Run a faster, sharper front of house, from one screen. Guava Manager is the restaurant-side dashboard for Guava's Bell dine-in system. When a guest sits down and scans the code at their table, their requests reach you instantly, so tables turn faster, service tightens up, and more covers move through the same room. HOW BELL WORKS Print a QR code and short entry code for each table. A guest scans it (or types the code) to open a table session — confirmed by a location check, so you know they're actually seated. From that moment, every request they send appears live on your dashboard and your team can respond in seconds. REAL-TIME REQUESTS See "call server," "ready to order," "request bill," and your own custom requests the instant a guest taps them. Tables escalate visually the longer they wait, so nothing slips — and guests never sit waiting to flag someone down. Faster responses mean faster turns. YOUR FLOOR, YOUR WAY Lay out tables to match your room, generate printable QR stickers, and run everything from a fast iPhone request list or a full iPad floor-plan view — the whole room at a glance. YOUR TEAM Add your servers so requests route and credit to the right person. See who's handling what, spot bottlenecks, and rebalance the floor in real time. WHAT GUESTS SEE Set your venue profile, link or upload your menu (hosted link or PDF), and choose the special-request options guests can send. Guests can privately share dining preferences — dietary needs, allergies, seating, and the occasion — and optionally their name, so your staff can serve them well and turn first-timers into regulars. ANALYZE YOUR FRONT OF HOUSE Track response times, request volume, and per-server performance to see exactly where service slows down. Close the gaps, staff smarter for each shift, and keep tables moving. WHY RESTAURANTS USE GUAVA MANAGER - Turn tables faster — guests are served the moment they ask, no flagging down - Move more covers through the same room without adding stress - One live view of your whole floor, on iPhone or iPad - Route and credit each request to the right server - Analyze front-of-house performance — response times, volume, and per-server metrics - Share your menu and let guests send preferences and allergies ahead of service - Turn great service into repeat visits and stronger revenue - Manage your venue profile and content GET STARTED Submit your application, get approved, print your table codes, and start serving guests. Guava Manager is your front-of-house command center — faster turns, tighter operations, and more revenue from the room you already have.
