What we hear most
These are the problems takeaways tell us about most.
“The queue at peak times loses me customers”
People glance at the line, decide it’s too long, and walk to the place next door.
“Customers can’t read the board, so they point and guess”
Every guess at the window is a slower queue and a dish they didn’t want.
“There’s no easy way to show allergens at the counter”
A laminated card behind the till can’t keep up with a daily-changing menu.
Your counter, after you go live
They’ve decided before they reach the window.
A customer scans the QR in the window while they wait. They read the whole menu in Polish, check the allergens on the chicken box themselves, and know exactly what they want before they reach the counter. You changed two prices from your phone this morning and they were live the moment you saved. When QR ordering and payments arrive, that same customer will be able to order and pay from their phone before they even get there — but the menu, the languages and the allergens are working for you today.

Half my lunch crowd are office workers who don’t speak much English, and the other half are in a hurry. Putting the menu on a QR in the window meant people could read it — in their own language — before they got to the till, allergens and all. The queue moves faster because nobody’s deliberating at the counter. I’m genuinely waiting for the order-ahead part to land.
