Description

Porchlight serves as a cloud-based platform tailored for the booking and management needs of independent pubs, restaurants, and cafés. Featuring an AI phone assistant named Thomas, it efficiently manages incoming calls and schedules reservations based on real-time availability, forwarding any unmanageable requests to staff for follow-up. All booking channels, including phone, website, and Google, are consolidated into a single venue diary equipped with a comprehensive floor plan. Additionally, the staff app integrates various functionalities such as rota management, clock-in systems, payroll tracking, tips management, and food safety inspections, providing a centralized tool for venues to oversee bookings and daily staff operations. This service is specifically designed to assist independent hospitality establishments in the UK, ensuring they can effectively manage reservations during peak service hours as well as outside of operating hours. With Porchlight, venues can optimize their operations and enhance customer service.

Description

Waitery is a cloud-centric point-of-sale solution designed specifically for restaurants, cafés, and quick-service establishments in Canada. Customers can effortlessly scan a QR code at their table to explore the menu, submit orders, divide bills, leave tips, and make payments through a mobile web browser, eliminating the need for any app installation. Orders placed by diners, staff devices, direct online orders, and various delivery services are directed to a kitchen display that features station routing, an expo view, and a backup printing option. The platform also offers robust menu management, secure payment processing, bilingual support in English and French, digital receipts, and the capability to manage Canadian sales tax by province. Additional features include optional modules for managing inventory, labor, time tracking, reservations, catering services, and integration with third-party delivery options. Waitery provides a range of hardware, including POS terminals, handheld devices for servers, kitchen display tablets, and printers, all available for either purchase or leasing options.
