Digital pager
Instead of plastic buzzers, your guest's phone is the pager, and it tells them the moment their order is ready.
Instead of handing your guest a buzzing plastic disc, you send them an instant alert the moment their order is ready, so they can wait anywhere nearby instead of standing by the counter. No device to carry, no range limit, no batteries.
How it works
- The guest starts their own pager. They scan the self-pager code at the counter or on the table, then scan their bill, and their order appears on your board without any staff involvement. You can also open a pager yourself with the order number or the guest’s phone number.
- They follow their order on their phone. Their order number and its status, step by step: received, preparing, ready for pickup.
- You call them when it’s ready. One tap on “Notify guest” and their phone shows “Order ready”. If they’re late, call them again with one tap, or send a WhatsApp or SMS message.
- The order closes. The guest taps “I collected my order”, or you close it from your board, and the history is saved automatically.
Why a digital pager
- No devices to lose, break or charge.
- No cap on how many guests can wait because you ran out of pagers. Everyone gets their alert on their own phone.
- App and browser alerts are free and unlimited; WhatsApp and SMS messages come from your plan’s allowance.
- Works with or without the queue.
With table time
If the guest is seated at a table, link their order to it and the table time clock starts by itself when the order is ready.
