The Traditional Service Model vs. The New Steps of Service

The New Steps of Service is a modern way of structuring your front of house that combines the traditional touchpoints of hospitality with the efficiencies of technology. It streamlines the flow of service by empowering your guests to order and pay whenever they like, and it keeps the orders coming to increase average check sizes*.

Traditional Service - 7 Servers

Primary tasks include taking orders, putting in orders at the POS, and processing payments.

New Service - 3 Servers

Primary tasks include greeting guests, assisting with ordering, and table touches.

Benefits of the New Steps of Service

  • Increase your restaurant's profits
    Restaurants using Order and Pay technology see a nearly 12% increase in average check size*.

  • Improve guest satisfaction
    Put ordering and payment technology in the hands of the guests to enable them to keep ordering whenever a craving hits.

  • Empower staff with a more rewarding role
    Servers can embrace more hospitality-focused tasks rather than spending time running to the point of sale and swiping credit cards.
