Digital menu for snack and shawarma bars
In a snack bar, everything moves fast: shawarma, tacos, panini, plates, fries. The guest orders on the phone, pays at the till, and the phone rings when the order is ready. No pager to buy, no names shouted across the room.

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.
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
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.
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.
