Multiple "Order Ready Boards" (not KDS) in Guest Dining Areas

Restaurateur — Tue, 08 Aug 2023 16:46:46 GMT

Hi, I am getting conflicting answers from Toast support and reps on this so reaching out to the community. I have a fast-casual and want to replace our guest pagers with 4 or 5 Samsung smart TV screens throught the dining room and patio so dine-in guests can from their tables see when their order is ready. QUESTION: Can a restaurant have more than ONE "Order Ready Board" in the guest dining areas...OR is the "Order Ready Board" for the sole function of placing a monitor above a pick up area to notify guests when their to-go order is ready?

FYI, I saw Toast displaying their Order Ready Board at their booth at the NRA Show in Chicago.

Thanks!

Steven

You could have more than one but they will all show the same information. It's just an app that runs on a fire stick, that displays a website essentially so there is no limit to how many you want to display.
