From the table to the pass

A restaurant ordering system where QR orders, the waiter pad and the kitchen board share one ticket. Every choice, allergy and note reaches the pass the way the guest asked for it.

  1. 12:15

    A guest scans the QR code on table 6 and orders lunch. The ticket goes straight to the kitchen board.

  2. 20:15

    The waiter takes table 12's order on a phone: starters fired, mains held, the nut allergy in red on the ticket.

  3. 20:40

    The screen above the pass shows the open orders, and the oldest one is marked once it has waited longer than your target time.

01

Menus guests can order from

Build menus with categories, modifiers, allergens and photos, and publish them when they are ready. Give each menu a service window, so guests see lunch at noon and dinner at night.

  • Modifier groups and notes per dish
  • The 14 EU allergens as clear tags
  • Sold-out control per dish
  • Draft, published and archived menus

QR ordering at the table

Each table gets its own QR code. Guests order, add rounds during the meal and pay on the same page. Pre-orders linked to a booking lock at the cutoff you set.

  • Printable QR labels per table
  • Several rounds in one visit
  • Pre-orders with a cutoff time
  • Out-of-stock dishes hidden from guests

A waiter pad on any phone

Waiters take the order at the table on their own phone. They set the course and seat for each dish, add modifiers, and keep service notes apart from what the kitchen needs to read.

  • Course and seat per dish
  • Kitchen notes and service notes kept apart
  • Allergy clashes checked before adding
  • Same order flow as QR ordering
04

Kitchen display system that keeps pace

Tickets sit in lanes by status and can be filtered by station. Cooks hold and fire by course and mark dishes ready, and the floor sees what is ready to serve on the service list.

  • Hold and fire per course
  • Filter by kitchen station
  • Large tickets and a new-order sound
  • Full-screen mode for a tablet

Questions

Orders & kitchen

Does Mesa Central include a kitchen display system?

Yes. The kitchen board runs in the browser on any tablet, screen or computer. Tickets show course, modifiers, allergies and notes, and cooks move dishes on with a tap.

Can guests order and pay from a QR code?

Yes. Each table has its own QR code that opens your menu, and guests can order several rounds. When the table is linked to a booking, they can also pay and add a tip on the same page.

Does the restaurant ordering system work with our till?

Mesa Central keeps its own orders and bills. Integrations with POS systems such as Square, Toast, Clover, Lightspeed and Revel are coming soon and are validated with restaurants during the beta. Whether one is available for you depends on your POS system, your country and the connection options available.

What can the TV screens in the room show?

Big figures from a fixed set of tiles, such as open orders, orders ready to serve, bookings today, guests seated and the waitlist. A screen is paired with a code, needs nobody signed in and never shows guest names.
