Chequo

Kitchen display

The kitchen screen, on a phone or tablet you already own.

Tickets reach the right station the moment the waiter sends them, and the floor sees when each dish is ready. It runs on Android and iOS: a tablet on the line, a phone at the bar. Included free in ProPOS.

See it in action

A kitchen, a bar and a pass, in under two minutes.

Stations, the three board modes, claiming, and every cook in their own language.

Any screen

A tablet on the line, a phone at the bar.

There is no kitchen hardware to buy. On a tablet the app is a three-column board. On a phone the columns become tabs, so the bar queue fits in a pocket or stands on the counter, upright or on its side.

  • Android and iOS, phones and tablets
  • Each menu item goes to its own station: kitchen, bar, pizza, desserts
  • One screen can show every station, for the pass
  • Each cook sees the board in their own language: the pass in English, the bar in Italian
  • The screen stays on through service

Three ways to run the board

Pick the board that fits the station.

Set a mode for the whole restaurant, for one station, or for one screen. The grill and the pastry section rarely want the same thing.

  1. 1

    Whole order

    One ticket per order, moved from New to In progress to Ready with a tap. With course pacing, each course the waiter fires arrives as its own ticket.

  2. 2

    Per-item tickets

    The same board with one card per item, so two cooks can work one order without waiting on each other.

  3. 3

    Item fulfillment

    No columns: one card per order, every item a tick box, grouped by course. The card clears when the last item is ticked. Made for the pass.

Quick actions

A cola never needs to be “in progress”.

Turn on quick actions for a station and every new ticket gets three buttons: start preparing, mark ready, or done and off the board. Drinks and desserts go out in one tap.

  • Start, ready, or done and cleared, straight from New
  • Hold a ticket, then Rush: a red band on every screen, and it moves to the front
  • Mark a dish sold out from the line, or set how many portions are left
  • Print a runner slip for a whole ticket or a single item
  • Every ticket move can be undone

Claiming tickets

Several people, one queue, no round made twice.

With claiming on, whoever starts a ticket takes it. It moves to In progress under their name, so two bartenders never make the same round.

  • Starting a ticket claims it for whoever is signed in on that screen
  • Mine shows your own tickets; All shows the whole station, with a name on every claimed ticket
  • Send a ticket back to New and anyone can take it again
  • Switched on per station, in the back office

Pickup display

Turn a tablet into the board your guests watch.

For counters, cafés and takeaway: order numbers and first names under Preparing and Ready. When an order is ready it fills the screen for a moment and a chime sounds.

  • Counter and takeaway orders, from every station
  • Headings switch between your language and up to three more
  • Your logo at the top
  • Locked for guests: settings need a manager PIN
