Waiter tablet · Add-on
Take the order at the table. See who is calling.
One shared tablet for the floor. Each waiter unlocks it with their own PIN, takes the order at the table, and sees the moment a guest taps Call waiter or Bill please on the table's QR menu.
One tablet, many waiters
Pair a tablet once with a six-digit code. Any waiter of that branch unlocks it with their own PIN, and every order is recorded under the waiter who took it.
Tables that call
Guests tap Call waiter or Bill please on the menu from their table's QR code. The table flashes on every waiter's floor with a chime until someone taps Done.
Locks itself
Lock it when you hand it over, or leave it: after three idle minutes it goes back to the PIN pad, so nobody takes an order under somebody else's name.
Only people who take orders
A PIN opens the tablet only for staff whose role can take orders, and every PIN is unique in the café. Wrong PINs are limited.
Unpair it and it is out
Unpair a lost tablet from Devices and whoever was signed in on it is signed out at once. The tablet never holds a password.
No back office on the floor
The tablet opens the floor, the till, orders, tables and the kitchen — never settings, reports or the books.
Set it up in five minutes
- 1Ask for the Waiter tablet add-on from Subscription in your account — one per tablet.
- 2On the tablet, open the waiter address and add /waiter-tablet. It shows a six-digit code.
- 3In the back office, open Devices, enter the code and give the tablet a name.
- 4Each waiter taps their PIN. The floor opens, and tables calling appear at the top.
- 5Print your table QR codes from Table QR codes, so guests can call from their table.
Can several waiters share one tablet?
Yes. One waiter is signed in at a time: lock it and the next waiter taps their PIN. Several tablets can run at once, and a table calling shows on all of them.
Do guests need an app to call a waiter?
No. They scan the QR code on their table with the phone camera and tap Call waiter or Bill please on the menu.
What if two staff have the same PIN?
They cannot: a PIN another active staff member uses is refused when staff are saved, and the Team page marks any old clash so a manager can fix it.
Is the waiter tablet part of the plan?
It is an add-on, sold per tablet, on any plan with the till and tables. Ask for it from Subscription and our team confirms the price.
