Restaurants
Benefit from the various advantages for customes and operators.
Electronic menus do not replace service staff, but support them. The time that is saved can be used for better service. At the same time, it is guaranteed that the guests get access to all information about the products, such as allergens.
Nutrition-values are calculated on the basis of the recipe and can be displayed on the e-menu.
Take advantage of the technology to change and to add items on the menu with little effort. Test new drinks or take slow-sellers off the menu.
Create seasonal promotions and change the menu for lunch, dinner and weekend.
Sold-out products can be hidden by the kitchen at the push of a button.
With the use of e-menus, the orders are directly entered into the system without any need of your staff doing so.
Food Trucks
Queue Management for mobile sales units.
Food trucks have a customer peak at lunchtime, at caterings and at events.
With a mobile e-menu that is set up in front of the truck, orders can be taken contactlessly and are sent to the kitchen.
The e-menu system manages the situation. No more misunderstandings, customers are satisfied and the kitchen perfectly organized. With the help of the e-menu, a food truck can be staffed with up to one person less than without the e-menu.
Hotel Lobbies
Optimize the service in remote areas.
Service employees are valuable, not always available and expensive.
Particularly in areas ...
- ... with a low customer frequency,
- ... with different customer frequencies during the course of the day,
- ... which are remote and cannot be serviced continously,
- ... which are too small to be serviced,
- ... which are open day and night.
The Food-Order Terminal is the solution. Improve the quality and availability of service at the same time as the volume of sales.
Guests simply choose a drink or a snack. The order is processed in the kitchen and will be delivered to the location of the terminal.

OktoPOS is a pioneer for electronic menu cards. The OktoPOS E-Menus are characterized by a complete integration into the overall system from the kitchen control to the cash register.
Articles that are no longer available can be deactivated with the kitchen terminal. In addition, different menu cards can be activated for different days of week and different times (breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc.).
Different menu cards can be defined for areas, e.g. restaurant, bar, take away, etc. Each branch can use a different set of products on the menu card.
Depending on the configuration, e-menus can be combined with contactless customer cards (RFID).

Ask for the different styles of the pedestral, that fit your needs. Depending on the location, we offer different set-up options.
Choose between:
- Mobile (Cover)
- Table stand mobile
- Table stand fix
- Low floor stand
- High floor stand
- Wall mount
Mobile (cover)
The mobile version is the most flexible alternative and helps to keep investment low, when the menus are brought to the customer-tabels.
The loss of devices is generally lower than expected, but it depends significantly on the situation. In a clearly arranged restaurant, the loss is typically is close to zero.
The cover protects your device from damage.
We recommend a cover made of high quality genuine leather. Covers of synthetic leather and other materials wear out after only a few months.
Table stand fix
A fix table stand is recommended in situations where the e-menu has a fixed position and should not be moved. The orders are taken at the location of the e-menu.
Table stand mobile
The mobile table stand is recommended for environments where the e-menu has fixed position, but should still be flexible for customer needs. For example, as a takeaway order terminal.
High floor stand
A high floor stand is recommended when guests order while they are standing, e.g. at a takeaway order terminal or in a waiting queue.
Wall mount
A wall mount is ideal for meeting- and hotel-rooms. This guarantees that the e-menu stays in its place.
A wall mount is available as surface-mounted or flush-mounted solution.
Low floor stand
A low floor stand is ideal for lounge areas and lobbies.
Design

Layout
We recommend to use our standard layout for the design of the e-menu. The buttons and icons can be individualized. By using your own article photos, the e-Menu will reflect the corporate image of your company.
