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.

A hand sets a plated duck dish on a wooden table, diners behind.

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.
Screen placement in an L-shaped kitchen An overhead floor plan. The room is an L: a wide upper section with a narrower wing running down on the left. Four filled rectangles mark screens — two along the top wall, one on the inner wall of the right-hand section, and one on the bottom wall of the wing where the plates go out.
If your grill, sauté and expo are separate screens, that is three, plus one where the plates go out.

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.

PLACEHOLDER TESTIMONIAL — NOT A REAL CUSTOMER

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.
