Connected restaurant operations

Point of sale is only one part of the connected restaurant.

Restaurant Studios is the backbone: station terminals, kitchen displays, pay-at-the-table, Frame digital poster boards and menu boards, the Hub, guest QR experiences, surveillance, QR feedback, and an AI-assisted manager layer that helps you see table friction, kitchen pace, and service risk before it turns into a lost customer.

Restaurant backbone

One Hub connects the floor, kitchen, guests, and management layer.

The local Hub is the on-site authority for the connected restaurant. It keeps POS, kitchen, payment, Frame signage, table state, guest touchpoints, alerts, and surveillance context lined up so the operator is not guessing across disconnected systems.

  • Station terminals and handheld workflows
  • Kitchen display, Frame signage, and expo awareness
  • Payment, table, feedback, signage, and surveillance signals in one operating picture

Hardware available

The floor hardware stack is ready for every role.

Restaurant Studios can present a complete hardware story: pay at the table, station terminals, kitchen displays, Frame digital poster boards, local Hub appliance, table QR displays, and surveillance devices that all report into the same restaurant backbone.

  • Pay-at-the-table hardware
  • Counter, bar, host, and manager station terminals
  • Kitchen displays for expo, grill, salad, and prep

Frame signage

Frame turns TVs into beautiful poster boards and menu boards.

Frame is the digital signage layer inside Restaurant Studios: a clean in-restaurant poster board, menu board, art wall, promo board, or live TV screen connected to Canvas and the management platform.

  • Create designs in Canvas and send them directly to displays
  • Schedule art, promotions, menus, and dayparted menu boards
  • Automatic TV turn-off support

Virtual AI manager

AI-assisted alerts watch the restaurant while the team works.

Think of it as a virtual manager layer: table timing, kitchen pace, ticket pressure, feedback, and guest friction become calm alerts instead of surprises. The goal is to tell management which tables need attention, where the kitchen is falling behind, and what to fix before the guest experience slips.

  • Tables that may need food, refills, payment, or recovery
  • Kitchen bottleneck and ticket-aging signals
  • Manager alerts that connect POS, KDS, feedback, and surveillance context

Guest-connected tables

A small table screen can open the Restaurant Studios guest experience.

The in-house ESP32-C6 e-paper table display direction gives each table a quiet QR touchpoint. Guests can scan, open the Restaurant Studios experience, add to their ticket, follow food progress, and give feedback without waiting for another handoff.

  • E-ink table QR display concept
  • Guests can add to their own ticket
  • Food progress and feedback touchpoints

Surveillance + feedback

See the moments that decide whether a customer comes back.

The in-house surveillance platform and QR feedback loop help operators monitor real customer interactions, understand what happened, and make things right while there is still time to save the relationship.

  • Surveillance playback tied to operations context
  • QR feedback for direct guest recovery
  • Service issues surfaced before they become silent churn

Next step

Restaurant Studios turns the building into one connected operating system.

POS, kitchen, pay-at-table, Frame signage, table QR displays, surveillance, feedback, alerts, and marketing data all become part of the same backbone instead of separate vendor islands.
