Compare ways to take a table order
Full-service restaurants take orders with a handheld, a notepad, or from memory, and newer AI tools take orders by phone or at the drive-thru. Each approach has real strengths. These pages compare them fairly, including where KwickVoice is not the better fit.
- Handheld POS
- Fast entry at the table, at the cost of the server's attention.
- Pen and pad
- Eye contact and flexibility, at the cost of re-keying every order.
- AI phone and drive-thru ordering
- Automates ordering without a server, which is a different job from tableside service.
