The automation of social and work processes is increasing every day. Catering establishments are not left out either, this is especially noticeable when looking at the work of actively growing private fast food chains and canteens of large enterprises.
The specifics of production and a sufficient amount of funds allocated to rationalize the work of personnel are decisive in the idea of reducing the loss of staff time and achieving high standards of customer service.
Automation of any of the establishments, be it a canteen or, will help solve several eternal problems of public catering:
But the most important condition for both canteens (school and factory) and fast food enterprises is the speed of customer service, because the throughput, and ultimately the company’s profit, depends on this value.
In the case of canteens, this is also a high-quality and error-free system for working with food stamps, calculating the necessary subsidies and special meals. Naturally, a huge responsibility falls on the shoulders of the accounting department, and who, if not it, will benefit most from production automation.

Printer in the kitchen.
The program allows you to work with two independent printers: on the bar counter and in the kitchen. If a printer is selected in the kitchen, then when an order is accepted, the order will be printed on this printer. The printer should be in the kitchen. This option makes sense where dishes are prepared based on accepted orders.
Print a receipt to the customer upon delivery of the order.
When this option is enabled, the customer will receive a proforma invoice upon delivery of the order. The bill is printed on the bar counter.
Use pictures in menus
It's no secret that the sight of deliciously prepared dishes can encourage customers to place more orders. The program supports operation in electronic menu mode. In this mode, the client can not only skim the menu lines, but his appetite will be whetted by bright photographs. Photos will be displayed on the order form, when working with a client, when viewing the menu.

Personal accounting for waiters
The program allows you to keep personal records of waiters. By assigning individual passwords to waiters, you will get a complete picture at the end of the month of who works in your cafe and how.
Management reports
In the program you can obtain data on the work of waiters for the period. This will reward those waiters who took more orders. The program also allows you to obtain statistics on dishes that bring more profit or are ordered more often.
