DineBeacon transforms how your restaurant team communicates — eliminating the chaos of missed signals, slow response times, and tables left waiting. INSTANT TABLE ALERTS The moment a guest needs something, their table lights up on your waiter's phone with an audio announcement of the exact table number. No guessing. No delays. FASTER TABLE TURNOVER When waiters respond faster, guests are happier and tables turn quicker. DineBeacon tracks every call and response so you always know how your floor is performing. QR CODE SESSION MANAGEMENT Waiters assign tables by showing guests a secure QR code to scan. Sessions start instantly, keeping your floor organized from the moment guests sit down. REAL-TIME CALL TRACKING Every call is logged with wait time and status — pending, acknowledged, or complete. Nothing falls through the cracks. FOR MANAGERS Track performance across your whole team. See response times by waiter, busiest days, top-selling items, and alcohol revenue — all from the manager dashboard. Built for restaurants that care about service.
