All-in-one front of house

Restaurants can boost their versatility with Syrve. Our all-in-one application combines all food and beverage service categories. This means it’s easy to switch between different modes within the same application, on the same till: table service, counter service, delivery service, and even the kitchen display screen.

Syrve’s easy-to-use interface is packed with smart functionality and time-saving tools that empower busy front-of-house teams. They can serve customers better and faster, with instant access to menu details, dynamic results pane, clever upselling prompts, out-of-stock flags and allergen information.

Reservations and Banqueting

With Syrve, you can manage reservations easily, from banquets to booked tables, or delivery orders. You’ve got the tools to record booking details, names and contact information. You can also use the opportunity to promote loyalty cards and newsletter subscriptions. It’s also possible to track cancellations and reasons.

  • Control capacity: Prevent overcrowding and ease customer anxiety in the post-pandemic era

Smart Table Service: Order and pay

You can digitise and streamline your service — from the table, to the kitchen and onto payment — using a top handheld device with our ordering app and integrated payments. Orders are gathered accurately, sent to the kitchen instantly and payment can be taken at the table when diners are ready.

Key benefits:

  • Enhance the guest experience: Take orders quickly and accurately — and enable payments at the table
  • Ensure food arrives quickly: Send orders to the kitchen in a single click from the device
  • Free up staff: Teams can achieve far more on the go, with no need to queue at the POS terminal
  • Increase revenues: At busy times, staff can take more orders and turn tables faster, sometimes growing income by 5-25%

Kitchen display system

Syrve’s built-in kitchen display system (KDS) eliminates bottlenecks between service and kitchen teams. You can easily accept orders from multiple channels (such as your website, app and third-party delivery apps) and put them into one process flow — visible to everyone.

Key benefits:

  • Manage it all with a unified platform: There are no extra fees or integration required for kitchen management software
  • Reduce friction: Keep the waiting staff and kitchen team in sync and optimise speed of service
  • Track orders easily: Touch screens, bump bars and POS views allow kitchen staff to easily prioritise food preparation and manage timings across multiple kitchen stations.
  • Accurate tracking and management: There are no lost orders or communication issues, ensuring that guests receive the right orders at the right time

Integrated Payments

With Syrve, you can make payments fast and convenient for your customers. We give restaurants the flexibility to choose between our available integrated payment processing partners – so you can shop around for the best available rate or build a custom integration using an API.

Key benefits:

  • Improve the guest experience: Speed up checkout and focus on one customer at a time. Allow pay at table, pay at counter, gratuities and bill splitting
  • Choice and convenience for customers: You can support card present, card not present, and eCommerce payment options
  • Selection of payment partners: Syrve seamlessly integrates with all the major payment service providers accredited with major banks. Choose the partner that suits you
  • Streamline operations and save time: Move towards easier reconciliation and reporting, with no need for manually entering and reconciling transaction dates
