“What’s Cooking”: Comfort Food and Comfort Service
Since the late 70’s, “What’s Cooking” has been doing the simple things right: Quality ingredients, imaginative dishes, generous portions – all in a great location overlooking the historic Albert Dock on the famous Liverpool waterfront. One more thing they do right: Service.
What’s Cooking have integrated six Orderman7 handheld terminals in to their daily workflow and have thus been able to streamline their operation to handle the high numbers of local as well as international guests attracted by their good reputation.
“Adjusting our workflow to handle a high number of guests quickly and efficiently was a challenge for us, but after seeing Orderman in operation across Europe it seemed like it could be a good solution for our business”, says Lee Brennan, CEO of the restaurant chain.
The Orderman hardware has proven very popular amongst the staff, as they have all found their Orderman7’s easy to use, reliable and compact. Individual members of the waiting team have also been equipped with highly portable belt printers, which made bill production much quicker. The entire process has been sped up even more, without guests ever feeling rushed or pressured.
“Previously, we had been quite disappointed when we tried a smart tablet based system. It was just unreliable and temperamental. The staff lost confidence and abandoned its use very quickly. So, we started looking for a robust and reliable handheld ordering system that would improve efficiency in all areas. We chose Orderman and are very happy with the results”, Lee Brennan tells us further. The company is currently considering introducing Orderman hardware to another very busy site soon.
Congratulations to our Orderman partner CCR Systems for an outstanding installation at “What’s Cooking”!
