Story with Orca

Daren: How we use Orca, we actually take the orders from the table, and the orders are actually passed in real time into the kitchen, that is already a performance improvement. Orca provides KDS (Kitchen Display System) on the screen, you can actually manage it with your fingers, and that actually help to reduce the loss of the paper docket, and that helps to avoid a lot of unnecessary argument between the customer and the servers, and the cooks as well.

Orca provides us with an intuitive user interface; we can access our sales data, sales mix on demand easily whenever we need it So, the ease of getting information and the on demand availability actually helps us to project our sales and to forecast our item mix, which our kitchen relies a lot to prepare our food items.
