In hospitality, speed and service go hand in hand. Whether you're running a high-end restaurant or an all-day buzzing cafe, Table by Yoco helps you serve more customers faster and more efficiently.

Here's how this all-in-one restaurant operating system can help you clear tables quicker, boost service quality, and keep both staff and customers smiling.

1. Streamlined tableside ordering and payments

With Table by Yoco, waiters use a handheld Khumo device to take orders and payments directly at the table - no running back and forth to the POS.

Why it speeds things up:

• Orders go straight to the kitchen without delay.

• Payments can be processed immediately after the meal. There’s no more flagging down someone or waiting for the card machine.

Picture this: a waiter at a 40-seater restaurant has 6 active tables. Instead of walking to a central till after every order, they can enter it right then and there, freeing them up to check in on other guests or turn the table faster for waiting customers.

2. Enhanced kitchen coordination with real-time displays

Kitchen Display Screens (KDS) show orders the moment they’re entered - no lost dockets, no miscommunication.

Why it speeds things up:

• Chefs get a real-time view of incoming orders.

• Front-of-house can see when a dish is ready to be served without shouting across the pass.

Let’s say your kitchen is prepping two burgers, one pasta dish and a gluten-free special. Because the system automatically sequences and prioritises the orders, the team avoids confusion and gets all dishes to the pass at the same time, meaning fewer delays, fewer remakes and more satisfied customers out the door faster.

3. Efficient floor and staff management

You can track what’s happening on the floor with smart table management and real-time updates. The system also allows you to assign tables, split bills and keep service flowing smoothly.

Why it speeds things up:

• Staff know exactly which tables they’re responsible for.

• Orders and updates are synced instantly, so there’s no duplication or guesswork.

It’s Friday night. A waiter is juggling a large table celebrating a birthday and a couple of parties of 2 to 3. They can split the bill as much as needed on their Khumo card machine, add a last-minute dessert and keep everyone happy - all without slowing things down.

4. Integrated payments with customer-friendly features

Accept tips, split bills and close out checks with ease using integrated devices like the Neo Touch, Khumo and Khumo Print.

Why it speeds things up:

• No waiting for a separate machine or staff member to handle payment.

• Guests are prompted through tipping and payment flows - no awkward moments or delays.

You’re managing the lunch rush and time is tight. A group of colleagues want to split the bill three ways and tip 10%. With the Table setup, it's done in under a minute, without a calculator or confusion, and there’s no hold-up for the next group of customers eyeing that same table.
