No pagers to buy, charge or lose

A restaurant pager system on your guests' own phones.

Guests order at the counter, by QR code, at a kiosk or online and get a number. When the kitchen marks the order ready, their phone shows it in big letters with a vibration or sound, and your 'Ready to collect' TV calls the number with a chime.

  • No app: it opens in the browser
  • As many 'Ready to collect' screens as you like
  • Included in the plan at $9 a month

Everything a pager does, without the pagers

Numbers, not plastic

Every order gets a short number like C-041, whether it comes from the counter, a table QR code, the kiosk or a pickup order.

The phone calls the guest

When the order is ready, its page turns green with the number in big letters. Android phones vibrate; after a tap on 'Alert me' every phone plays a sound and keeps its screen on.

A 'Ready to collect' screen

Any TV with a browser shows ready numbers in blue and those still cooking in grey, with a chime for each new one.

One tap in the kitchen

Cooks mark a ticket ready on the kitchen screen; the counter, the guest and the TV know within a second.

Nothing to clean, charge or lose

No pagers leaving with guests, no charging base, no batteries, nothing to wipe down between guests.

No range limit

Guests can wait on the terrace, take a walk or sit in the car: the page works wherever the phone has data.

How it works

  1. 1

    Switch on order numbers

    Under Tables & QR, turn on 'Counter with order numbers' and put the counter QR code next to your till.

  2. 2

    Pair a TV

    Open menuseum.com/tv on a smart TV, a Fire TV stick or an old laptop and type its code under TV screens.

  3. 3

    Call numbers with one tap

    The kitchen or the counter marks an order ready; the guest's phone and the screen update at once.

Honest limits: guests without a smartphone watch the screen or hear their number called, and an iPhone can't vibrate from a web page, so it plays a sound once the guest taps 'Alert me'. Some venues keep a few pagers for these cases.

Frequently asked questions

Do guests need an app?

No. After ordering or paying, the order page opens in the browser with the number. Nothing to install.

What about guests without a smartphone?

Print the number on a slip with a receipt printer and point them to the screen, or call the number out.

Does the phone vibrate on an iPhone?

Web pages can't make an iPhone vibrate. After the guest taps 'Alert me', the page plays a sound and keeps the screen on until the order is ready. Android phones also vibrate.

Can I keep my pagers?

Yes. Numbers, the guest page and the screen work alongside them.

What does it cost?

Order numbers, the guest page and unlimited TV screens are part of the plan at $9 a month per location, with 0% commission.
