How it works

Simple 4-Step Request Flow

From guest tap to waiter response — in under 10 seconds.

1
Guest Scans QR

Each table has a unique QR code. Guests scan it instantly with their phone camera — no app download or login needed.

2
Select Request Type

Choose from bill, water refill, call waiter, extra cutlery, clean table or a custom request — all with a single tap.

3
Waiter Notified

Staff receive an instant alert — sound, vibration and visual pop-up — showing table number, request type and priority level.

4
Request Attended

Waiter marks the request as attended. The system logs response time and the guest sees a confirmation instantly.

Waiter Request Process Flow

Request Options

Every Type of Guest Need Covered

Comprehensive request types for any dining scenario — fully customisable on paid plans.

Bill Request

Priority alert for checkout — speeds up table turnover without any awkward waving.

General assistance request — gets a staff member to the table right away.

Water Refill

Quick request for water top-up — handled in seconds without interrupting service flow.

Extra Cutlery

Request additional plates, forks, spoons or napkins with one tap.

Report Issue

High-priority alert for complaints — escalated to a manager instantly.

Custom Request

Live Display

A Waiter Display That Staff Actually Use

The live request board shows every open, pending and completed request in one clear interface. Staff respond from any device — phone, tablet or wall-mounted screen.

Works on Any Device

Phones, tablets and desktops all receive alerts simultaneously. No per-device fees.

Sound & Visual Alerts

Customisable audio and on-screen pop-ups ensure staff never miss a request even in busy kitchens.

Colour-Coded Priority

Red for new, amber for pending, green for done — staff know exactly what needs attention at a glance.
