Have you got frustrated in a restaurant waiting for a server to take your order ?
A: Yes, heavily frustrated many times waiting and looking for servers to come and take order. I learnt from my friend regarding RestKit App which is a solution to this problem. We should be letting restaurants that we visit know about this Restkit app and to use it to solve this problem . Restkit app can be freely downloaded and it can be setup instantly in 15 minutes where restaurant need to input their menu and sync with all table ipads from where customers can order straight away as soon as they visit without waiting. Restkit App follows pay as you use model which means Restaurants need to purchase order capacity count using in app purchases within the app and order capacity count reduces by 1 for each order placed from ipad that is having Restkit App in customer mode. Once order capacity count is finished, you need to recharge/topup again. It doesn’t cost much as it is a very nominal cost per order and follows pay as you use
How it works:
Put an iPad on each table with RestKit App in Customer Mode
Have one Owner iPad at the counter/kitchen with Restkit App in Owner Mode
All devices & AirPrint kitchen printer on the same Wi-Fi. Printer that need to be used is a 3 inch receipt printer enabled with Apple Airprint Technology like "Brother RJ-3150"
Customers order → Owner iPad gets it instantly → prints in kitchen → email copy of the order sent as well
Why it works:
✅ No monthly subscription — Pay-As-You-Use (1 order = 1 credit)
✅ Reduces wait time by 30–50%
✅ Cuts order mistakes (customer selects directly)
✅ Staff can focus on service instead of note-taking
Setup checklist:
1. Download RestKit on all iPads (free)
2. Enter your menu in Owner Mode
3. Sync menu to table iPads
4. Connect AirPrint-enabled kitchen printer
5. Start serving faster
