WHAT YOU CAN DO

Take Advantage of the Order Ahead Demand

Start using DineTime’s core features right from your iPad.

Happier Guests

Delight your Guests with a Seamless Dining Experience that Removes Wasted Time

Because they placed their orders beforehand, guests simply arrive to be seated, and the order is fired to the kitchen — no “back and forth” with the server necessary.

Guests place the order before they even come to your restaurant.

The order can be fired to the kitchen from DineTime when they arrive.

Guests experience a quicker, effortless dining experience without a wait!

More Revenue

Serve More Guests to Increase Your Bottom Line

Spend less time meal pacing by allowing pre-orders to fire in the kitchen when a party is seated, allowing for faster table turns and adding more to your bottom line.

Since guests order beforehand, you save time taking their orders upon arrival.
The guest dining experience is streamlined, removing all wasted time.
Increase table turns and seat more guests, which increases revenue.

Improved Communication

Cut Time, Labor, and Mistakes with Automated and Integrated Technology

With information flowing between ConnectSmart Kitchen, DineTime, guests, and online ordering partners and your in-store POS, you keep everyone in the loop and cut out wasted time.

Push prep statuses from ConnectSmart Kitchen to DineTime, as well as in-store POS, third-party online ordering partners.
No more greasy paper tickets that get lost and misread. Push orders to the kitchen immediately, ensuring accuracy.
