Let’s Dive Deeper

TouchBistro allows you to customize your menu to the point of even adding cooking instructions per item. Custom modifiers are also added so that you can pinpoint exactly what the customer orders with their preferences. The features offered will keep track of daily specials and even automatically remove items that are out of stock. Inventory control to the level of small ingredients used, will give you a clear indication of costs and also warn you when you are running out of certain items.

Customized and personalized staff profiles are created to keep track of where staff members are assigned, their productivity track record, how much overtime they have worked, what time they logged in and out, even how much they have earned in tips. Customize permission for staff to access specific levels of the system according to their position. Mobile devices allow your staff to be more effective and reduce errors when taking orders and making changes. Full control of staff management is at your fingertips with TouchBistro.

Manage your tables and reservations directly from your iPad. You can add and delete seats and move entire tables when necessary. Organize your table seating according to your reservations and have all the staff fully aware of the floor plan. You can customize your floor plan to match your bar area and seating area with the design of your establishment. Having a multi-level floor plan makes it easy to combine tickets from the bar and transfer them over to the dining area so that the customer is charged with one invoice.

Instead of the usual printing of tickets, get a KDS, kitchen display system to empower you chefs in the kitchen. The KDS will display a color coded timestamp so the kitchen staff will know how long the customers have been waiting and also be able to track cooking times by tapping the system. This will allow the staff to close off chits as orders are sent out giving them full control and the efficiency to handle incoming orders.

For restaurants who want to reduce waiting staff and give their customers the ability to place orders themselves there is the TouchBistro Kiosk. Apart from reducing labor costs this method will allow customers to decide and order what they want in record time and the orders will be sent wirelessly to the kitchen. It is surprising to note that customers will order more this way. Self-ordering is a way of getting the customer involved with the whole process and eliminating any mistakes with the orders.
