Waving doesn't scale
Booths, patios, a pool table on the far side. The guest is out of eyeline and stays that way until someone walks past.
A little signal. A better service.
The table asks.
The right server
Water. A coal change. The check.
One little tap. Everything starts moving.

The actual problem
In a big room, a guest cannot get anyone’s attention — and a server cannot see who needs them.
A buzzer says nothing
It tells a server that table 12 wants something. They walk over, ask, walk back, and return with it. Two trips for one glass of water.
Nobody finds out in time
The table that waited eleven minutes doesn't complain. They just don't come back, and you never learn which table it was.
How it works
Tap. Pick. Done.

Tap.
The guest taps
A chip under the table edge, or a printed code. It opens a page — no app, no download, no wifi login. Two seconds.

Pick.
They pick one thing
Coal change. Water. The check. Your list, your words. Specific, so the server arrives with it instead of arriving to ask.
- 03 / 03
Done.
The right person hears
It goes to whoever is covering that section right now. If nobody acknowledges it, it climbs — to another server, then to a manager.
The service loop
One request, from the table to done, in a single pass.
One screen asks, the other answers — the path every request takes in the room. It reaches whoever is covering that section, the table is told somebody is coming, and the clock runs from the tap to the moment it is closed.

A tap with a sense of place.

Life happens. It keeps up.
Four taps stay one request. Guests can cancel before pickup; staff confirm before dismissing. Lose signal? The request waits on the phone, then sends when it returns.

06 / A CLEARER PICTURE
Feel the rhythm of your room.
See median answer times by hour and which tables waited. Counts and durations that help you run service — without scores or staff rankings.
Illustrations of the OnCue experience. Names, orders and chart shapes are examples.
For whoever runs the room
You cannot fix a slow Saturday you never knew about.
Every request is timed from the moment it is sent to the moment it is finished. You get medians by hour, which tables waited, and what escalated — enough to move a server at 8pm instead of reading about it on Google a week later.
There are no scores and no rankings. It reports counts and durations, and draws no conclusion about any individual server.
