WebSocket-driven everywhere
The owner orders page opens a WebSocket on mount. Order placed, order approved, status changed, waiter call — all fan out instantly to every connected staff browser in your organisation.
Features
Orders push to staff in real time.
No 5-second polling, no "refresh to see new orders". When a guest taps Submit, your waiter sees the card before they put their phone away.
Tablet-friendly kitchen view
The chef's tablet shows only approved orders, tap-friendly cards, big status buttons. Single-tap status transitions, audio alert when a new order arrives.
Polling fallback for flaky WiFi
If the WebSocket disconnects, polling resumes silently at 20-second intervals. Your team never loses an order to a transient network hiccup.
