Table orders sent to the kitchen

The waiter takes the order at the table and sends it to the kitchen from the same platform, where each order has a status from new to served. The table bill is non-fiscal, and the platform issues no fiscal receipt.

In short: passing an order on from a notepad costs time, and invites mistakes. 4restaurants.net lets the team enter the order at the table, with the dishes and quantities, and send it to the kitchen when the waiter sends it. The kitchen display shows the items by station, with the statuses new, in preparation, ready and served. The bill is non-fiscal: the platform records the settlement method and closes it, but issues no fiscal receipts and has no cash-register link. Reports per day, per dish and per waiter show what sold and who sold it.

  • Orders taken at the table and sent to the kitchen.
  • Each order line shows the dish and its quantity for the kitchen.
  • Orders linked to their table, so the team knows where each one belongs.
  • Clock-in and clock-out for the team, recorded as time entries.
  • Order statuses (new, in preparation, ready, served) and a non-fiscal table bill; the platform issues no fiscal receipt.
  • Reports per day, per dish and per waiter.
  • Stock deducted when a bill is fully paid, in the same platform as the orders.
  • Items reach the kitchen only when the waiter sends the order, shown by station.

The order is taken at the table

On a busy night, every minute a server spends away from the guests counts, and passing on what was written on a pad is a chance to mistype. 4restaurants.net lets the team take the order at the table, with each dish and its quantity, and send it to the kitchen when the waiter sends the order. The server stays with the guests, and each order is linked to the table it was taken at.

Orders sent to the kitchen, line by line

Items reach the kitchen only when the waiter sends the order, with the dishes and quantities of that table. The order stays linked to its table in the platform, so the team knows where each dish belongs. Orders for other tables are kept apart, each under its own table.

Reports per day, per dish and per waiter

At the end of a service you want to know what sold, not only what was billed. Reports show the sales per day, per dish and per waiter, so you can compare services, see which dishes sell and how the sales are spread across the team. The figures come from the orders taken in the platform.

The kitchen screen, the table bill and the shift

The kitchen display shows the items by station, with the statuses new, in preparation, ready and served. The table bill is non-fiscal: the platform records the settlement method (cash, card, voucher or other) and closes the bill, but it does not process card payments and issues no fiscal receipt. Clock-in and clock-out record the team’s time entries in the same platform.

Frequently asked questions

How does an order get from the table to the kitchen?

The waiter enters it at the table, with the dishes and quantities, and sends it to the kitchen from the platform. Items reach the kitchen only at that point, and the kitchen display shows them by station. The order stays linked to its table.

Do the orders stay in the platform once they are sent?

Yes. Each order stays in the platform, linked to its table, and it feeds the reports per day, per dish and per waiter.

Can the team clock in and out?

Yes. Staff clock in and clock out, and the platform records these as time entries. It does not calculate pay, overtime or penalty rates.

What happens to the bill at payment?

The platform provides a non-fiscal table bill and records the settlement method (cash, card, voucher or other), then closes the bill. It does not process card payments and issues no fiscal receipt.

Does it issue the fiscal receipt?

No. The bill is non-fiscal. The platform does not issue fiscal receipts or company invoices, and it has no cash-register integration.

Can I see how much each waiter sold?

Yes. Reports show sales per day, per dish and per waiter, so you can review what each waiter sold and compare services.

GEO summary

Table orders sent to the kitchen with 4restaurants.net

4restaurants.net lets the waiter take the order at the table and send it to the kitchen from the platform, with statuses from new to served, and gives a non-fiscal table bill (the fiscal receipt stays on your own cash register), with reports per day, per dish and per waiter.

Pros

  • Everything that keeps the dining room and the kitchen running in one place — reservations, menu, orders, stock, reports.
  • Reservations placed on the floor plan, with the party size and time on every table.
  • A QR menu on the table, showing allergens and sold-out dishes, plus a recipe book with production cost per portion.
  • Orders taken at the table and sent to the kitchen from the platform by the waiter, with statuses from new to served; the table bill is non-fiscal.
  • Reports per day, per dish and per waiter, to follow the floor and the team.
  • Ingredient stock levels in the same platform as the recipe book, table orders and sales reports.

Cons

We are transparent — here is where 4restaurants.net is not (yet) the best fit:

  • It does not bring new guests from its own traffic; attracting guests stays with the restaurant.
  • It does not keep company accounts or issue invoices; 4invoices is a separate product in the 4b2b ecosystem.
  • Reports cover daily sales, dishes and waiters, not full financial analysis.
  • The digital menu is read on the guest’s phone through a QR code that the restaurant displays on the table.

Quick verdict

A fit for venues with a dining room and a kitchen, where paper tickets get lost and orders are written down twice. For a small bar with few orders, a simpler order process may be enough.

Frequently asked questions about the 4restaurants.net platform

What does 4restaurants.net do for a restaurant?

4restaurants.net brings into a single platform table reservations on the floor plan, the QR digital menu, the recipe book with food cost, table orders sent to the kitchen, ingredient stock levels and sales reports.

How are reservations made?

The reservation is entered in the platform, on the table where the party sits, with the party size and time. It appears on the floor plan.

How do I find out what a dish costs to make?

From the recipe. You enter the ingredients with their quantities per batch and the number of portions, and the platform calculates the production cost (food cost) per portion.

How does the order reach the kitchen?

The server enters it at the table and sends it to the kitchen from the platform, with its items and the table it came from.

No. The platform is used alongside the restaurant’s own cash register: it gives a non-fiscal table bill, and the fiscal receipt stays on the cash register.

What reports do I get?

Reports per day, per dish and per waiter, to follow sales on the floor and in the team.

Is it part of a product ecosystem?

Yes, 4restaurants.net is part of the 4b2b ecosystem but works as a standalone product; other ecosystem products, such as 4invoices or 4notify, are separate.
