WHAT PROBLEMS DO WE SOLVE?
Long wait times after you order your food
&
Underage Drinking
WHAT CAUSES THESE PROBLEMS?
Crowded restaurants cause servers to be "Double or Triple Sat", making them do each step of service for multiple tables simultaneously, often leaving a large lag in the time from when you order your food to the time your food arrives to the table.
Large events such as concerts and music festivals attract business from all over the world and often have many of their patrons staying in hotels in the city's hosting the event. The large influx of people in the city, causes hotels and their affiliated restaurateurs to be extremely busy, often making a servers life more stressful and leading to lackadaisical service.
Bartenders are often very familiar with the Identification Cards for their state but generally are not aware of out of state laws and regulations for Identification Cards. This trend is used when manufacturing fake Identification cards to drink underage at a bar or restaurant.
THE STAKEHOLDERS
Restaurant Patrons: long wait times cause someone to become "Hangry"
Restaurant Owners: Faster Service, Happier Guests, Safer service
The Community: Decreasing underage drinking makes the surrounding area safer
Servers/Bartenders: Easier shift at work, the confidence to know the ID is fake
OUR SOLUTION!
FlashServe is a smartphone/tablet application that allows servers to send food orders back to the kitchen from the table side, rather than writing it down and walking to a computer to do so. Decreasing wait times and increasing order accuracy. We have also designed an Identification scanner that uses the camera of the smartphone/tablet to verify if an ID is legitimate or fake, preventing underage drinking while also saving time on checking suspicious cards.
