Foundation · Food & hospitality

From table to kitchen, without a paper ticket.

A digital menu customers order from at the table or for takeout, a kitchen screen that replaces paper tickets, live order status for the customer, and an admin that shows what is selling and when.

Order ahead, pay at pickup, no queue at the counter.

For

Events & catering

Large groups, each guest’s order kept separate.

How it fits together

One system, every side of the counter.

Every screen, step by step.

These screens are interactive: tap the badges, buttons and tabs to see how they behave.

01
Entry point

Start with a table or takeout

Questions

Asked often.

Do guests need to download an app?

Not to order: they scan the code and order in seconds. Regulars can install your restaurant’s app on Android or iPhone in one tap, and we can supply an Android APK too.

What does the kitchen need?

Any tablet, laptop or TV with a web browser. Most kitchens use one tablet per station.

Can it handle more than one branch?

Yes. Each branch gets its own live order board; you see them all from the admin, as we built for Total Blend’s two branches.

Can I change the menu myself?

Yes, at any time from the admin, including marking dishes sold out mid-service.
