Brasseries and bistros share one trait: dense services, small teams, moderate average ticket, high drink volume. Tech must speed up service without diluting the "neighbourhood café" spirit. Here's the adapted BipOrder stack.
QR at the table: half servers, half self
In brasseries, QR codes often go on aperitif drinks (customer orders directly = fewer trips) while staying manual on dishes (taking the dish order is still a service moment). Configurable in BipOrder: QR active for drinks, off for dishes.
Smart split: QR for aperitifs and coffee, server-taken dish order. You save 30% of server time, the customer keeps interaction on what matters.
Split payment: essential
4-to-10 person tables wanting to pay separately: a classic headache. BipOrder allows:
- Equal split (EUR 450 / 6 = EUR 75 each).
- Per-item split (each pays what they had).
- Partial payment (first pays EUR 75, others see the balance).
- Customisable tip per payment.
All from the customer's phone or the server's tablet. No more manual maths.
Server app on smartphone
Your servers take orders on the fly on their smartphone, sent to the kitchen in real time. No more counter trips to enter, no paper. With a small team, you gain the equivalent of half a server on busy services.
Simple reservations
No bloated tool needed: a simple reservation module that takes covers online via Google Business Profile, your site, the customer app. Interactive floor plan to optimise seating. No no-shows thanks to card holds on groups.
Multi-order dine-in
Brasserie specificity: a customer can pass 2-3 successive orders (aperitif, dish, dessert/coffee) on the same table. BipOrder aggregates everything into one bill on "request the check". No bad surprise at billing.
KDS at the pass + bar station
In brasseries, the relevant KDS is: 1 kitchen screen + 1 bar screen (for drinks). Coherent with your organisation, no useless complexity.
Flexible payment
- Classic payment terminal: kept for counter payment.
- Stripe QR code: customer pays from their phone.
- Server tablet: present bill at table, instant settlement.
- Everything pushed to your POS in sync.
