The server orders at the table, and the ticket is already in the kitchen.

Garson is the app for the server’s phone. What they tap at the table shows up on the kitchen display and on the table bill on the till.

Every trip to the till costs you a round.

There are twelve tables on the terrace, and the till is inside. Without Garson every order means writing it down, walking in, typing it up. With Garson the server orders at the table and only walks with the plates.

How it works.

  1. 1

    Choose a table

    The server taps the table, and it’s the same plan as on the till.

  2. 2

    Order in rounds

    First the drinks, then the food, all on the same table bill.

  3. 3

    Send

    One tap, and the kitchen has the ticket. The server stays at the table and takes the next order right away.

One floor plan for everyone.

Garson, the till and reservations all work from the same plan in the Management dashboard.

Your dining room, drawn once.

In the Management dashboard you draw your dining room with tables and seats. Garson shows the server the same tables and whatever is still open at each one.

Questions about Garson

All questions

Do my staff need expensive devices?
No. An affordable Android phone is enough, Garson doesn’t need more.
What happens if the Wi-Fi on the terrace is weak?
The server keeps tapping. The order stays on the phone and goes out as soon as the network is back.
Does the till see what was ordered at the table?
Yes. Garson writes to the same table bill, and the till settles it at the end.
