Quick Casual Paging - Key Call Transmitter Need more information? Why LRS?

The quick-casual market is broken into two segments: those that deliver food to the table and those that call the customer to pick up their order.  Key Call TX addresses the segment of the market delivering food orders to tables.  The major concern of quick casual has always been trying to locate tables quickly so food orders are served at the proper temperature. Key Call TX helps eliminate the confusion of locating tables allowing runners to know exactly where to deliver the order ensuring a quick and accurate delivery.

OPERATION

The operation of Key Call is simple:

  1. Customer places order at the counter which starts a timer
  2. Customer is given an order “Key”
  3. When the customer selects his/her table, they insert the key into the Key Call unit
  4. A signal is sent back to the kitchen indicating where to deliver the order
  5. When order is ready, runner looks at the screen and goes to that table
  6. The key is collected and brought back to the kitchen to stop the timer

Orders are displayed on the screen with order number, table number and elapsed time. As time increases, the order changes colours making it easy to pick out late orders. If an order exceeds the programmed time, the manager is paged immediately with order number and table.

REPORTING

The best feature of Key Call TX is that the manager can generate daily reports showing food delivery times. Each report can further be broken down by hour or minute showing precise timing for each dining interval. The report will show average delivery time, as well as, how many times a manger was paged.
