Can waiters take orders on tablets?

Yes. Because DAXTOP runs in the browser, any tablet or handheld becomes a waiter terminal — no dedicated hardware required. Waiters take orders at the table, with modifiers and course timing, and the order fires to the kitchen the moment it is confirmed, cutting the walk back to a fixed terminal out of every order.

Every device shares the same live system: the counter terminal, the tablets on the floor, the kitchen screens, and the back office all see the same orders and tables in real time. A tablet order and a counter order land in the same prioritized kitchen queue.

Speed where it counts

Tableside ordering shortens the order-to-kitchen path, reduces transcription mistakes from paper pads, and frees staff during the rush — one of the simplest service-speed upgrades a full-service restaurant can make.

Hardware that makes sense

Any modern tablet works — waiters need a browser, not a proprietary handheld. Most venues buy mid-range Android tablets with rugged cases and a charging shelf at the service station; a device that breaks is replaced for the cost of a few covers, not a POS vendor's hardware invoice.

Battery and Wi-Fi are the real operational details: plan charging rotation for double shifts, and make sure Wi-Fi covers the terrace before summer does. If the connection drops mid-service, DAXTOP's offline handling keeps orders flowing and syncs when coverage returns.
