Digital menu for snack, shawarma and fast food in Fez
Shawarma, tacos or panini: in Fez, a snack bar wins guests with speed and keeps them with consistency.
Fez splits its guests between the medina, full of visitors, and the new town, where students and families fill cafés and snack bars all year.
Start the free trialWhat matters in Fez
Around the Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University campuses, such as Dhar El Mehraz, students drop by between classes. Order on the phone, pay first, the phone rings when it is ready: the queue moves without shouting numbers.
Fez has cold winters and very hot summers: the indoor room works in winter, the terrace on summer evenings. Each waiter picks the tables they serve that day, so opening the terrace just means handing those tables to someone.
Ramadan nights in Fez are long and cafés fill up after ftour. With a late day start, sold-out items do not come back mid-service and waiters do not re-enter their PIN at midnight.
On Maghreb de Fes match nights, neighbourhood cafés get lively fast. Match mode is switched on from the manager's phone and stops by itself the next day.
Service in a snack bar, shawarma place or fast food
In the kitchen, the griddle, the spit and the fryer all run at once. Paper tickets get mixed up, an option like "no harissa" is hard to read, and a takeaway order ends up under an eat-in one. A kitchen screen showing each ticket with its options, in order and with its waiting time, prevents these mistakes.
A sandwich is cheap, so margin comes from volume and extras: cheese, fries inside the sandwich, a drink. A menu on the phone shows those options to every guest at the right price, without the cashier having to think of it.

Frequently asked questions
In the Fez medina, signal is poor in some lanes: does the QR menu still work?
Yes. After the first visit the menu opens even offline, and an order sent with no signal goes out by itself when the connection returns. Share your Wi-Fi too: guests get the password in one tap.
Can I keep the till and pay-first?
Yes. At the counter, the order only goes to the kitchen once it is paid at the till. At tables you can keep payment at the end as usual.
What if the kitchen runs out of chicken?
Mark the ingredient as sold out: every item that uses it is greyed out on guests' phones until the next day. Nobody orders a dish you cannot serve.
