Digital menu for snack, shawarma and fast food in Safi
A snack bar in Safi lives on its rush hours: what counts is how many orders go out right in one hour.
Safi is the sardine port, the potters' hill and a large phosphate industry site. People eat fresh fish here and follow OC Safi with passion.

Sardines land at the port every day and grilled fish is part of the city. When the catch of the day runs out, mark it sold out: it turns grey on the guests' menu and nobody orders it for nothing.
Engineers, technicians and contractors from the phosphate complex come through Safi for work. They often ask for an invoice in their company's name: the ICE invoice is made from the table, printed or sent on WhatsApp.
On an OC Safi match night the whole city watches. Turn on match mode from your phone: the night's prices for the whole room, a minimum per table if you want one, and back to normal the next day without a thought.
During Ramadan, many guests go out after ftour and stay until shour. Ramadan hours and a late day start keep your daily reports in the right day.
Service in a snack bar, shawarma place or fast food
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.
A Moroccan snack bar often mixes two services: the counter, where guests order and pay first, and a few tables to eat in. At peak hours the queue grows in front of the till and whoever takes orders becomes the bottleneck. Every minute spent repeating "no onion, Algerian sauce" is another minute of queue.

Frequently asked questions
I sell fish depending on the catch: how do I avoid orders for dishes that are gone?
Mark the ingredient sold out (sardines, for example): every dish that uses it turns grey on the guests' menu until the next day. The waiter no longer has to go back to the table to say it is gone.
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.
Does the guest need an app to be told the order is ready?
No. They keep their order page open on the phone, and it rings when the kitchen taps "Ready". The number also shows on the counter screen if you have one.
