Who it is for
UK takeaways and fast-food chains
The case studies show a five-site takeaway chain using kitchen displays and driver management, and a six-site burger chain using kiosks and online ordering.
Restaurants that want to start small and add modules
The vendor says customers can start with one product, such as online ordering, and add hardware and kitchen tools later.
Venues that want to avoid delivery-platform commission
The vendor says its online ordering module charges a subscription and no commission on orders, although transaction fees apply to online paid orders.
Fine dining and table-service restaurants
Handheld terminals support table status, course management and moving orders between tables.
What it does
