them are web pages; guests install nothing, staff open a tab.

At the table

## QR ordering from the guest's phone

A card on the table, a scan, the menu. The order goes straight to the kitchen; the table is known because the code says so, not because the guest typed it.

- **Shared ordering.** One code per table, many phones. Seats are anonymous, Guest A, Guest B, and everyone sees the same running order. You remove only your own lines.
- **Pay first.** For counter-style places: the guest composes on the phone, the order is placed the moment it is paid, at the kiosk or with staff.
- **Call the waiter, keep ordering.** Guests can order more until the table is settled.
- **Pre-order on the way.** Now, in fifteen, in thirty, or at a time. The kitchen sees the arrival time.
- **Eleven languages.** German, English, Polish, Ukrainian, Dutch, French, Flemish, Turkish, Czech, Hungarian, Arabic. Prices always in Latin digits so they match the printed menu.
- **Switches per location.** In-app payment, waiter call, cash, pre-order. Off means the button is gone and the endpoint is closed.

At the counter

## Self-order kiosk

Any tablet or touch screen in a browser. Set it up with a code from your cockpit; no technician, no app store.

- **Picture menu** with categories, options, sides and sizes.
- **Promotions priced on the server.** Combos, tiers, happy hour, "you save" lines. The kiosk shows, it never calculates.
- **Reach mode, on every plan.** A wheelchair icon moves the controls to the bottom of the screen. Full keyboard flow, high-contrast focus ring. Accessibility is not a paid feature.
- **Phone remote.** Guests pair their own phone with a QR or eight-digit code and use their own screen reader, magnification or switch control. Only key presses and a focus label travel; never amounts, never personal data.
- **Attract screen** with your own video or images. Branding per device from the server.
- **Never logs out.** Network or server trouble means waiting and retrying. Only a revoked key sends the device back to setup.

*Attract screen with the restaurant's own video and the language row.*

At the pass

## Kitchen display and pickup screen

Tickets appear the moment they are ordered, sorted by station. A second screen in the dining room calls the number.

- **Station routing** by product group: cold kitchen, grill, bar. Mark items and tickets done, undo if needed.
- **Unpaid pre-orders** are greyed out with the arrival time and sort into place when the guest arrives.
- **Pickup screen** shows "preparing" and "ready" with order numbers only. No names, no amounts.
- **Three modes:** split, preparing only, ready only. Optional third column for a muted promo video.
- **Set up with a PIN** from your cockpit, on any monitor with a browser.

*Five tickets just in, each routed to bar, cold kitchen or grill. The kitchen display speaks the kitchen's language; this one is set to German.*

![The pickup screen: order numbers 456 to 460 under the heading In preparation, an empty Ready column on the right.](https://order-station.com/images/product/pickup.webp)

*The pickup screen in the dining room. Numbers only, never names.*

On the floor

## Waiter app

A web app your team installs on their own phones. Every action is tied to the person on shift.

- **Table overview** by area, colours by order status, live within seconds.
- **Quick entry** at the table: three-level menu, list or tiles, search across everything, modifiers, eat-in or take-away.
- **Waiter calls** light up the table tile. Guests keep ordering until you settle.
- **Checkout by order code.** QR or eight digits, scanned at the register. Split checkout leaves the rest open.
- **Shift login with a PIN**, seat breakdown of who ordered what, hand out a table QR from the app.

Outside

## Hosted menu

Your menu as a website, on your own domain, from the same data the kiosk and the table use. Pro plan.

- **Menu designer** with nine presets from pizzeria to festival, live preview, contrast warnings, publish with one click.
- **Three levels of QR.** Read the menu, order from the house code, order from a table code with the table pre-set and verified by the server.
- **QR generator** for print: pick the level, colours and logo, export a series as PDF.
- **Menu in AR (beta).** Guests point the camera at the printed menu, tap a dish, and it lands in the cart.
- **Digital receipts** guests can find again later, with a code and no PIN.

*The same renderer serves the hosted menu, the table code and the kiosk: one design, three doors.*

The line we draw

## What we leave to your point of sale

We take orders. Fiscal receipts, card terminals and cash drawers belong to a point of sale, and we connect to yours instead of pretending to be one.

On the Free plan there is no checkout at all: guests order, the kitchen cooks, you settle the way you do today. Grow adds checkout, payment and tips through card terminals (ZVT) and providers such as Viva.com, Payone and Nexi. Enterprise connects the waiter app's order code to your register and fiscal provider, so the receipt is theirs and the order is ours.

This is deliberate. A system that does one thing well is easier to trust with the dinner rush than one that does everything adequately.
