Staff Pad from Manjelier

Waiter ordering app with allergy checks

Staff Pad puts the order pad on a tablet or a phone. Each waiter signs in with their own PIN, takes the table’s order and sends it to the kitchen.

What Staff Pad does.

Built for a waiter mid-service: big targets, no language switch to hunt for, and nothing lost when the Wi-Fi drops.

  • One PIN per waiter

    Tap your name and type your PIN. On a shared tablet, the next waiter takes over with one tap on their name. There is no limit on names.

  • Allergy warnings on the dish

    The pad marks any dish that clashes with the table’s allergies, and any dish with no allergen data. It warns, it never blocks. Before those lines go, it asks if the kitchen has been told.

  • The whole menu, searchable

    Search the menu or browse food and drinks. Dishes that are off tonight are marked, and a waiter you allow can take one off or put it back.

  • Sent to the kitchen

    One button sends the new lines. With Kitchen & bar they land on the kitchen screen as a ticket, with the allergies in red.

  • One table, one waiter at a time

    If another tablet has the table open, the pad says who has it and stays read-only until you take it over.

  • Nothing lost on a bad connection

    Lines that did not reach the server stay on that tablet, and the pad offers them again when the table is opened.

How it fits with the rest.

Staff Pad is an add-on. It goes on top of Bookings or the AI waiter: you need at least one of the two.

With Bookings

The pad gets a Bookings tab: the day’s list, walk-ins in a few taps with a table suggested, the room plan, and buttons to mark a party seated or a no-show. About Bookings

With the AI waiter

Waiters you give guest access can see on the pad what the table confirmed in the QR chat and who declared which allergy. How many waiters get it depends on your plan. About the AI waiter

With Kitchen & bar and Rota

The kitchen gets the tickets, and each waiter clocks in and sees their week under My shift. About Kitchen & bar

Questions.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. A waiter can register their own phone with a code sent to the email address the owner has for them. The restaurant’s tablet is registered once with the manager PIN and shared by everyone on shift.

Does the pad stop a waiter ordering a dish with an allergen?

No. It marks the dish and asks whether the kitchen has been told before the lines go. The waiter and the kitchen decide; the kitchen screen shows the allergy in red.

Is there a limit on waiters?

No. Add as many waiters as you have, each with their own name and PIN.

Who can close a table or take a dish off the menu?

You decide, waiter by waiter. A waiter without that permission cannot do it: the server refuses it.

What happens if the connection drops?

The pad says so. Lines that did not save stay on that tablet and are offered again when the table is opened, so nothing typed is lost.
