HOSPITALITY ARCHITECTURE

Grounded in `KitchenOrderTicketController` & Table Management

Built to keep the dining floor, the cocktail bar, and the hot kitchen in complete synchronization.

Multi-Station Kitchen Order Tickets

When an order is entered, Tracepos automatically parses items and routes them to the appropriate preparation stations: food tickets to the Main Kitchen display, drink orders to the Bar KDS, and grilled proteins to the BBQ line.

  • Departmental KOT routing (`restaurant/kots/{dept}`)
  • Color-coded preparation timer alerts
  • Thermal kitchen receipt printing fallback

Interactive Floor Plans & Table Management

Design your restaurant layout visually: Dining Hall, VIP Lounge, Terrace, and Outdoor Patio. Table colors indicate real-time status: Green (Available), Red (Occupied/Dining), Yellow (Bill Requested).

  • Real-time table status endpoint (`restaurant/tables`)
  • Table transfer and guest merging
  • Table turn-time and occupancy analytics

Tableside Waiter Mobile Tablets

Equip floor staff with Android tablets or smartphones. Waiters take orders right at the table, add special customer cooking requests, and transmit orders straight to the kitchen without running back and forth.

  • Dedicated waiter user profiles (`restaurant/waiters`)
  • Modifiers and cooking preference notes
  • Eliminates manual handwritten order slips

Flexible Table Bill Splitting

Handle group dining effortlessly. Split the table bill equally across 5 guests, or divide by exact items consumed. Accept split payment methods: Guest A pays cash, Guest B pays card, and Guest C transfers.

  • Split by seat or split by item quantity
  • Multi-tender payment settlement
  • Individual receipts printed per paying guest

Recipe Ingredient Depletion

Link menu items to kitchen raw ingredients. When a "Seafood Jollof Rice" is sold, Tracepos automatically decrements rice, prawns, cooking oil, and seasoning cubes from kitchen inventory, preventing chef theft.

  • Recipe Bill of Materials (BOM) linkage
  • Kitchen food cost variance reports
  • Bar spirit & beverage dispenser tracking

Takeaway & Dispatch Rider Tracking

Manage phone-in, walk-in takeaway, and dispatch delivery orders alongside dine-in guests. Track rider assignments, packing statuses, and delivery cash collections without confusion.

  • Dedicated takeaway ticket queue
  • Dispatch rider cash reconciliation
  • Customer contact & address delivery logs
CASE STUDY: CASUAL DINING & COCKTAIL LOUNGE

"How Multi-Station KDS Routing Cut Our Food Preparation Time from 35 to 14 Minutes"

"Operating a busy 120-seat lounge and restaurant in Victoria Island used to be chaotic on Friday nights. Waiters ran around with handwritten order papers, the bar was constantly missing drink orders, and guests waited 40 minutes for food. Tracepos's Kitchen Order Ticket system transformed our service. Now, waiters send orders from tablets at the table. Drinks appear instantly on the bar screen, while grill items hit the outdoor kitchen. Our average guest order turnaround dropped to 14 minutes."
