Why a Kindle Fire and not a custom device?
Kindle Fire tablets give a paper-like, low-glare display at a fraction of the cost of dedicated hardware, and they replace easily if one walks away.
Does this replace my servers?
No. The fine dining menu is semi self-service — guests can call a live server with one tap, and your servers focus on hospitality, wine pairings, and check-ins instead of order entry.
Will it confuse older diners?
The interface is built to feel like a printed menu with the typography and pacing of fine dining. Guests who prefer a server can simply tap to summon one.
Can I show photos for some dishes and not others?
Yes. Photos are optional per item, so signature plates can shine while the rest of the menu stays clean.
Do menu changes really go live without reprinting?
Yes. Update an item, price, or 86-list in the back office and every tablet refreshes within seconds — no more pile of paper menus heading to recycling at the end of the night.
What does the Product Image Refresh feature do?
Provides a documented refresh path when product images fail to load on iOS, so the picture-driven menu stays accurate without an IT call.
What does Dynamic Catalogs / Time-Based Menus do?
Switch the menu automatically by time of day (brunch → lunch → dinner). The kitchen and the guest only see what's actually being served right now.
What does Disable Products or Categories for a Period do?
Temporarily 86 a course, category or entire section without deleting it. The seasonal menu comes back next week with all its data intact.
What does Modifier Group Management do?
Group temperature, sides, sauces and add-ons cleanly so the captain orders fast and the kitchen reads one consistent ticket. Misfires from ambiguous mods drop.
What does Show Real-Time Item Quantity on POS do?
When the chef has 6 ribeyes left, every captain sees 6 — and 5 after the next one is fired. Embarrassment of selling sold-out specials disappears.
What does Tag-Based Search on the POS do?
Captains find dishes by tag (vegan, gluten-free, contains nuts) instantly during the table-side conversation. Allergen handling becomes confident, not nervous.
What does Print Gift Receipt do?
For private events and comp situations, print a no-price receipt for the guest. Discretion is preserved without a custom workaround.
Does it integrate with the SalesVu POS and KDS?
Yes. Orders flow into the SalesVu Order Manager and your kitchen display, and payments settle through the same processor as your counter and online sales.
