A waiter ordering system that sends the order while the server is still at the table
A waiter ordering system lets servers enter an order at the table on a handheld device instead of writing it down and keying it in later. In Restovax the order is saved as it is built and fired straight to the Kitchen Display System or a printed ticket, so the kitchen starts sooner and the re-keying step where items get dropped or mis-charged is gone.
The problem this solves
The pad-and-terminal method has two failure points: the handwriting the kitchen has to read, and the second entry at a shared terminal that a busy server rushes or forgets. Both cost time and both cause wrong tickets.
What Restovax does here
- Order entry at the table on any phone or tablet
- Items, modifiers, course timing and notes captured once
- The order fires to the KDS or a kitchen ticket immediately
- Later additions to a table arrive as a new run, not a reprint
- Every order is tied to the table and the server who took it

How it works
-
1
Open the table
The server selects the table from the floor plan on their device.
-
2
Take the order at the table
Items and modifiers are entered while talking to the guest, with course timing set as needed.
-
3
Fire it
Sending the order routes it to the kitchen straight away — no trip to a terminal.
-
4
Add rounds as they come
Extra drinks or courses added later print or display as a separate run.
What changes for the business
The kitchen starts a table sooner
Fewer dropped items and wrong charges from re-keying
Servers spend more time on the floor, less at a terminal
