Restaurant Paging

The use of restaurant paging systems has become very widespread in the last few years; the question that many people ask is why they use them. In reality there are three distinct and separate paging systems in use by restaurants, some use all of them while others may only use one or two of them. The three most common paging systems in use are Waiter pagers, Customer or Dining pagers and Push for Server pagers.

The restaurant paging system used for the waiters and servers is designed to be used by the kitchen staff to let the waiter know that his or her order is ready. In general the transmitter will be set up in the plating area of the kitchen and features a number of buttons. Each button is directly connected with a particular server so that when their order is ready the cook can page them via a silent vibrating pager. There are units that will periodically resend the page until the server has picked up their food order as a reminder.

Guest or diner restaurant paging systems are rapidly gaining in popularity, especially for restaurants that are exceptionally busy. This type of pager is connected with a control panel near the host or hostess station. This pager allows the customer the opportunity to sit at the bar and have a cocktail while they wait or to go for a short walk. When there is a table ready for them the host or hostess simply pages them wherever they are so that they can come and enjoy their meal.

Restaurants tend to be a very busy environment and the wait staff can often be busy enough that a table can go without the attention they deserve. In this instance the restaurant paging system is a button on the table that allows the patron to summon a waiter or waitress to attend to their needs. This can significantly cut down on the number of patrons who will wait only so long to order another drink or dessert before giving up and paying their bill on their way out.

Restaurant paging systems have become a very important part of the industry and make it possible for the restaurant to provide the highest possible level of customer service. Whether used to alert customers to an open table or to tell the servers that a customer's order is ready they can make the whole dining experience far more enjoyable, they can definitely help to increase the overall profit levels of any restaurant that install them.
