1. The Hidden Cost of Tablet Overload
Operating separate tablets for Deliveroo, Uber Eats, Just Eat, and internal web orders forces staff to manually type orders into POS systems. This leads to input errors, missed tickets, and delayed prep during peak rushes.
Centralized order management ingests all incoming channels into one clean, unified display.
2. Key Features of a Centralized Dashboard
A modern unified dashboard allows operators to view live orders, filter by channel (dine-in, collection, delivery), track order status (New, Cooking, Ready, Dispatched), and trigger kitchen print tickets.
- One-click item 86/snooze across all connected channels.
- Unified preparation timers for synchronized order completion.
- Automated receipt and kitchen docket printing.
