Kitchen display system that helps control the service

Yes Please

What do you know about what happens after the waiter takes an order from you? Although the order is sent digitally it is still received in the kitchen on a paper ticket. In fact, any changes about a table that has already been printed will be added manually with a marker on the paper ticket.

The Problem

Chefs fail to deliver service in the smoothest and most efficient way

Reason
Lack of essential information
Times and changes - chefs don’t have access to this information and need to ask it from the floor staff.
Reason
Paper based work method
Precious time is wasted on searching, reading, counting and arranging.

Consequences

Valuable time is wasted on preparing the wrong dishes and correcting mistakes

User research & observations

Oh, my pain point

“The floor staff talked to me a lot during the service. Ask questions, requests, explanations. Every time it happens I lose concentration and it drives me crazy, especially during peak time.”
“When I need to know something about a table I have to ask one of the managers or someone outside the kitchen to check on their tablet. How much time from FIRE, on which tables we are working, etc.”
Plenty of time is wasted searching for the right ticket, searching for errors and how many dishes should go out next.
Lots of information to process in a stressful work environment.
