Table ordering tablet: the guest orders alone, no waiting for a waiter
laTable sits on every table. Menu, cart, order, payment, waiter call: all on the tablet. The order goes to the register and kitchen on its own.
What the tablet does on the table
laTable is an iPad or Android tablet locked in kiosk mode. The guest cannot leave the app or open anything else. The menu has photos and video, modifiers, 3 languages and nutrition. They build a cart and tap Order. The cashier types nothing.
- iPadOS 17+ or Android 11+
- Connects to the laCafe cloud over Wi-Fi; with laBox at the branch, also to its apps over the LAN
- Pairing with a 6-letter code, battery status every 60 seconds, remote disconnect
Saturday night, the terrace is full
Twelve tables on the terrace, two waiters. Table 4 orders shashlik and salad from the tablet. It lands on laBoard, goes through iiko, the kitchen ticket prints. Table 9 wants a hookah: they tap Call waiter, choose Hookah master, and the call goes to Telegram and to his laWaiter. Dilshod only carries out the food.
What the cashier and kitchen see
The order shows on laBoard with the table number. Statuses: not sent → sent → cooking → ready → served. Turn on auto-send for the branch and orders go to the kitchen by themselves. The guest closes the bill from the tablet: cash, card or online.
- Online payment: Payme, Click, UzQR, WLCM
- Live stop list from the POS: sold out means gone from the tablet
- 1–5 star rating, one-tap bill request
Price and what you need
laTable is part of your laCafe package: packages start at UZS 600,000 a month with unlimited devices, so 12 laTable, 1 laBoard and 2 laWaiter cost nothing extra. See /pricing. You buy the tablets yourself. The branch needs internet; with iiko or r_keeper, the free laBox goes on the register PC.
Questions & answers
How much does a table ordering tablet cost?
There is no per-tablet fee: the software is part of your laCafe package. Packages start at UZS 600,000 a month with unlimited devices; see /pricing. The tablet itself (iPad or Android) is yours to buy.
Which tablets are supported?
iPad on iPadOS 17 or later, or an Android tablet on Android 11 or later. Runs in kiosk mode so the guest cannot leave the app.
Does the tablet work with iiko?
Yes, fully two-way. The plugin runs inside iikoFront (laBox installs it on the register PC): it creates, adds to, pays and closes orders and prints receipts and kitchen tickets. r_keeper also works, but without modifiers for now.
Does the tablet work without internet?
laTable runs on the laCafe cloud, so the branch needs internet. A second ISP or a mobile modem as backup is a good idea. If the branch has laBox, tablets also reach its apps over the local network.
What if a guest breaks or walks off with the tablet?
The tablet is in kiosk mode, nothing else opens on it. The device fleet page in the admin panel shows each tablet's battery every 60 seconds, and you can disconnect one remotely. We recommend a stand mount.
Does the tablet replace r_keeper or iiko?
No. laCafe does not replace the POS; it adds a guest layer on top. Orders from the tablet go into iiko or r_keeper and accounting stays there.
