Workflow blueprint

Tablet ordering needs to preserve exactly what the guest saw and what the kitchen received

An order-message timeline, not guest identity proof, allergen advice, food safety control, preparation confirmation or payment settlement.

Bind the device session to a menu edition, retain guest choices and displayed prices, trace submission and station responses, then control corrections and payment handoff.

TL;DR — Bind the device session to a menu edition, retain guest choices and displayed prices, trace submission and station responses, then control corrections and payment handoff.
1

Open a bounded table session

Record venue, device, table claim, language, service mode and menu edition without assuming the user identity.

2

Preserve choices and disclosures

Keep selected items, modifiers, displayed prices, guest-entered notes and the exact allergy-information route available.

3

Trace submission to station response

Relate order message, source clock, destination station, acknowledgement, rejection, delay and duplicate handling.

4

Control corrections and checkout handoff

Version voids, remakes, additions, staff overrides, bill grouping and payment-provider reports.

Page-specific decision aid

A device session, menu edition, table, guest input, modifier, displayed price, submission, station response, correction and payment handoff timeline

The timeline follows a table order containing a guest-entered allergy note through a stale menu warning, kitchen rejection, corrected modifier and split bill. It shows the information route and staff intervention without declaring the meal safe or payment complete.

  • A table number is not guest identity.
  • A dietary note is not allergen clearance.
  • A station acknowledgement is not prepared food.
Scope first

What Codeblix would confirm before implementation

This page is an operational blueprint. The final workflow, screens, permissions and integrations depend on your current process and agreed implementation scope.

  • Each order references the displayed menu edition
  • Guest notes remain distinct from verified dietary controls
  • Station rejection and retries preserve message history
  • Guest identity allergen suitability preparation food safety service completion payment and tax conclusions excluded
