Thanks to innovation and technology, today guest can visit any of our restaurants and not only view the menu, but order food request for special instructions, request for their bill and pay for their experience without even interacting with any human.

During extremely busy hours, guest can use the radio frequency service ‘Call’ button to ask their server for a prompt and effective service call which directly is notified on the servers smart watch.

During events and bar nights, software’s such as ATOMX allow us to directly take cashless payment from the guest and generate the bill from the credit card machine itself removing the need to use the restaurant POS which often can not take the load of high frequency billing.
