Smart Waiter Dispatch Queues
Hot Food Service SLAs
Eliminate front-of-house chaos and slow table service. Automatically balance table assignments across on-duty servers and enforce 60-second pickup timers from the kitchen pass.
Smarter Routing for Front-of-House Teams
Say goodbye to shouting floor captains and neglected guest tables. Our automated queue handles table dispatching smoothly.
Floor Section Zoning
Group tables into dining zones (Indoor, Terrace, Private Dining) and assign specific server teams.
Automated Workload Balancing
The queue rotates incoming table orders evenly among online servers to avoid burning out staff.
60-Second Hot Food SLA
Internal countdown timers monitor the kitchen pass, reassigning unserved dishes before food gets cold.
Streamlined Dining Room Execution
Round-Robin Dispatch Within Zones
Tables and QR orders allocate evenly among active servers in each section. This ensures fair tips, prevents server burnout, and guarantees prompt guest attention.
60-Second Hot Food Pickup SLA
When the kitchen marks a dish as ready, a 60-second pickup timer starts. If the primary waiter is tied up at another table, neighboring servers are automatically pinged to run the food hot.
Presence & Shift Status Sync
Waiters log in and out of shift zones. The dispatch queue automatically removes clocked-out or on-break staff from the active rotation so no guest is left waiting.
Real-Time Table Handoffs
When reassignments occur, the new waiter's screen updates immediately with table details, order items, and guest notes, keeping service seamless and accountable.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does section-based round-robin waiter assignment work?
When a guest scans a QR code or sits at a table, Indostra checks which servers are on duty in that section (e.g. Indoor AC, Garden, Rooftop). It assigns the order sequentially among available servers to balance floor workload evenly.
What is the 60-second food delivery SLA timer?
When the kitchen expediter marks a dish as READY on the kitchen display, an internal 60-second countdown begins. If the assigned server does not acknowledge and pick up the ticket within 60 seconds, the system alerts neighboring servers to deliver it hot.
How are waiters notified on their phones?
Servers receive immediate audio chimes and visual pop-ups on their mobile waiter screen, displaying the table number, customer name, and item checklist.
How does the system prevent duplicate service?
Once a server accepts an order or reassigned ticket, the ticket locks immediately. Other staff screens show an updated status, preventing two waiters from delivering the same order.
