Takeaways and Restaurants are looking for a more efficient way to receive orders, historically you have needed human interaction via the telephone or the good old fax machine to receive orders, and these are now a thing of the past with the SMS Printer.

The SMS2printer is deployed at many takeaways around the world. This covers all types of food and many varied outlets from Coffee shops to Chinese Takeaways to Pizzas.

The online food ordering service makes use of the GPRS network to send the online order directly to the printer situated in the kitchen. This has the advantage of processing the order from start to finish without any human interaction and enables the staff working in the restaurant to focus on other duties. The 2 way communication option allows the kitchen to respond to the order, this could be accept/reject or to communicate a delivery time to the customer.

The delivery address can be appended to the order so that the same order used by the kitchen to make the food can also be used to give to the delivery driver to deliver the food.

This not only saves on paper but the back end system can manage all of the order processing and provide feedback to the restaurant to see how the service is performing.
