Challenges in your venue
Today’s menu on your website and on the screen in your venue.
Rewriting daily specials in several places every day takes time. In WP InPlate you change the offer once, and the current dishes can appear both on your website and on the screen by the till.
Rewriting the menu every day
A note at the entrance, a social media post and a board by the till. When you update each one separately, they easily stop matching.
Late orders
When a company orders 15 lunches at 11:50, the kitchen may not manage to prepare them for the chosen time.
A crowd at the till at noon
At 12:00, lots of people come for lunch at the same time. Orders placed in advance can ease the crowd at the counter.
Yesterday’s soup on the menu
Someone orders a dish that isn’t available today because nobody took it off the website.
