Handle table-side ordering, dietary requests and peak covers through one clean ordering flow guests already understand.

Restaurant guests ordering through WhatsApp at their table

Restaurant ordering pain points

Front-of-house teams need speed without compromising guest experience.

  • Large parties create order bottlenecks during peak service.
  • Dietary and allergen notes are easily missed in verbal ordering.
  • Menus with many modifiers slow ordering at the table.
  • Guests wait too long to reorder drinks or desserts.
  • Shift handovers can leave order statuses unclear across teams.

Structured dietary notes

Can restaurants use Digame for terrace and indoor areas?
