Tableside ordering lets servers at a Chinese restaurant enter orders and close checks at the table on a handheld.
For a Chinese restaurant, the detail that matters is this: phone staff, kitchen and drivers each need something different from the system: orders to the wok, a name on a ticket and a way to get paid at the door.
Items and modifiers are entered at the table.
The ticket fires to the right station immediately.
Rounds and desserts are added without a trip to the register.
The guest pays and tips on the handheld.
A Chinese restaurant that adds tableside ordering usually sees the first change in how quickly tables turn, not in the menu.
The walk to the register is the slowest part of table service. A server who can enter a round, fire it and close the check on the spot spends more time on the floor and the table turns sooner.
Cards and cash, with phone orders paid at pickup or by card over the phone. Tips on delivery are collected by drivers.
