Frequently Asked Questions about Tablet Ordering

Discover how Jamezz Tablet Ordering can improve your service. From faster operations to better kitchen communication.

Tablet ordering is a digital self-service ordering system where guests order themselves using tablets placed on or attached to tables. Guests browse the menu on the tablet, add products to their cart, and order directly. The order is immediately sent to the kitchen, bar, and POS system — without staff involvement.

Guests use a tablet that's placed on or attached to the table to view the digital menu, select products, and order directly. They can see allergens, add special requests, and pay immediately or settle later. The order arrives directly at the kitchen and bar, and is automatically synchronized with the POS system.

Tablet ordering increases efficiency by 30-40%, reduces wait times, boosts revenue through smart upsell suggestions, minimizes order errors, and improves guest experience. Staff no longer needs to walk back and forth to the register, giving them more time for personal attention. Orders arrive directly at the kitchen and bar, reducing turnaround time and stress.

Yes, absolutely. You can easily split bills per person, divide by item, or create custom splits. Perfect for groups wanting to pay separately. The system remembers who ordered what, making splitting quick and error-free — even for large groups.

This depends on your concept and table layout. Some venues place one tablet per table for maximum convenience, others work with one tablet per 2-3 tables that guests use at their table. For all-you-can-eat concepts, often 1 tablet per table is ideal. We're happy to help determine what works best for your situation and budget during a demo.

Yes, Jamezz integrates with all major POS systems like Lightspeed, unTill, Oracle MICROS, Mpuls Kassa, and more. Orders are automatically synchronized — no double work, everything runs seamlessly. We also integrate with kitchen printers, KDS (Kitchen Display Systems), and payment systems like Mollie, Adyen, and Stripe.

With tablet ordering, guests use a physical tablet that's placed on or attached to the table, while with QR ordering guests use their own smartphone. Both are self-service solutions. Tablet offers a larger screen experience and is ideal for all-you-can-eat, shared dining, and when guests don't need to use their smartphones. QR is more flexible for patios and outdoor locations. Both solutions can also be used alongside each other.

Tablet ordering relieves your staff enormously. Because guests order themselves, staff no longer needs to constantly take orders and walk to the register. They get more time for hospitality, clearing plates, serving drinks, and personal attention. During peak hours, this significantly reduces workload. Staff sees orders come in real-time and can provide proactive service.

Yes, Jamezz tablet ordering displays full allergen information for each product. Guests can see directly which allergens are in dishes and can set filters for their dietary preferences (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, etc.). They can also add specific requests or modifications via a notes field when ordering. This automatically reaches the kitchen, preventing misunderstandings.

Absolutely! Jamezz tablet ordering scales from small independent cafes to large restaurant chains. For small venues, it means faster service, fewer errors, and more revenue through smart upselling. The investment is low (from €49/month), setup is quick, and you get the same professional tools as large chains. No long contracts — you can cancel monthly.

In all-you-can-eat restaurants, a Jamezz tablet is placed on every table. Guests order per round via the tablet — you configure the maximum items per round, pause between rounds, and total number of rounds. The system automatically enforces these rules. Ideal for sushi, wok, grill, tapas, and other AYCE concepts. This prevents food waste and keeps the kitchen on pace.

Yes, Jamezz tablet ordering is widely used in hotels. You can place tablets in hotel rooms for room service — guests order breakfast, drinks, or snacks directly from their room. Orders are linked to room numbers for easy billing. You can also deploy tablets at the hotel restaurant, lobby bar, or pool area. Ideal for boutique hotels, resorts, and conference centers, among others.

Jamezz tablet ordering requires an internet connection for real-time synchronization with your POS system, kitchen, and bar. During brief interruptions, orders are buffered locally and automatically sent once the connection is restored. We recommend a reliable WiFi connection or 4G backup per tablet.

Yes, many Jamezz clients combine tablet and QR ordering. For example: tablets on indoor tables, QR codes on the terrace. Or tablets for AYCE rounds and QR for à la carte reorders. Both systems run on the same platform and share the menu, POS integration, and analytics. You choose per table or per concept which solution is active.

Tablet ordering increases revenue in several ways: smart upsell suggestions with each product, visual menus with photos that inspire guests to order more, faster table turnover through more efficient service, and fewer missed orders. Our clients report a higher average order value per table compared to traditional ordering.

Our tablets are carefully selected for their professional-grade quality, durability, and performance in demanding hospitality environments.
