Tables, courses and a kitchen that has to time them.
Full service asks more of a kitchen screen than a counter does. Here is what is in the product today, and the honest note about what is not.
What matters here
The parts of the product that do this work.
- If an appetiser has to land before a main does
- Hold an order to a timer or to a clock time, and release it early by hand when the table is ready.
- If one table's ticket arrives as two
- Split one ticket into two, or merge two into one.
- If grill, sauté and expo are separate screens
- Route by station, so prep, grill and expo each see only their own work, and send an order forward when your part is done.
- If a table's ticket and a take-out ticket should not turn red at the same pace
- Timers change colour on your own thresholds, per order type, and the colours are colourblind-safe.
- If your servers mark allergies on the ticket
- Allergen highlighting is automatic, on every plan, and it cannot be switched off. It is a safety feature and we do not charge for those.

From the pass
What an operator on this kind of line would say.
We have no customers yet, so nobody has said this. The block below is a placeholder at the real size of the quote that replaces it.
This person does not exist and nobody said these words. MiniRestaurants has no customers yet. This block is here so the page can be built, reviewed and laid out at its real size; it is replaced by a real operator, quoted with consent on file, or it is deleted before this site is opened to search engines.
Courses were the thing we could never keep straight on paper. Grill sees grill, expo sees the whole table, and the plates stop arriving at the wrong moment. That is the part my floor staff actually noticed.
