Digital menu for snack, shawarma and fast food in Settat
In Settat, the snack bar is the place for a quick lunch and a late dinner, and the queue always forms at the same hour.
Capital of the Chaouia, Settat lives off its university, its farming and the Casablanca-Marrakech road at its doorstep. Students and travellers fill its cafés and snacks.

Hassan I University draws students from across the region. For a snack near the faculties, counter mode takes payment before cooking and rings the phone when the sandwich is ready.
Settat is a stop on the road between Casablanca and Marrakech, and travellers want to eat and get going. A takeaway link shared on WhatsApp lets them order a little before they arrive.
Many residents commute to Casablanca for work, which bunches guests into early morning and evening. Let each waiter choose their tables for the shift: calls reach their phone, not a colleague's.
During Ramadan, cafés open after ftour and close late. Set Ramadan hours and the day start hour so the night service counts in the right day.
Service in a snack bar, shawarma place or fast food
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Most of my guests are students: how do I avoid unpaid orders?
In counter mode, an order only starts once it is paid at the till. In the room, a table closed without payment alerts you at once, and the 2-digit table PIN blocks fake orders sent from a shared link.
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.
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.
